I have a problem that is challenging me at the moment which I would welcome your thoughts on…
How can I best support someone with low self esteem and a lack of self love?
In recent weeks I have met a few people who are so utterly convinced of their unloveability (if there is such a word), that all my best efforts to present a different world view have failed to even open the slightest chink in their belief.
I have a wide and diverse range of training in this matter and I have quite a number of tools in my tool belt, but I know there must be a quicker, more effective way of short circuiting the brain and planting a seed of self love that can replace the self loathing that is creating so much negativity and unhappiness.
I should confess up front that I do want to facilitate healing for absolutely everyone on the planet and I know that is possible, I do also recognise that the only person I have to heal is me and that through my healing the world is healed.
But! That doesn’t stop me wanting to open the doors of possibility to people for change in their lives.
The most powerful technique I have experienced in my own transformational journey is healing breathwork. This is a breathing process akin to rebirthing that moves energy in the body at a cellular level and releases old blocks and patterns without the person necessarily being aware of the details. It has been very significant for me, however it can also be a rather dramatic and intense experience. It is not necessarily something that I would want to do with a client too early in their journey as it may freak them out. Even as I write this I recognise that this is only a belief I hold and I could work on changing that to know that Healing Breath could be a great place to start.
I am also a great believer in the technology of prayer. I personally use the New Thought modality of affirmative prayer treatment. This is basically a five step process:
Step 1: I recognise the Divine in all things: God Is
Step 2: I unify myself with the Divine: I am
Step 3: I realise the Spiritual Truth of the situation I am praying about: This is a series of affirmations and statements declaring how the situation would be if it was all done and perfect. It’s kind of like looking at the situation through the eyes of God, who knows only perfection.
Step 4: I give thanks for everything: Gratitude is such a powerful technique any time. Here I give thanks for the perfect outpicturing of the situation and for all the good that is already manifest in my world.
Step 5: Release: I let my words go into the universal intelligence, letting go of any attachment to the outcome. This is the place where I know, at my deepest level, that what I have prayed is already done and complete in the mind of God and I allow it to manifest in the perfect time in what the Tao describes as, “the world of the 10,000 things.”
I have heard it described thus: God is; I am; here’s the thing; thanks a bunch; it is done. I guess that is the shorthand version.
The most important thing I know about prayer is that the actual words are not important in themselves. Their purpose is to create the feelings in me as I speak them and it is through my vibration that my belief about the situation is changed.
Anyhow, back to the question at hand. How can I best plant seeds of self love in my clients?
I know we are all powerful creative people, and that world energy is shifting greatly towards self-actualisation. I simply want to facilitate that transformation as quickly and painlessly as possible so lets create some new ways to do that.
Today I am open to Divine Mind in knowing best how to support every person I meet on their personal journey to self awareness. I know that I am always Divinely guided and going in the best direction and as I know that for me, I know it equally for you.
In Love. J x
