Point of Power

One of the things I mentioned in my last blog was 'point of power', which is in the moment because that is the only real time we exist. That is the only place we can change what we do, how we feel, how we react, what we think. Now our initial reaction to anything in our exterior world may be a conditioned response, by this I mean a way we have learned to respond. In some ways this conditioned response may have given us the result we wanted in the past, but as we change e.g. grow up, move into different relationships or circumstances these responses may no longer either be appropriate or get us what we want. Also we may start to see certain circumstances seem to repeat themselves over and over again! An indication that something needs to change to get a different result. The start of this is accepting responsibility for our circumstances, knowing the only time we can change anything for ourselves is in the moment, this is the place our initial thought formed to create our initial belief about ourselves and our world.

When we become aware of these initial responses I am suggesting this is our point of power. We may not always feel like we are empowered in these moments but I am suggesting just the noticing of our initial reactions or thoughts is enough to allow yourself to become empowered. One of my past beliefs was I always had to appear to be good and in control of my emotions. Now I can feel uncomfortable emotions, really feel them in my body, not need to bury them or run away from them. Then that's when the magic happens, I feel them fully, give myself permission to feel uncomfortable and something changes. I allow myself to become vulnerable and communicate what I am feeling. I allow myself to say "I need to go right now" because this moment is not feeling so good to me. I can sit with these feelings until I feel some relief, I might gain some clarity about a situation that I didn't have in the past. The circumstances or relationship shifts in an unexpected way.

My fav book at the moment "A Seth Book" talks about self hypnosis. I am so enjoying this exercise! It is about changing ones beliefs in the moment with undivided attention in a relaxed atmosphere. Not just an exercise in positive affirming but sitting with an old pattern with new thoughts about it. Thoughts we can believe that can replace the old pattern. Ideally it is practiced for about 10 minutes, a continuous thought or stream of thoughts about a situation and how you would like it, having the mind set that you are going to accept this new belief. Preferably start with an issue that you don't have a really negative reaction around. Keep tweaking the thoughts until they feel right and acceptable to you. Again it will take practice, that is what it is going to take to change old beliefs and patterns that no longer serve us and we know that by what is appearing in our lives. Pretty easy to see what is not working, no need to judge but yes a change needs to happen.

Oh gone on, be the change you want to see happen. Then you will know you are your own point of power!
