Ok some of the things we have been looking at are our beliefs. It is generally accepted that we form these beliefs predominately during our childhood from our external world eg parents, siblings, friends, authority figures. Anyone we have some kind of dependency on.
It is also widely stated that we just keep repeating these beliefs, which form patterns, throughout our life until we become conscious that we have something to do with these patterns. I am exposing myself to teachings that are revealing to me that when I allow myself to experience the reactions fully to a repeat pattern, I am releasing the feelings that initially formed the beliefs from day 1.
Now this is a very interesting way to look at our reactions to something we don't think we like in life, that sometimes we feel bad or guilty for having. Some of these reactions may be anger, hurt, frustration, shame, embarrassed, humiliated to name a few. What if these emotions were our 'guiding lights' to releasing these limiting beliefs and patterns. What if we gave ourselves permission to have these feelings, allowed ourselves to feel them fully, knowing that we are releasing past feelings that have been holding us back from living the life of our dreams.
I say embrace this new belief as a path to freedom. We don't need to project these feelings onto others, they can just be something we allow ourselves to have and if we do project them onto others, which can happen at times, it isn't a reason to pile a dob of guilt on top, just another emotion to sit with, allow ourselves to feel, know we are releasing something from our past that may have served us in the game of life but no longer applies!
Beliefs are a way of navigating life, just a road map we use to get from a to b. We can change these beliefs to get us to where we want when what we want changes. Hold these beliefs lightly, don't take them too seriously, because before you know it they are ready to be replaced by new beliefs that are going to support us in getting what we want from life! Enjoy!
