I have always believed that I am going to live to 120. But, sometimes I wonder. Do I believe this because my body “knows” this is how long I am going to live or am I going to live this long because I believe this?
Current leading science thought leaders (e.g. Gregg Braden, author of The Spontaneous Healing of Belief, Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits and Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. author of The Biology of Belief, Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles) are saying that what we deeply believe is really what’s controlling how we experience reality.
So, if the cutting-edge scientists are right, hummm, then it means that what I believe is what is controlling how my life goes.
So, then, why when we wish for this and that, don’t all these things happen for us?
Well, the scientists are saying there’s a big difference between wishing for something and believing something.
They say that when you believe something in your heart, with emotions, as being real and true and as something that has already happened, then that energy belief manifests into our reality.
Both of the books mentioned above I thought were terrific and at times I was mesmerized. But, their focus seemed to be on explaining how and why beliefs work. So what do we actually DO to believe something and then have it become “real” in our lives now, especially if what we want hasn’t happened yet in our lives?
In Spring Forest Qigong, Master Lin says that even if you haven’t totally forgiven someone (this is something he did during his personal energetic balancing process) if you’re willing to “pretend” that you’ve forgiven them, it opens those doors and things begin to happen.
So, let’s take an example, then. Let’s say you would prefer your body to be lean and mean and totally flexible and completely healthy without any “dis-eases” or aches and pains. How do you “believe” this (if you don’t really believe this is the actual truth of your body now?) You can practice believing this is true for you now by kind of hypnotizing yourself. Picture yourself exactly the way you want to be in your mind and drop that picture and feeling into your heart and feel how you feel with this as your reality, be grateful for this and live with these thoughts and feelings throughout the day. You could borrow from some of the self actualization processes and print out a photo of yourself exactly the way you want to be and look at this throughout the day and take it into your heart and practice feeling grateful for being this way.
If you meditate, another powerful thing to do is when you are getting deeper in your meditation, drop whatever you want into your heart believing and feeling that this is real NOW, that this is something that has already happened and feel grateful for this wonderful thing. You can imagine, believe, feel as real NOW and be grateful for e.g. a friend who is sick as in perfect health, any circumstances you want in your life and others’ just the way you want them to be, anything.
Gregg Braden shares two stories in his book about beliefs. The first is a story that shows how beliefs can impact physical realities. He travels to a cave that shows the imprint of a spiritually evolved person who believed he could move through physical objects and indeed there is still an imprint of a hand that passed through solid rock in a cave. Another story is also very compelling about how beliefs can impact time. A group of people traveling to see ancient historical sites in a bus had all anticipated the trip for a long period of time and as they were traveling there, a trip that normally took eight hours by bus, everyone was excitedly thinking and talking about the ruins as if they were already there. The drivers all were talking in disbelief as they arrived four hours early just saying it was impossible that they could travel a route that takes eight hours when they maintained the normal speed limit but somehow nonetheless arrived four hours early.
Belief is a form of energy. When we fill out the components of energetic balancing to include other things such as forgiveness, deep love and kindness and the balancing and clearing of energy blockages in the body through qigong and other energetic balancing methods, are there any limits to what energetic balancing can do? I deeply believe that energy balancing facilitates returning to improved health where there are physical, emotional or spiritual imbalances in a person’s life or body and can include such energy imbalances such as of chronic pain, cancer, depression, etc. Are there limits in my mind to what can be returned to perfect health with energetic balancing? Yes. In my mind, although there may be others, one key exception is when there may be a spiritual issue in a person’s life where deep inside there may be a reason that the person may choose a different path at that time.
So, there you have it. Just sharing some thoughts on beliefs and energy balancing.
With light and love from my heart,
