Creating Change

People know that New Year’s resolutions are difficult to maintain and bad habits are hard to break.  It is generally believed that habits are deeply ingrained and probably integrated as part of your personality.  You can’t make yourself change.  How many times have you said to yourself:  “I really, really, really want to be _______________,” (fill in the blank: thinner, happier, smarter, kinder). You may have taken some new steps in the right direction, but after a while reverted back to your old ways of operating in the world.

     
The reason that personal change is so difficult is because the underlying cause of undesirable feelings and behaviors is “energy” that is sticking firmly somewhere in your space.  The word energy is a rather vague, new-age-y word, so let me describe it in a more meaningful way.  You’ve probably have been able to definitely discern that when someone is yelling at you it means that they are angry because you can physically feel the energy of their anger.  It makes your body feel very uncomfortable; you will want to respond by running away or fighting back.  Before that person made the anger energy visible by venting it, it was inside their body. Now if they don’t vent the energy at all, it stays inside the body.  The energy of this anger can then become the cause of undesirable behaviors such as being rude to people (or in extreme cases, manifest as self-mutilating behaviors or disease).  This energy has to be released in a safe way before any change or healing can take place.  Anger is just one example of energy that can be stuck in your space.  The energy of guilt or shame or responsibility (just to name a few) can also be the basis for behaviors or feeling that you wish to be rid of.  So if you want to change, you have to release energy, let go of it, de-energize it. 

     
When you release energy, you create more open space within your body and aura.  You can fill up that space by replenishing your energy and healing yourself.  I’ve seen people create many changes and miracles by releasing energy and replenishing with their own energy.  You can’t force change, but you can create the space for change to happen.  This change can happen effortlessly.  It is usually accompanied by a transitional time (“growth period”) as your body gets used to the new energy. 

     
We have several techniques for releasing energy, but that is fodder for another post! 

Energy Exercise:
Sit in a comfortable chair with a straight back, put your feet flat on the floor, and take a deep breath. Imagine that you can see the debris swirling around you. If you would like to know where it came from, just grab a piece and look on the back for a name. It's probably someone you know, but not always. Next, imagine that there is a giant vacuum down at the center of the earth, and the hose extends all the way up to you so that you can use it. Turn the vacuum on and let it suction the debris out of your space. You can also use the nook and cranny attachment to get in-between the layers of your aura. There is also the soft brush attachment for the days when you need a gentle cleaning.


Sorry I've been gone too long. It's nice to be back.
