The current recession creates panic through
the interminable doomsday scenario exploited by the media, the asinine
attitude of our leaders, who have lost sense of their mandate, and every
one's panic and confusion. This environment will instantly summon the worse
enemies you could face: Your Inner Enemies. These Shadows are
aspects of your psyche that carry your:
·
inherited fears and fear-based
myths,
·
negative beliefs,
·
control issues,
·
toxic and pent-up emotions and
·
fear-based defensive
strategies
These inherited defense strategies are not
efficient. They are:
·
Based on fear,
and therefore vibrate to fear and attract fear, making your vulnerable to
sensationalism, doomsday visions, worst case scenarios and panic.
·
Defensive in nature,
and therefore place you in the position of victim, giving away your power.
·
Learned dysfunctional
reactions based on false beliefs,
fears and limitations from your family of origin, community and culture.
·
Addictive illusions of
control that get triggered
whenever you feel out of control. They are addictive because they are
illusions. They are illusions because you are not in control, but in panic.
The only way to regain control over self is
by a process of release that I call Free from Fear! Here are four
simple steps that are part of a more complete process.
1.
Accept your feelings,
including fear, confusion, anger and frustration. Denying your emotions
blocks the Law of Attraction and disempowers you.
2.
Love and accept yourself
unconditionally in spite
of these feelings, without judgment. When you judge yourself you turn your
anger inwards or towards your loved ones. You also feel incompetent and
powerless.
3.
Release your illusion of
control over others. When you try
to control others or your circumstances, you give your power away. You can
only change yourself. Accepting that frees your energy and focuses your
intention; and
4.
Detach from your fear-based
beliefs, embodied by your
Inner Enemies. These “voices” get triggered, unleashing a series of old
defensive and fear-based thoughts that can send you into a panic. Detach
from these voices, the feelings and the beliefs they trigger.
Once you have gone through this process, you
experience a self-centerness and empowerment that free your ability to tap
into The Source. You can access your intuitive knowledge, seek useful
information to make a wise decision and activate the flow of the Law of
Attraction in your life.
While this process is an emotional process
that may take some time, here is an easy action that you can take to
neutralize those Inner Enemies that get hook up with negativity and
fear and magnify the worse-case scenarios.
Spot the Trigger Words and create a
Release Word
Your Shadows were created based on
prejudices, limitations and experiences in your childhood or youth. They
carry a lot of baggage. Whenever anyone throws a word, thought, belief or
emotional scenario that triggers these inherited beliefs or attitudes, Pop!
goes the Shadow. Once triggered, this Inner Enemy repeats the
old beliefs, thoughts, feelings and expectations, trapping you in your
inherited limitations.
Here's what to do. As you hear news, read
information, watch the presidential debates and so forth, develop your
Huntress' skills. Have an ear out for the words or scenarios that make your
breath stop and trigger fear. Try to spot at least 7 key Trigger Words.
Create a Release Word that acts like
a counter-trigger. This word, phrase or thought elicits your dream, faith,
power and strength and emotionally dissolves the negative scenario.
The important thing about the Release Word is that it transforms the
negative emotion into a positive one. Replace the negative scenario with the
positive one emotionally.
Your Release Word may dispel fear,
replacing it with peace or detachment. It can also change the meaning
of the Trigger Word. Here is a set.
|
Trigger Word |
Release Word |
|
Unpredictable |
What they mean is that we need new solutions.
Yeah! It's about time! Let's make them good ones this time. |
|
In this re-writing, you are taking the
scary charge of the unknown and focusing on the possibility of new
solutions that will work better for you, and you are giving yourself
an active role. |
|
Unemployment |
I receive the opportunities God sends me. |
|
In this re-writing, you are
surrendering to God and placing your faith as antidote to your fear.
You are also re-defining the situation as an opportunity. |
|
Collapse |
I stand tall as a tree, and find support in earth
and heaven. |
|
In this re-writing, you are physically
and emotionally affirming your connection to the source of all
abundance, Earth Mother. You are giving yourself feelings of trust and
positive sensations that are the opposite of collapse. |
Every time you hear the Trigger Word
(or scenario) and begin to panic, start breathing slowly and deeply and
counteract with your Release Word.
In the I-Ching, the meaning for
"Emergency" is the same as for "Emergence."
Tracking down the triggers that activate
your Inner Enemies and shifting these negative voices by summoning
your faith, trust, personal strength, values, creativity, humor and positive
expectations will allow you to transform this crisis into an opportunity.
To close this article, I threw my I
Ching Coins to answer the question below. I share the counsel.

Hexagram 27
Providing nourishment
Beneath the immobile Mountain the arousing Thunder stirs:
The Superior Person preserves his freedom under oppressive conditions
by watching what comes out of his mouth,
as well as what goes in.
Endure and good fortune will come.
Nurture others in need, as if you were feeding yourself.
Take care not to provide sustenance
for those who feed off others.
(Could this refer to the bail-out?) |
