As we sat in meditation today, I was reminded of a question that David Ault asked us during a class at Spiritual Living Center of Atlanta several years ago. And I’m paraphrasing here. “When you’re in that place, that funk, when the brain is spinning out of control and there doesn’t seem to be a way out, what’s your self talk, your mantra, your phrase, that can shift you out of it?”
Immediately, I heard
“I am Love. I am Loved. I am Loving. I am Lovable.”
I also remember the feelings I felt the first time I said that to myself. I was overwhelmed with feelings that I was not loved and lovable. I remember feeling judged and not good enough. I remember all the childhood indoctrinations that were contradicting this.
And I kept breathing. I kept repeating. I kept breathing. I kept repeating. And those misaligned beliefs, and the stories that were attached to them, started to weaken their grip on my mind and my feelings of helplessness.
I kept breathing. I kept repeating.
And I’m hearing more and more the phrase . . .
I Am Love.
I Am Loved.
I Am Loving.
I Am Lovable.
These are getting more deeply imbedded into my psyche, into the cells of my body, but they aren’t there completely . . . yet. The more I focus on what I do want to feel and experience in my life, I allow space for those misaligned beliefs and feelings to emerge, if they are ready to be released. Then I keep breathing deeply, so I can feel them, in my body, bless them for how they have served me, thank them . . . and I let them go. I let the go into the light of pure awareness to be recycled in more Love, Peace and Joy. I come back to focusing on my preferred experiences. And then I put my awareness on the synchronicities that are already present in my life, aligning with those preferred experieneces.
Gratitude.
Compassion.
Self Compassion that extends to a deeper level of compassion for others.
