Step 5: Learn to let go

🎶 ‘Breaking up is hard to do’ 🎶 but sometimes it’s absolutely necessary! Break up with beliefs that are no longer serving you

Welcome!

Thank you for joining me on this 12-step journey towards increasing your Creative flow and reducing stress.

I’m Rita, and I am a Healer and a teacher. It’s my calling to help people evolve, elevate and expand their thinking. I help people to heal through natural modalities that fall outside of traditional medicine. That’s exactly what you will find here, so I hope you’ll stay!

Step 5 will truly change your Life if you can even begin to tackle it. Let’s get started!

Change can be really hard. It puts you in a position to leave your comfort zone and venture into, sometimes, unknown territories. This fear of the unknown can keep you from a beautiful and varied Life, especially when it impacts your willingness to grow and evolve.

From the minute you breathe Life into your lungs, you are bombarded with messages from the environment around you. For example, structure and order in your day – before you are even aware that you are a living human being – gives you the message that events happen in a certain order and that Life can be predictable. This is important for a newborn and for well-adjusted development.

However, not all of the messages you take in, a majority of which are subconscious and unconscious, are as generous as a structured routine in your early days of Life.

Before the age of seven, your subconscious mind has set itself as the foundation for all of your future decisions and behaviors. That’s a lot of messages, in the form of stimuli, to take in. This is especially confounding because in the first seven years of Life you are still trying to make sense of the world and your place in it.

These messages become internalized on a subconscious and unconscious level, and become the foundation for your belief system. However, they are based on the sender’s own belief system, which came from generations prior. It is an endless lineage of belief systems and messages, both conscious and unconscious, that you take in to be your own.

For example, on a personal level you might believe that making a living by writing is not a fruitful career. That message likely came from someone close to you, maybe a parent or teacher. On a broader spectrum, you might believe that it is inappropriate to go into a grocery store without shoes on. This is more likely a belief that came to you via society.

Regardless of where the messages have come from, it is up to you to become aware of your beliefs and decide whether they truly align with your personal belief system (the beliefs you have chosen on your own). This requires of you some high level processing and in-depth work. Some may align, others will not. And that’s where I’m going here.

Let go of Self-limiting beliefs that are no longer serving you

Nurturing your Creative flow of Energy can be a very spiritual experience because, in doing so, you are also nurturing ties to your Spiritual Center. Disconnect from your Spiritual Center leads to fear, confusion, creative blocks, and more.

Your Spiritual Center is from where Creativity flows freely. Keep in mind that Creativity, in this sense, can mean everything from everyday problem solving to masterful works of art.

One way in which you might prevent yourself from living a more fulfilling Life is by holding on to the belief that your Spiritual Source dishes goods in limited proportions.

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I don’t want my luck to run out.”, “I don’t want to jinx myself”, or even, “I’m afraid that something will go wring since things have been good for a while now.”?

Many folks often set limits on how much good they can receive, and when given in abundance, they will turn around and send some back in the form of negative thoughts and attitudes, or believing that they are undeserving.

These are Self-limiting belief systems and need to be corrected in order to reach new levels of vibrational healing and living. You must be willing to fully and truly believe that you deserve good in abundance, and only then will you open yourself to receiving all that is good.

You must learn to let go of the need to control where the sources of good in your Life comes from, and begin believing that your Spiritual Source wants and wills good for you in due time.

Part of the Journey to this acceptance occurs when you nurture your Self, and your Creative Self, by doing things that you love and enjoy.

Until next time,
