A belief is having trust and faith in someone or something, an acceptance that it exists or is true, even without proof. Especially without proof!
Where do your beliefs come from?
You can have beliefs about all aspects and areas of your life including abundance, relationships, work, food, the nature of our reality, and what you are doing here.....
These beliefs mainly come from other people, but you can also retain beliefs from past lives that you have experienced even if you can't remember them, and also create different ones as an adult having new experiences.
The beliefs you have and hold are the bedrock and foundation for your personal world. So it would make perfect sense that you would choose for them to serve you in the best and highest possible way, right?
Well, what if I was to say that the majority of the beliefs you have are not of your choosing but of someone else's? And then if I told you that most of them aren't relevant or appropriate and don't resonate with you at all! What if your beliefs are just you relaying something that you had heard and taken to be true without questioning? Sounds pretty crazy put like that, doesn't it?
The problem is the beliefs that come from other people can be hugely detrimental and actually hinder you from fulfilling your potential in this lifetime by creating energetic blockages of varying degrees that manifest as all sorts of issues. They are just begging to be released and healed.
How your beliefs impact you
We are taught not to think for ourselves, but blindly obey without question. As children we take on beliefs from our parents or guardians and gain acceptance and love from them in return. We have been conditioned to respond to others' behaviour to fit in with their expectations, beliefs and what they deem to be acceptable ..... to be worthy of their love ..... love with conditions attached!
This is such a big part of why you can feel so unloved, lacking in confidence and never good enough around those who are always trying to modify your behaviour so that you can fit into their little box of beliefs and make them feel more comfortable.
This all then gets taught to the next generation and is continuously passed on, but you are here to stop this cycle of mindless automatic repetition and consciously choose the beliefs that personally resonate with you.
As children this is something that you were conditioned to do and as an adult, the pattern of acceptance can keep repeating until you choose to do something about it. It is totally your choice whether you blindly accept the words and beliefs of others when you start raising your vibration.
Change your beliefs
It doesn't matter whether the source of each belief you take on is from a parent, authority figure, ancient wisdom, channelled wisdom or spiritual teacher.... it is their belief, but it is your choice whether it becomes one of yours.
It doesn't matter what works for them. What matters is what works for you. They can be different to you and you can hold different beliefs from them. You have the ability to choose about so many things in this lifetime and it is vitally important that you do this with your beliefs when you realise that you have options.
When you take on the beliefs of others and they don't resonate with your authentic/Higher Self/Soul's energy, it prevents you from being your truest self. Blockages are thus created energetically that cause problems in the future.
When you wake up to this you become empowered to do something about it! Change your beliefs, change your life.
How to change your beliefs
The really exciting part is that you can challenge the existing beliefs you hold, many of which lay hiding out of plain sight in the subconscious mind, and then change them. The beliefs you have make up your entire existence and you can transform your world by changing your beliefs. You can do this as they arise in your awareness and in this way, they will all be addressed at the perfect time.
The way to achieve this is to become more mindful. You can monitor your thoughts, assess existing patterns and beliefs and keep a journal of your findings. By doing this you can find freedom from the beliefs of others.
You can drop down into your heart centre and see how it feels to address any belief on an individual basis. Does this work for me right now? Yes, no, maybe not sure. You can then choose to keep it, change it for one that resonates or try it out for a little while longer. It might only be right for now. Be open and accepting because as you evolve so do your beliefs. They are your perspective at that moment in time.
Then you repeat this process with other beliefs that you hold.
Understanding resonation
So when I say what resonates and what doesn't, what does that actually mean? Anything that resonates with you has a compatible energy to yours and feels really good when you think about it, talk about it or experience it. Conversely, anything that doesn't resonate with you hasn't got a compatible energy to yours and feels really bad when you think about it, talk about it or experience it.
You have to feel for the answer, not think about it! Feel it in your heart, not think about it with the logical mind.
You can also choose to feel compassion for the belief givers and know that they have been serving a purpose, but you are enough and have always been enough. They were doing the best that they knew at the time, but can you see it's all an illusion?
That you chose a belief that wasn't a good match for you and it has wreaked havoc in your life? You are divine love connected to Source and you can choose to be that love at any point in time! You don't have to value yourself in the way others do, even though that is what you have experienced your entire life.
Has someone ever told you 'this is how it is' or 'my way is the only way' or 'there is only one way'? It is very common in all walks of life. If you read or hear this, it's a big no no no no no NOOOOOOOOOO!! A huge red flag needs to be waving right in front of your face, alerting you to danger and bringing awareness around a belief that someone else would like you to take on as your own.
When it comes to your beliefs it's all about you, your heart and connection to Source. You have a direct line to Source as you are all connected to Source energy through your heart centre and all have a spark of Source energy.
It's called your Spirit. To live a life in the highest alignment and following your guidance, you just need to know that you each have this personal connection and don't need an intermediary in any shape or form.
It's not until you start going within, meditating and changing your beliefs to be in alignment with who you truly are that you are able to see all of this from a higher perspective.
This is how you find yourself, your true and highest self. It was all meant to happen this way so you can experience who you really aren't, so you can then discover who you truly are.
Love and abundant blessings,
