We live with many rules about how we should feel. When we believe we have to feel a certain way given our circumstances, we are enslaved to our emotions. If we are stuck in traffic we think we should feel angry and anxious, so we do. If a loved one is sick we think we should feel worried and afraid. If it's cloudy outside, we think we have to feel bad.
Now you may find that some of your reactions seem almost pre-programmed, beyond your control, and without a doubt you're right. For our entire lives we've been told what to do and how to live, what's more important and what to avoid, from family, caregivers, teachers, television, the list goes on and on. It is easy to mistake all these incoming signals as rules and guidelines for how to live. They are not. The moment you allow yourself to break free from outside dictates and embrace your own standards for happiness, you are free.
It is the accumulation of all these incoming instructive messages that we call programming, much like each channel on your television carries specific programming. Over the many years you've been alive these various messages have been imprinted into your subconscious mind, and this programming controls the wheel and drives you through much of your day. Your subconscious mind initially held onto each of these signals as a means to protect you, but these beliefs will not serve you as you seek prosperity. They will only hold you back.
Unfortunately, not all our limiting beliefs and feelings go away when they are no longer needed. Because these fears and negative emotions block us from abundance, it is important to rid ourselves of them. We resist abundance because part of our mind believes it's unsafe or not right for us to have it. When we clear our limiting beliefs we begin to believe that we deserve abundance; then we attract abundance to our lives.
Energy techniques can help us change the programmed rules that limit our abundance and happiness.
Gratitude List
One way to change your energy is through the creation of a gratitude list. This inventory will show you all of the wonderful things you have for which to be thankful. It focuses your thoughts on positive things and shows you that you already experience success and ampleness each day. On days when you struggle to find something to be grateful for, be grateful for your breath. It is instrumental in keeping you alive. It nourishes your body. You are successful at breathing and nourishing your body with that breath. Therefore, you are successful in at least one thing. Focus on this and you will see that you have the capacity for success. Here's one way to look at it. Is it more important to be a person who successfully breathes or a person who successfully facilitates an important business merger? If you aren't breathing, the merger won't happen. If you can breathe, then you are successful and the day is good. So, you certainly have something for which to be thankful.
Emotional Freedom Technique
Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, is an energy modality based on acupuncture. Chinese medicine practitioners have been using acupuncture for thousands of years to increase the flow of energy through the body. Energy flows through the body along pathways called meridians. When the meridians are blocked we are out of balance, which is a state of illness or disease. Our natural, balanced state is health, wellbeing, and happiness. EFT frees us from programmed limitations and helps us restore our natural state of joy, balance, and flow.
EFT helps us to move beyond the confines others have set for us and brings us closer to the abundance we seek. Once untied from the restrictions of our misguided beliefs we can begin to uncover our true self and find that we are happy, healthy, loving people who enjoy prosperity.
