Conscious Change
November 29th, 2009Pause a moment from whatever you are doing.…Be with this moment…Take a slow, deep breath and breathe into your belly… As you read these words notice your breathing…Notice your body…. What are you thinking ?… How are you feeling?… Is there any tension in your body?… If so, where ?… Take a moment to breathe into that tension…Relax… Let it go…Just Be.
You are constantly changing. Until more recently inner change occurred without much conscious awareness. Now many people are awakening and with this comes a new POWER, the power to change consciously, with your intention.
No longer do you have to believe that you are a victim. As you learn how to co-create with Spirit, you will become more attuned to the laws of nature and the universe. This knowledge will help you navigate through life more skillfully even in times of change and turmoil.
There are many tools to help you make positive changes. Being mindful as in the opening relaxation is one of them. The following are four more of my favorites.
Learn How to Manage Your Energy
Are you highly sensitive? Do you feel what others feel? In today’s world your life gets bombarded with a myriad of outside stimuli, from toxins in the air to the daily stresses of life. Learn what your body and spirit need by finding ways to nurture your inner self. This means recognizing when your energy system has become overloaded or depleted then taking time to relax and rejuvenate. There are different ways you can do this such as scheduling regular massages, taking healing baths, meditating, practicing yoga and going on retreats. Taking time to recharge your energy will prove to be an efficient tool to help you maintain health and wellness while in the midst of inner changes.
Transform Negative Self-Talk
Become aware of self-doubt, self-judgment and other types of negative thinking that erode your self-esteem and keep you from actualizing your potential. Your thoughts exert a powerful influence on your well being. Consistent negative thinking dampens your spirit and keeps you from manifesting your heart’s desire. It has also proven to lower your immune system thus contributing to health problems.
Learn to balance negative thinking with self-acknowledgment. If you catch yourself entertaining negative thoughts, simply acknowledge the awareness then replace with a positive affirmation.
Over time you will find that your negative self-talk diminishes resulting in increased self-esteem, improved health and a better outlook on life. All will ease the process of change.
Add Light to a Situation
You can transform a situation by adding light to it. Light accelerates your growth and attracts your higher good. If you are not sure what you want or how to solve a problem create a symbol for it. Then surround your symbol with a ball of white light. Imagine the light illuminating your symbol and smoothing out any rough edges. Adding light in this way will bring clarity and ease the process of change.
Adopt an Attitude of Gratitude
Finally, be grateful for every beneficial change no matter how small. You can even begin by appreciating all that you have right now. Expressing gratitude promotes awareness, increases your connection to Source and expands your ability to receive from the Universe. It is one of the best ways to bring more good into your life.
Try incorporating these tools into your daily life. Change, even conscious change, often happens subtly over time. You will need to have patience and perseverance. However, the rewards are great.
Do you have any of your own methods? Feel free to post your comments here.

Lovely post, Susan! I especially appreciated the reminder at the beginning to take a deep breath and find center.

I love the tools you offer. Into these, I weave EFT, Ho’oponopono, journaling, meditation, visualization, affirmations, and now NPA (Non-Personal Awareness as taught by Joel Young @TruthsCompany). All are great resources for the conscious person choosing.
For those who are business owners, who want to be more conscious, I facilitate Quantum MasterMind for Solopreneurs to teach/remind how to incorporate all these tools into the business experience~and create conscious change.
Thanks again for this great post!
Many blessings,
Nancy
Love the idea of adding light to any situation! Exposure is so important!
Thanks for your comments, Nancy. Always appreciated.
Yes, definitely EFT and the others you listed are great resources as well. I am very much looking forward to learning about NPA (Non-Personal Awareness as taught by Joel Young @TruthsCompany)and look forward to hearing your interview with him this Saturday, December 5th on Co-Creation Cafe.

Hello Bridget,
Nice to meet you and thank you for posting on my blog. Yes, I LOVE creating with Light. It’s quite effective and wonderful.

Susan,
This is a wonderful post that speaks deeply to my heart. One thing that touched me was asking if we the readers are highly sensitive.
Yes I found this out last year, I very highly sensitive to others emotions and their energy, I can pick up on others emotions just reading a short e-message from them.
With this kind of sensitivity I have to unload that by centering myself. Mediation works well for this, I do a couple of different kinds of mediation. I will picture myself in the situation and picture a good outcome for all involved in it. Or I will picture myself surrounded by the light of love or just love, I use the thought of sunlight.
I will also sit down comfortably and imagine that I have roots or some core attached to my feet that go down to the earths core. I image that the earths life force traveling up that core and going into me and cleaning all the negatives. The last one is one that David and Kristin Morelli of Everything Is Energy teach.
A couple of other things are gratitude as you mentioned above and having fun and laughing! Both are a great big help and release of stresses and help with conscious change.
I, like Bridget, like the idea of surrounding things with light, it is like what I have done and it is a great reminder to do so again.
Thank you Susan for this wonderful post.

Hi Galena,
Always a joy to connect with you.
I am also highly sensitive and can feel other people’s energy and emotions. I am so glad to hear about the meditations that you do and especially that you do a grounding exercise where you imagine that you have roots. I find that grounding is imperative for sensitive people. It helps us to feel connected, present in our bodies and is a form of protection. I do this before I meet with a client or student as well as surround myself in a bubble of white light.
I also love that you picture yourself in a situation and visualize a good outcome. It’s what Abraham-Hicks calls pre-paving and I find it works very well.
Thank you for your contribution on this topic.
Blessings,
Susan
Yes, so true, so true! Especially the whole negative thing! I’ve been working on that for years, lol. I think I’m finally at a good place with that part.
Hi Sheila,
Yes working on transforming negative self-talk is probably a lifetime process. Fortunately it does get easier. Even Louise Hay still works on her thinking. According to a CD of hers she says she thinks positively about 85% of the time now.
Thanks for stopping by.
All the best,
Susan
