Why get rid of it?
Most people don't know why they are depressed,
sick or blocked in life. They think they were born under an unlucky
star, that somehow life is sending them negative experiences. We often
believe diseases "just happen" and that we have no control
over our health. It is easy to blame life or other people for all our
problems and character defects. But life is basically on our side, and
we are the authors of our own experience. If this is true, however,
why do our relationships fail? Why does success elude us? Why do we
have such negative opinions of ourselves?
Our lives are created by our own thinking. Each
one of us is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The thoughts you habitually
entertain are shaping your experience. Your experience is created by
your unconscious mind, which is connected to Universal Mind. It takes
thought and emotion to create. You may have thousands of thoughts a
day flowing through your mind that are benign. They become creative,
however, when you add an emotion, either positive or negative. When
you are loving your life and feeling joy, love and peace, you create
more joy, love and peace. If you believe that life is out to get you,
you will create blocks to any forward movement.
For example, if you believe men are bad or
stupid, and if you have been hurt by them, you will attract stupid,
abusive men. Or they will act that way in your presence. Then your
mind says, "See? I was right! Men are stupid and abusive!"
But deep down what you really want is a loving man and a solid
relationship. Or perhaps you made an emotional decision sometime in
your life, based on pain, that you cannot trust women. You will
attract untrustworthy women who will betray you. On and on it goes.
Why? Because we have unconscious, trapped emotions and
emotionally-charged beliefs that keep creating the same patterns over
and over, making life suck!
We all carry a 'pain body' that holds emotional
garbage - all the painful memories from our past. The ongoing effort
to keep pain from surfacing - and the energy required to deal with
negative experiences that we are attracting into our life (by not
dealing with our pain body) - soon begin to make us sick, depressed
and afraid. And this creates exactly what we don't want to experience.
Because our pain body is continually triggered
by unresolved issues, we find ourselves over-reacting. An
over-reaction is always fueled by the past. Our physical bodies take
the fall-out from this emotional chemistry. We may believe that
suppressing our emotions or avoiding them is an easy way to cope. In
reality, however, avoidance and suppression make life much more
difficult, and cause a toxic chemistry in our body.
Mind control doesn't cut it.
Many of us have been practicing positive
thinking for a long time and are successful in a lot of ways. And yet,
negative experiences we couldn't possibly have created (we think)
continue to happen.
It is helpful to keep your thoughts positive.
Controlling our minds is a skill that every person should master. But
if you don't release stuck emotions, it is impossible to really change
your mind.
The old emotion behind a negative belief,
attitude or perspective keeps it active and you re-active. The mind
looks for emotional evidence to back up its beliefs, and these easily
become stuck like glue. But when you remove or release the trapped
emotion around a belief, your mind will change automatically. With the
emotional charge gone, you see what is true and what is not. Just
because your mother abandoned you at birth doesn't really mean that
all the people you love and feel the most connection to will leave
you. No matter how many times you have created that experience in the
past, it isn't inevitable.
Emotional garbage: dump it!
Psychology has come a long way since the advent
of Energy Medicine. There are many ways to dump our old emotional
garbage without digging through it. We don't have to haul around a
steadily accumulating pain body anymore. Energy psychology is becoming
more popular and widespread because of the Internet. Many therapists
are using techniques that can dissolve life-long issues in about 15
minutes.
So, how does it work? To begin, you must
clarify your emotional issues or the negative behaviors you want to
clear. Journal writing is excellent for this job. Writing about our
feelings helps us to process them as well as discover
emotionally-charged issues from the past that may be affecting our
current situation. Ask yourself, "What do I believe is
contributing to this issue?" Then look for the
emotionally-charged belief. The simple Energy Medicine techniques that
follow are worth your investigation.
Gary Craig and his Emotional Freedom Technique
(www.emofree.com) has changed the
world of psychology. He has taught hundreds of thousands of people
Meridian Tapping. This allows you to tap points on the body to remove
emotionally-charged material - tap, tap, tapping until the charge is
gone. Panic attacks disappear; depression dissolves. These are simple
techniques anyone can learn, even children.
Tapis Fleming (www.tatlife.com)
discovered an acupressure hold that releases emotional charge from the
nervous system and also works well to clear past traumatic emotional
experiences. While holding certain points, you focus on whatever
negative emotion or traumatic story you are feeling or remembering. In
just two to four minutes the emotional charge disappears -
permanently.
However, my newest and favorite technique is
releasing trapped emotions. This technique was developed over a
20-year period by Dr Bradley Nelson (see www.healerslibrary.com).
Nelson found that some clients simply don't heal even though, by all
the laws of science, there is no reason why they shouldn't. Using
Kinesiology or muscle testing, Nelson found trapped emotion in parts
of the body that wouldn't heal. He discovered that by running a magnet
down the spine (forcing the Governing Meridian backwards), the trapped
emotion would release and dissolve, and the person would heal. Clients
started to tell Nelson that not only did their bodies heal, but
unrelated issues in their life resolved as well. With this technique
you don't dig through the past; rather, you simply muscle test the
body to see what the trapped emotion is that is causing a problem or
issue and release it with a magnet.
With these techniques you can clear yourself
and other people. They work beautifully on children, husbands and
animals, and you can use the same techniques for distance or surrogate
healing.
You don't have to be a therapist. Anyone can do
it if they can clearly formulate the issue they want to resolve. For
the big stuff - issues you may not be able to find or don't want to
address on your own (like an active addiction) - ask a friend who
knows the technique to help you. Therapists who use these techniques
in their practice can also help you get clear quickly.
We live in exciting times. So much new
technology - from cell phones to energy medicine - is making our lives
easier than anyone dreamed possible. Now those old emotional issues
and wounds you have been dealing with can really clear and heal.
