Evolving The Spirit

Evolving the Spirit Karma isn't the only thing that can set up thought patterns and actions in your life. How you think affects the way you feel. Our own thought patterns effect the health of our body, mind and spirit. Basically you're creating an uneasiness or "dis-ease" in your body, by the way you think and feel and approach each situation in your life. So each emotional thought pattern is really an underlying "cause" of a physical illness, or emotional situation in your life.   We all set up recurring thought patterns in our subconscious that affect how we live our life. These patterns could be self doubt, a lack of confidence, or emotional perspectives based on how you interact with others. These thoughts can come from societies preconceived notions about the kind of person you are, from family and friends, and from your own views about situations you have experienced in your life.   If you are a person who has been through many failed relationships, you could develop a thought pattern that causes you to expect failure in any new relationship that comes your way. Which is a way to set up a self fulfilling prophecy, even when your own "expected perception" is wrong.   Allowing these thought patterns to reside in your subconscious, allows them to dictate your choices in life, which at times can be detrimental to self-growth and enlightenment.    Making Change In Your Life So how can you change old patterns and release karma? What simple exercise can you do each day to help the evolution of your spirit? Through the process of Acknowledgment, Acceptance , Forgiveness, Action and Letting Go.   Acknowledgment You can't release something until you know it exists or are willing to admit it exists. So you first have to acknowledge the situation. Acceptance Once you've faced the fact it does exist, you have to accept it. That's part of unconditional love of the self. To accept the characteristic or action without judgment and to just accept it with love. Forgiveness Now that you've accepted the pattern, give yourself a break and forgive yourself for taking on this pattern. You're human and we all do this. No one expects you to be absolutely perfect. So don't expect that from yourself. It is what it is, you've acknowledge the pattern and you want to change it. There's no reason to feel regret or guilt, you can't change the past. But you can change the future. Focus on that. Action and Letting Go. Now the Action to correct these thought patterns, or repay this karmic debt can be implemented. In affecting change in your life, you are letting go of the past and moving toward self-growth and enlightenment.    Using Affirmations for Healing One way to help bring about change in your life it so focus on replacing negative thinking with positive thinking through affirmations. Affirmations are a way of reprogramming the subconscious to think differently and to automatically react in a more positive way when trigger situations occur in your life.   For instance, if you have problems with anxiety, you can use an affirmation to alter the underlying thought process associated with this ailment. First thing to do is understand what causes your anxiety. The underlying metaphysical cause of anxiety is "Not trusting the flow and process of life."   Affirmation Example: I am the embodiment of the Great Spirits, I trust the process and flow of life. I love and approve of myself . I am safe. And So It Is.   It sounds simple, but reciting this kind of basic affirmation can do a lot to change your thoughts and automatic reactions to situations that bring up anxiety in your life.    Creating An Affirmation You can create your own affirmation to address patterns you want to change in your life. There are a few basic characteristics to remember.   The Divine Self The first part of your affirmation should connect your physical mind to your subconscious Higher Mind or Divine Self. Such as one of the following: - I am the embodiment of the Great Spirits, - I can make change because I am one with the Divine Spirit, - I am one with God, - I am a divine creation of the Universal Spirit   The Corrected Thought Pattern The second part of your affirmation corrects the negative thought pattern you're trying to change. This is done on a subtle level, you don't want to focus on the pattern but rather the corrected pattern. So if you're trying to stop sabotaging relationships, don't focus on the negative action. Rather your affirmation should focus on the new positive reaction. Here are a few examples: - I am open and accept love into my life. To be open for a loving relationship. - I choose to create a life filled with joy. To change patterns of sadness or anger - I move with ease through time and space. To move forward and stop living in the past - I freely take in new ideas To be more accepting of change in your life   A Statement of Action Next you want to put the new thought into practice with a statement of action. You can use one or two sentences to do this. But keep them short. Here are a few examples using the corrected thought patterns above. - I love and approve of myself Start a loving relationship with yourself - I am happy and see beauty in all things Be happy and appreciate your life - I look forward to the future with joy Focus on the future with excitement - I adapt to the new with ease Accept and work with changes as they come easily   Embedding the Affirmation In the Now The final part of your affirmation is to set it in stone as something you are doing now. Not something you need to do, or need help doing. But rather something you've already implemented into your life and are doing in the here and now. The best way to put a fine point on that is to simply end your affirmation with So It Is, or Amen.   So Mote It Be, is a very common pagan saying that is basically asking to "let it be". It's a petition of action. An affirmation should be an action that isn't waiting for approval, but rather has already been enacted by the subconscious. This is ok for a prayer or incantation, but not an affirmation.   So It Is and Amen, in contrast are solemn ratifications of an expression of faith. They are a hearty approval that the previous statement has been asserted into reality.    Using Affirmations Affirmations are designed to change your subconscious thought, which will require a light meditative state of being when they are recited. That doesn't mean you have to sit down and prepare a meditation space. Simply taking a moment to focus your being on your Divine self, seeing and feeling your connection to the Divine force in your life and then reciting your affirmation is all you need to do.   An affirmation is recited at least twice a day. Typically in the morning when you rise and at night before you go to bed. The best method is reciting your affirmation 3 times a day, in the morning, at lunch and at night.   There are many ways you can write your affirmation to remind you to read it. Here are a few examples to help give you some ideas: Mirror Method Place a copy of your affirmation on a mirror you use in the morning and at night. Each time you look in the mirror, read the affirmation and really feel yourself pulling the words into your Divine self. Visual Cards Place multiple copies of your affirmation in various rooms or places you spend your time in during the day. At home on the fridge, on your mirror, in your office at work, next to your bed, or even in your car. Recite your affirmation while you're sitting still and take a moment to focus on it's words and see them being imprinted on your subconscious mind. Using Your PC One of the most creative methods I've heard of, is using your PC's screen saver to pop up a graphical image of your affirmation. I've seen people use a simple text scroll for their affirmation, to a little more creative graphical image that has the affirmation with a supporting picture next to the words. Each time the screen saver pops up, the affirmation is read. Another PC idea is using the wall paper feature on your PC to hold your affirmation. This way you see the affirmation when you first start up your PC, and then again when you close all the applications before you shut your PC down for the night.    Existing Affirmations There are three affirmations created for general purpose, channeled by Rev.
