Choosing our Thoughts and Words
This post goes with with the post about being Impeccable with your Word. I’ll tell my story later, but the essence is that I’ve been dealing with chronic pain since 2012 and I’ve chosen the path of holistic, energetic and spiritual healing to bring myself to full well being. We explore these concepts daily and try earnestly to put them into practice. Each day is fascinating and I feel we’re gaining momentum of fully understanding and embodying all we’ve learned.
This was today’s pre-meditation question and the answer that came after 20 minutes of meditation and a brief discussion of “what comes to us.”
Why is there sharp pain shooting from my hip to my foot on the right side?
It is fear and doubt manifesting in your body. Your body is healing and fear/doubt create resistance which causes friction/heat/“inflammation”. Disengage from fear and doubt and they won’t have impact in your healing. The assembly/understanding of “be impeccable with your Word” (from the “Four Agreements”) is important. The “Word of God” is just energy influencing experiences. Thoughts are variations of spoken Words, so the thoughts you engage with influence your entire being and that which you wish to create. A negative thought, such as fear, worry, anger, resentment, judgment of self or others, only serve to conflate those same emotions and pull you “down” or away from what you really desire which is peace, joy, well being, abundance, ease, love, compassion, etc. Why create your own stalemate by entertaining the negative when you have all the power to choose a higher and better response to empower more of what you desire? The feeling of being stuck is really a tug of war with yourself between infinite possibility and ideas of lack (or any opposing ends of dualistic concepts- “light vs darkness” being the most simplistic version.). Creation energy is neutral and will only energize more of what you think and feel, so choose wisely .
“I Am” statements are so much more powerful because all of the power is in the present moment. “I want” statements only keep that which you want just out of reach because that energy holds the resonance of not having it Now – it’s out there somewhere, but not not here with me now. Close the distance by saying, thinking, and acting as if you already have it and soon you embody and manifest the desire. Take note of any and all “evidence” of your desire which serves to reinforce the energy of already having it. When you notice thoughts to the contrary, develop your skill of “choosing a new playmate” by disengaging with the old/negative thoughts and returning to your “new friends” of positivity, encouragement and unwavering support for your highest and greatest good. Consider each time old thoughts surface as a beautiful opportunities to practice and hone your new skills. Expect to be challenged because you’re ready. Expect to be challenged because you are “prepared and powerful!”
