Choosing your reality

On By karmamarie23Leave a comment

Your reality is but one of infinite possibilities. That’s right, infinite.

There is a reality that exists right now where you are living your ‘dream’ life and another that is so much worse than the one you are currently acknowledging and everything in between.

I said acknowledging, yes. You align with what you focus on.

Think about your tv, there are always multiple channels available = multiple realities.

You select the show you want to watch and hit play = your focus.

So why do we get stuck watching a show we don’t want to see again? The program that plays on a loop.

Our subconscious wants to keep us safe, predictability is safe, surprise is risky. Ever feel procrastination when attempting something new? Going after a job that pays more than you ever made before? Asking someone out? Starting a new fitness routine?

So your subconscious runs this program of expectation. It’s not what you want but it’s predictable. Go to bed at this time. Wake up at this time. Start work at this time. Etc…

So how do you break out of this loop?

FIRST STEP: DETACHMENT. You have to detach yourself from the reality you are stuck in. When an unwanted experience shows up, move your attention along; keep shopping.

SECOND STEP: CONNECT. Meditate and connect to God, Source Energy, the Universe, whatever you call your higher power. Connection empowers with loving, creative energy. Empowerment helps you determine what experiences you want to have while here on Earth. You can do this in as little as 5 minutes! Envision your ideal reality.

THIRD STEP: ANCHOR. Once you have decided which reality you want to experience, hook into it by focusing on signs, clues, etc… Remember you align with what you focus on. Count your blessings, especially those that are part of this new reality.

Let’s use the Wizard of Oz as an example. If Dorothy is in Oz and acknowledges she’s in Oz she would be detached from the reality of home.

She decides she’s had enough of Oz and wants to return home, only not the same home as when she left. She envisions her ideal home.

By focusing on the aspects of home she anchors to it.

When I first started thinking about owning a house, I was nowhere near what would be considered close to being able to fulfill it. However, I started a brand new job in October 2022 and we were able to close on a home 9 months later!

I had to DETACH myself from the belief that I was only a renter, I then CONNECTED with source and my imagination – closing my eyes and envisioning sitting on my back deck of my ideal home drinking coffee and then ANCHOR myself into the reality by acknowledging the clues and signs that showed up like the candle holders I found in a store that I bought as a show of faith for our house and never put them up in our apartment or the image on my vision board that was almost exact match to the house we purchased.

IMPORTANT STUFF:

DETACHMENT means not investing yourself into the unwanted scenarios and experiences that will ANCHOR you into the unwanted reality. That means no falling down the rabbit hole on social media, tv, conversations with others, etc…

Imagine you are playing a game and in that game you are driving a car towards a goal. It moves where you direct it to, not necessarily where you want it to. READ THAT AGAIN. Your FOCUS determines where you are heading, not your wishing. If you start to go off course, it’s okay, just correct by refocusing on the goal.

The way you start your day plays a big part in how your day will end. I try to start every morning with a diet rich in positive content. That means I’m listening to morning meditation, motivational speakers like Wayne Dyer, Gabby Bernstein or Christie Marie Sheldon or music. I love playing upbeat house music during my shower. I’ll also go through my gratitude list. When you count your blessings, you receive more blessings.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” – Wayne Dyer

As I’ve been on this shifting reality journey I’ve found I like to give myself some visual cues to help sell the new reality. I like to do this at night so I see them first thing in the morning.

I’ll rearrange furniture or decorations or add something, like a new shower curtain with bright butterflies. Seeing the change really ANCHORS in the new reality, slowly but surely.

I hope this helps you on your own journey. Let me know if all or any of this connected to you. Do you have questions? Do you have answers? I’d love to hear from you.

Love and Blessings

REWRITE YOUR PAST

On By karmamarie23Leave a comment

I was having a conversation with a friend, actually a few friends and family members about the concept of Past and Present relationships.

Have you ever had a moment where you couldn’t recall an event from say, your childhood or maybe your recollection doesn’t match what others remember?

I have a theory.

The first is this: If you shifted your reality so that your NOW doesn’t align with the past you previously acknowledged – for instance, in your ‘past’ you experienced money blocks – No matter how hard you worked there was never enough – but NOW you have multiple sources of income, savings, always more than you need!

Therefore, that previous past no longer is connected to this NOW, you connected to a past where you grew up with a prosperity mindset.

If your past is the foundation, then it would have to change in order to support the new reality.

Let’s not forget that we live in a multiverse, with an infinite number of realities to CHOOSE from.

Now, to flip this over, what if instead of focusing on your now and shifting what up till now has been the ‘destination’ of the GPS ‘directions’ from before, you connected to a different past?

Say you are sitting in Austin, TX but your goal was to get to Ashland, South Carolina, you could change your ‘directions’ so that you would be rerouted to the ideal destination.

If nothing else, you could have a lot of fun with this! Sometimes, I like to pretend that my ‘future’ self went back and gave myself investing advice and I might get a letter in the NOW stating my investment has matured and how would I like it to be paid out?!

Or if I feel a certain insecurity about say, learning new things, I could connect to the ‘past’ where people marvelled at my ability to recall information at will and ace tests!

What do YOU think? Share in the comments.

Also, what is something that you would rewrite?

Until next time – Love and Blessings!

OUT with the BAD – IN with the GOOD

Did you know that we carry memories of experiences in our body and they can manifest as pain or discomfort?

Sometimes these memories aren’t even obvious, like maybe when you were 5 you were told you couldn’t have an ice cream cone and it was devastating to you because you really wanted that double scoop of cookies and cream.

Years later when you revisit the memory and release it, you feel a shift in your body, a part of you that you never realized was tense, because it had been there for so long it felt normal. It’s an incredible feeling that I have experienced first hand. Not only did a part of my lower back relax but I lost my fear of heights, too!

I’ve learned many different methods from many different teachers but the best success I have is through first identifying the issue, acknowledging what it is, releasing the attachment to it, then healing or clearing it.

Now, I am not suggesting you re experience the event, especially if it’s traumatic, though you probably are experiencing some of it on the daily on some smalll level.

What I am suggesting is to treat it like cleaning your house. Imagine you are cleaning your attic.

You IDENTIFY dust and clutter on the floor, you ACKNOWLEDGE this isn’t something that you want or need, you sweep it up and RELEASE it into the trash can, thereby CLEARING the floor and space.

This is how I do this for myself. I feel pain or discomfort in my body, say my neck. I used to think this pain was a normal result from sitting at a computer all day but I’m able to release it pretty easily, which tells me it isn’t normal.

Step 1: I IDENTIFY the source, let’s call it ‘feeling taken advantage of’. Say you loaned your sister a large sum of money last year and not only hasn’t she attempted to pay it back but she hasn’t even mentioned it. This experience is full of resentment.

Step 2: ACKNOWLEDGE this isn’t something that serves you, in fact it hurts you the longer you carry it around with you.

Step 3: RELEASE your attachment to this experience. This part is very important. We all have our stories that we use to justify our feelings, usually this is from a victim perspective, someone hurt us with their actions or words and we carry it with us as some part of our identity. Once we decide this isn’t to our benefit, this doesn’t help us feel empowered, positive and full of love, we can release this burden.

Remember that this is your perspective of the situation and they have theirs. Maybe they aren’t aware of how you are feeling. Maybe they thought it was a gift or a loan that didn’t have definitive terms. Try to soften your perspective and it is easier to release.

Step 4: CLEAR or HEAL the negative energy- There are 2 ways I do this depending on how I’m feeling. 1) CLEAR – I imagine it’s turned to ash and floats away or HEAL – I infuse it with love until it changes into something positive and beneficial. I tend to do more of the second nowadays but both feel great!

Keep in mind, just like cleaning your home, this is an ongoing process. Also, don’t be surprised if you clear something from 3 days ago and it comes up again. This usually indicates that the root issue is still there from before. We tend to repeat patterns from our childhood.

The tension from not getting that promotion from work could be stemming from not getting that ice cream. So keep clearing and healing until you feel better.

Let me know in the comments if you have tried this and what your results were. We all learn from each other!

UNTIL NEXT TIME – LOVE AND BLESSINGS!
