creator • THOUGHT PATTERNS LEAD TO EVERYDAY FEELINGS
We are all powerful creators. Often we just create in a negative way. Part of why we’re here in this physical form is to learn to use this power consciously in ways that serve our highest good. Some of you have heard of the Law of Attraction. Simply put, the law of attraction is whatever goes out comes back. Think of all of our thoughts, feelings and beliefs operating at different levels of energy, different vibrations. If we send out negativity or lower vibrations into the world through our thoughts and emotions, that level of negativity or vibration comes back to us. If we send out positive energy into the world and to other people, we attract that back. We are held responsible for what we create. That’s not a form of punishment. It’s simply how the Universe is structured. Let’s look at some of the ways we create our reality through thoughts, emotions and beliefs.
“THINK POSITIVE” Think about your thought patterns for a moment. How negative or positive do they tend to be? When you think of something that might happen in the future or that you want in your life, do you immediately create a positive or negative image about it or about yourself? There is an unconscious part of us that absolutely listens to everything we say. If we continuously create negativity through our thoughts and hold judgments against ourselves and others, it listens to us and puts energy into creating that. So, if we’re holding an image of not being able to do something or continuing to think in a negative way about it, guess what we create? The thoughts we have send a message to ourselves about who we are, hold a focus for what we create and help determine the level of vibration in our bodies. We can help create our own health and vitality by holding a positive attitude towards ourselves and others as that affects the quality and function of each cell in our body. If you use your thoughts and internal images as a reference point for what you’re creating, are they helping you create what you want or more of what you don’t want?
The feelings we experience are often the result of the thoughts that we’re having. However, sometimes these thoughts are so automatic that we’re not aware of them and can’t connect them as the cause of our feelings. The feelings we have are what carry the vibration out into the world and help create both our inner and outer experience. If we have an outcome we wish to manifest and feel very joyful and enthusiastic about it, the vibration we send out around that outcome is very strong and clear, and we are more apt to create that in our reality if it is for our highest good. On the other hand, if we have an outcome that we’re uncertain, apathetic or hold doubt about, it may remain a long time in the ethers. Think about the feelings you experience on a regular basis. Think about any negativity you may be holding on to from the past. What are you attracting into your life because of the vibrations you’re sending out?
DEVELOP YOUR BELIEFS The beliefs we hold are also a powerful factor in the creation of our reality. Beliefs form the foundation of our view of the world and our reactions to events. Often these are on an unconscious level. Our beliefs allow in love and abundance or keep us stuck in unsatisfactory relationships and scarcity. They can help us move forward or sabotage our change. The beliefs we hold shape our behaviors, our perceptions, our concept of who we are and the patterns we keep repeating. Examples of beliefs that empower us are “I trust the decisions I make…I am capable of handling life on my own…I deserve abundance.” Examples of beliefs that are limiting or hold us back include, “I’m not good enough…I must be perfect…Everyone must approve of what I do.” Change is difficult if there is an unconscious limiting belief holding the old pattern in place. According to Tony Robbins, “What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.” Think about the beliefs you hold about money, relationships and your own worthiness. What are you creating with your beliefs?

So, how do we become conscious creators? HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS: • Become aware of your thoughts and channel them to a more positive focus. • Deal honestly with your feelings and get help in letting go, if necessary. • Set your intention to let go of judgments. • Hold images in your mind of what you want more of. • At the end of the day, ask yourself, “How did I create, promote or allow the experiences I had today?” (Be honest with yourself.) • Forgive yourself for believing you are less than Divine. • Hold the highest vision of yourself and be devoted to that daily. • Love yourself no matter what.
Life begins to flow when we learn to honor our path by loving who we are on it. Use wisely your power of creation. May we all awaken from the dream of our inadequate selves. If you’re interested in changing your reality and learning how to create consciously, call 402-884-0621.
