Self-Empowerment

How we create our own reality:
Because we create our own reality with our thoughts, we experience whatever we believe or do not believe. All that is required is to simply visualize exactly what we desire to create, give thanks for it, and see it in our experience at that moment, even if it has not manifested yet. From that time on, all we need to do is say "thank you" to the Source of our being whenever we happen to think of it. As your thoughts are very powerful energies in and of themselves, it is vital to eliminate all doubt about any aspect of your ability to create.

Many people will visualize what they desire and even give thanks to Source for it, but they cancel their creating with their next thought: 'I'll have to get a loan' or 'Now I have to get another job'. By doing so, they place limitations upon Source and themselves which negates the whole process. In putting limitations on Source, we thus experience Source and ourselves in a limited way.

Many people use "prayer" as a means of asking Source to give them their heart's desires or to do or fix "negative" things in their experience, i.e., to heal a sick daughter, even when we all have the Source-given ability or energies to do these things ourselves. Source does not interfere or do things for people: It simply gives us the means to create our own reality. When co-creating, it is essential to get permission from the person you desire to "help", otherwise you are breaking the Law of Non-interference.

How to receive the gifts from our experience:
Accept all the positive and negative experiences as something you have chosen. Those things you see in need of change or healing are simply chosen experiences which you do not wish to own or accept at the time. Examine what you have perceived in your life experiences as being "negative", and ask yourself:

Why did I choose this experience? Why did I choose this teacher or teachers to assist me with this experience? What is the gift for me in this wonderful learning opportunity/experience?

The teacher will continue to teach the lesson until the student has learned the lesson. Once we understand the lesson and receive the gifts from that experience, there is no longer a need for the teacher to teach it. When we own our experiences, especially those which are painful or fear-based, we will be able to see the gifts clearly. Those whom we judge are simply our teachers. As long as we judge anyone - including ourselves - that person will have something to teach us. It is up to us to recognize what the lesson is so that we can move on, and in doing so, the teacher is released from their "contract" with us.

Example: I may have chosen a life with an abusive father in order to learn how to love uncondition-ally. In fully understanding that he is my teacher, I realize that those who are abusive to others do not see themselves as whole or complete and are greatly in need of love. If I return his negativity with hate, anger, or judgment, I only compound the problem. When I release all judgment of him and love him without condition, I, in turn, transmute my own fear and neediness, and come into a place of empowerment at a higher level of understanding than ever before. The abuse is no longer an effective tool for my father because I do not respond negatively to it. The lesson is even more powerful when I apply it to all of my relationships where I have formerly responded in a fear-based manner.

How a "healer" functions:
When a person is ready and willing to receive healing, i.e., are open to changes in their thinking or perceptions about their experiences, the healer will channel in healing energy or love. This will cause specific lower vibrational energies, blockages, or fears (which are the consequence of that person's choices) to resurface and be understood. Harboured negative energies cause disruptions in our emotional and mental bodies which eventually manifest in our physical body as every illness is related to specific negative thoughts or experiences which have not been comprehended in a positive framework. If we desire healing and are willing to totally embrace and understand the true underlying reason for our "illness", then those energies will be transmuted or released from our body and can no longer restrict the flow of universal life force to us. In reframing an experience (seeing it as worthy of celebration) we replace the negative with positive, or the darkness with light, and our physical health can be restored. This new positive insight causes our vibrations to increase and, in turn, enhances our ability to: comprehend our purpose, to understand Universal Law, and to connect to Source at a higher level.

How to release stored emotional negativity on your own:
Find a place where you will not be disturbed by your family, phone, or outside activities. Do the grounding and soul protection exercises (click here) before beginning this assignment as you may otherwise open yourself to interference from the children of fear (dark energies).

Your preparation also requires that you make a statement of your intention to look at any issue that is holding you back in your spiritual development. Also, keep in mind the importance of recognizing the layering effect of releasing issues, which is similar to the many layers of onion skins you have to peel back before you get to the center. With each layer you embrace, process and release, your vibrations and awareness increase, thus making the next layer of that issue easier to access. If you deny any part of yourself, you fragment your energies and reduce your vibrations and awareness. Putting painful emotions and experiences "on the back burner" will only cause you more difficulty in gaining access to them in the long run.

Sit or lie down in a comfortable place. Breathe slowly and deeply. Ask your Higher-self or spirit guides to bring into your awareness those issues from the past which are yet unresolved (abandonment, anger, betrayal, hatred, jealousy, sadness, hurt, guilt, resentment, neglect, etc.) even though you may feel you have already dealt with these emotions or issues. Ask that the memory of each particular emotion, the event associated with it, and who it was with (your messenger/teacher) be brought back to you to see, feel, and/or know. If you do not get anything right away, relax, breathe deeply, and reaffirm your intent.

Speak aloud to the messenger/teacher involved in the incident with great intent as they are revealed to you, to express how it was you felt when it took place. Allow yourself to speak, cry audibly, shout, or release whatever comes to you in the moment you are reminded of the old feelings. Then say words similar to the following:

"I release into the light, all my feelings (of hurt, anger, frustration and resentment) when (name of the person/s) (treated me in that way). I transmute all my pain and negativity with love and light and return it with love and light. I release all the love I have withheld from (the name of the creator) and return it with love."

If you feel any pain or discomfort in any part of your body, breathe light into it to fill and seal off all those enlightened areas so negativity or darkness cannot re-enter. Repeat the process with any other issues that come to the surface. Do this as exercise as often as you are able. As long as you find yourself easily giving into anger, fear, or any other negative emotion, you are not yet finished dealing with your issues and the perpetrators.

Using breathing techniques to release negativity:
To open to the energies of your soul aspect, find a place where you will not be disturbed. It may be done while sitting, lying down, running, doing dishes, and even in the bath. There are no rules. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for this exercise.

Begin by first grounding, clearing, and doing your protection. Visualize a tube or column of light running from 5 cm above your crown chakra to 5 cm below your root chakra. Make it your intent with every breath you take, to draw in Source energy from both entrances of the tube, coming to meet in the center at your solar plexus or heart centre. This intent will serve to increase your physical and mental energies, decrease the aging process, awaken every cell within your body, increase your overall energy, and make you aware of any remaining unresolved issues.

The underlying premise is to get into the habit of knowing you can boost your energy and your knowingness each time you reaffirm you are capable of doing such things through this exercise. Through this physical action, you are reinforcing the inner connection to your Source-self, which is your "unlimitedness". Initially, you are making yourself more conscious of the truth which is already written on your subconscious thus making the connection to your inner Source-self.

How to own your "unlimitedness":
Jesus taught that we are all One with Source, that we are eternal, indestructible, unlimited, all-powerful beings or soul aspects of Source experiencing how to create within the universe. All roads lead to Source, but in choosing love, you will always find that to be the shortest route.

Our consciousness is composed of energy descended from Source. We can only utilize Source's extremely high level of energy when the vibration of that energy is reduced as it enters into the lowest realms or levels of experience in the universe. Once it has experienced this level, it will then choose to re-ascend or evolve back again into total consciousness or total awareness of Self and return to Source with its experiences. All life is simply portions or aspects of Source sent out into the universe to experience life on various levels and then to return to Source to merge again with It. In doing so, all of its experiences are known or shared with Source in that reunion of energy.

To Source, and all aware beings, there is no such thing as a miracle, there is simply the intelligent use of thought energy. Miracles exist only for those who do not understand their unlimited selves, the true power of Source, and their relationship or connection with Source.
