By Carol Tuttle Master Emotional Release Therapist and the author of the best-selling book, Remembering Wholeness: A Personal Handbook for Thriving in the 21st Century. 1. You are holding on to old emotional baggage. Most of the emotion you feel in a day is not even about today. You are just recycling old emotional baggage that has never been cleared. It is so familiar, it has become a part of your self-identity, but you know it is not a part of your true identity because it causes you discomfort. Release this old emotional energy with this simple technique:Make your hand into a fist.Rub your fist in a circular motion on the middle of your chest (your heart chakra) and repeat the following: "It is safe to get over this problem and it is time to let go of these feelings." Repeat this five to six times as you rub the center of your chest. 2. You keep focusing on what you don't want. Your mind is in the habit of "figuring out" what you need to change to make your life better. Your thinking mind is convinced that that is how the problem will be solved; yet, that is what keeps the problem constant and present in your life. The law of attraction has no exclusion.The law is that whatever you focus on, you create more of.Stop your thinking mind from its obsessive habit of looking at your life's problems by placing an eye patch over your right eye for 15 minutes a day or during spells of obsessive thinking. When you patch an open eye, you quiet the brain hemisphere that eye is connected to. In this case you will quiet your left brain and break up the flow of energy so new vibrant energy can form in your experience to attract to you insights, answers, and resources to your problem. 3. You have bought into the collective belief that you can barely survive and are just getting by. The world offers us one reality to believe in. Within that reality we have the agency and right to choose to go along with it or create our own reality. The world currently believes that "times are hard," "times are scary," "terrorists could attack at any moment," "the economy is bad," etc., etc., etc. Even though the world reality is choosing this, you can choose an alte ative reality. We are only bound by belief. Choose the following beliefs to create a reality to help you thrive: "Times are good for me and my family." "I am prepared and I choose to live in the moment and focus on how safe my immediate world is;" "I am grateful to know that God is watching over me and the entire world to assist us in choosing a peaceful solution to our differences;" "I am grateful that my business is flourishing and I have more than enough money for my needs." The greatest power you have to change the world's reality is to change yours. Stay free of condemning or judging the collective belief. Choose to bless it and allow it. If you condemn it or judge it, you create a stronger force of opposition and polarity that makes that reality more powerful. It just is.
