BLOCKAGES

  the baggage of the past​

Picture

The voice we hear that speaks of guilt, scarcity, 
​
​unworthiness and regret is not Truth.

 It is the result of old dark energies that plague us.

​



What do I mean by a blockage?     

A buildup of stagnant energies that obstructs the natural flow of Life.                  
​
How do we get these blockages?      

​
By generating low frequency energies when we experience lower realm perceptions. 
Picture



​T
houghts that are believed
are called beliefs or perceptions.   

If we don't believe a thought,
then it's just an idea...  

Our beliefs/perceptions
are the foundations
for our life experiences. ​
​Beliefs that are aligned with Truth
 manifest as 
Upper Realm experiences and energies
(Light)
Beliefs that are aligned with fear
manifest as 
lower realm experiences & energies


​(darkness)​

​Useless replays of the past

and

useless worry over the future
​
create holes

that deplete us

of vital energy.

The energies/emotions that are created during lower realm experiences can be held on to and accumulate in our energetic body.    These bottled up emotions become energetic blockages.
Examples of lower realm energies:

​worry
shame
anxiety
anger
resentment

​
​​These blockages seem to plague us.     We can have a sense that they are foreign in nature.     Like something has invaded our body.     They seem to have a life of their own. ​
Picture

​Our body has energy centers that are called chakras.     A lower realm choice that correlates with a particular chakra will generate energies that get stored in the energy body in that particular area.     For example, if a person makes choices that are contrary to their personal truth, that is an aspect of free will, which is the energy center of  the fifth chakra (the throat chakra).     From repeated lower realm choices regarding expressing personal truth, one may experience a build up of energies in the throat or shoulder area over time. 
 


These lower realm energies may accumulate until they are a blockage.       These blockages need to feed on the level of energies that created them in order to be sustained. ​

​I accept the discomfort

of going without 

what comforts me

to force myself 
​
​to break free.

Live Beautifully:  A Book to Sit With

Blockages seem to have cyclical feeding patterns.     They flare up when they get ‘hungry.’     A person with a flaring blockage may experience:

Repetitive thought patterns

Desires for lower realm emotional exchanges

Craving low vibrational frequency food, drink, drugs & atmospheres

Desire for witnessing drama (a lower realm  emotional episode) from tv, the internet, video games, etc.  (one's pain body gets fed without actually having to live the circumstances).  






​I accept that the old residual pain that I carry

creates fearful thinking

that attempts to disconnect me
​
from Awareness...



Picture

Reflections on the antidote for pain... p. 47
Live Beautifully:  A Book to Sit With

Picture
After a feeding episode the blockage will settle down and life returns to normal until it flares up when it gets hungry again.  When this happens we don't 'feel like ourself.'  Or we feel like something has 'come over us.'  
 
In addition to cyclical feeding patterns, these blockages will also flare from new levels of healthy choices. 
​
When we make ‘improvements’ to our life in mind, body or spirit our blockages will naturally get ‘yitsy.’     They will struggle to survive in the midst of the new higher vibrational frequencies brought on by the new choices.

​Things are happening

that look like losses,

but that may just be
​
my limited perspective.

Live Beautifully:  A Book to Sit With

 The Journey of Transformation doesn't follow a path that feels like a consistent increase in 'success.'    Instead the Journey seems like highs and lows, successes and failures.   I believe the setbacks, lows or perceived failures are actually gateways of opportunity to see with new awareness the possibilitiy for the  transformative process of clearing up what no longer serves us.   I call it 'experiencing the contrast.'

OPTIONS FOR EMBARKING ON THE JOURNEY

​Practice Awareness by reading one of the following reflections in Live Beautifully:  A Book to Sit With and then doing some Journaling for Awareness.   Do just a little each day and see what comes.  The prolonged state of Awareness weakens and eventually eliminates blockages.

QUOTES

​When I am trying to shift into a new way of thinking I sometimes write a quote down and keep it around until it settles into a knowing. 
Live Beautifully: A Book to Sit With Quotes


INTENTIONS

When thoughts become our beliefs, they are the foundation of our life experiences.  So the Live Beautifully Intentions are tools for consciously choosing one's future.  I suggest reading through the intentions and determining for yourself which you choose to affirm.  Then go back to the top and read through the intentions that you chose slowly and deliberatly.    Be aware that before you can manifest the intention, you will have to go through the process of upheaval.   Affirming an intention is not enough for it to become a life experience.  Intention brings about opportunites for transformation of mind, body & spirit to bring you into full congruency, and therefore receptivity, of the life experience.   


JOURNALING FOR TRANSFORMATION

The Journaling for Transformation process is a tool for consciously choosing thought and thus consciously directing one's evolution.   It is a tool for overcoming old patterns of thought and belief.


A sample of Journaling for Transformation:

I see that I have blockages...

I accept  that there are places within me where energies are blocked from flowing and functioning naturally...
      

I relinquish  fears of opening up old pain...       

I dream of  being aware of the blockages created by accumulations of dark energies...     

With peace and love I intend to  be gentle and compassionate as I accept the Light that dissipates the darkness;  Awareness followed by Compassion instead of Awareness followed by judgment...    
​ 

I am grateful  
for the healing afffects of Light, I am.
