Creating Your Own Reality

"So as I will, So as I think, So will It be-
So as you do, So as you grow, So shall ye reap."
Positive affirmation and visualization tools will help you in programming
your subconscious mind into realizing or believing that which you have
been affirming. In short you become what you affirm and create. Simple!
When making your affirmation keep your statement positive and repeat
it over and over. This is the key to reprogramming your subconscious
to believe what you are inputting or uploading.
"The subconscious only records, it doesn't have the capacity to weigh
and measure and consciously make decisions. It simply acts as a recording
device and blindly acts on the info it picks up. This is where you and
your conscious brain must come in to negotiate and reason with the part
of your brain that is incapable of making an informed/logical decision."
The Personal Alter
A fun and creative activity to help you on your growth path is to create
your own personal altar. The personal altar is a tool to help you to
learn to appreciate yourself and for making your positive affirmations.
It is another way to ritualize and bring your thoughts, desires and
affirmations into the third dimension.
This tool can help you to transform your view of yourself from negative
to positive. It is helpful in rebuilding your self-esteem after years
of negative programming by family, peers and your own self. It is another
small step up the proverbial ladder in learning to plant seeds of self-love
in your subconscious mind.
You cannot argue with your subconscious mind. It only acts as a recording
device diligently recording every input. It doesn't have the capability
to reason or think things through. It is the source of your primal mind
and lifelong programming. The subconscious is there to constantly record
input for survival reasons.
It is the part of your mind that hypnotists and some psychoanalysts
make suggestions to and "dig through" when looking for information that
you have forgotten consciously. Some therapists work with the subconscious
in past life regressions, believing that we have records of many lifetimes
recorded there.
Your personal altar can give you a place to collect symbols of your
accomplishments on your evolutionary path.
This is a creative tool for reprogramming your subconscious mind in
acknowledging the fact that you are changing and evolving into a better
person. When building an alter to your sacred self remember that you
want it to represent you and where you are going. Remember that when
making an affirmation to do it in a positive way. The same goes for
your altar.
If you wish to use symbols of what you want to be, or what you want
in life, do so as if those aspects or things are already in your reality.
Operate as if those things are already there. Say, for a simple example
that you are looking for a mate. Maybe a doll or picture or items that
represent what you want could be added to your altar.
Say you want a lover that will cook for you. Maybe add something to
your altar that represents that: A tiny chef hat or spatula. If you
want a mate that shares your vegetarian philosophies- a tiny doll dish
of beans could be added. You see my point. You are making it real for
your subconscious to record. Simple and direct, it helps to keep your
mind focused on the details of what you want.
The alter is there to remind you that you are a part of creation and
that you are involved in that creation process, just as in your dream
journal and daily journal. Don't feel you need to write in them everyday,
or have to meditate or add to your alter everyday.
Just write in them when you feel like it or can get to it. The point
of this exercise is to help you in your life, not create more work and
add more pressure. You want to be able to depressurize so to speak,
so take it easy, take care of yourself, use all your tools but don't
pressure yourself to have to do them, otherwise you are missing the
point.
An alter is just a third dimensional focusing point. Enjoy your creative
process as you help yourself along your personal evolutionary path.
Life is a journey. Best to make the most out of it! Have fun!
A few ideas to get you started:
Your alter can be on a table-top, in a box, an old suitcase, makeup
kit, in a sheltered place in your yardÉ.
For a personal alter you may use a self-portrait, a photograph of yourself,
a small statue representing you, (it doesn't necessarily have to "look"
like you. It can represent how you feel or how you would like to feel
about yourself. We all know of the person that places a "fat" picture
of themselves on the fridge to keep themselves from getting in there
and chowing down, but you don't want to do that in your alter. You want
a positive picture or representation of how you want to be!
When making an affirmation say it as if it were already true and state
it positively.
Write an affirmation to go with the object in your alter. (I have an
angel statue in one of my many alters and she has her hands cupped out
in front of her. My friend gave me an old earring of the planet earth
hanging from a peace sign. So groovy! I placed the peace sign in my
angel's hands and the earth dangles below. Everytime I look at it I
say in my head, "May I find peace in this world and may the world find
peace in me." So far I have told nobody my affirmation that goes with
my angel, but I think it's worth sharing with my sistersÉ.
I affirm that this helps to get you on the path of personal conscious
and subconscious growth! If you are well on your way already, maybe
this tidbit can remind you to share your info with those around you
to help them in their growth process.
Spring is a time for the celebration of rebirth! So rejoin with the
earth seasons and plant your seeds today!
