Negative Thoughts That Keep You Stuck
Many people are feeling stuck and unhappy because they’re trying to control or avoid negative thoughts they’re having about themselves and the world around them.
The object of this mind exercise is to clear basic misconceptions about our negative thoughts and how “real” we think they are.
You know the kind of thoughts we’re talking about – the ones that keep running through our minds again and again until we think we’re going to go batty! Or the kind that we just want to push away. The more we fight them or stuff them, the stronger they become until they start running our lives.
The truth is, thoughts are only concepts and have no power unless we give it to them. So, in the simplest terms, whenever we try to fight, control or sweep negative thoughts under the carpet, we are actually causing ourselves more suffering.
An example would be when you’re struggling with an event or something someone said and are spending a lot of time trying to figure out why they said it. You know you shouldn’t get so upset by it! Another example would be a repetitive need to prove that whatever happened was wrong.
The compulsion to repeat negative thoughts fosters a negative karmic loop
By rerunning the conflict over and over in our minds, we feed a karmic feedback loop and continue to suffer as if that memory is still existing now in the present. Perhaps it helps us to feel justified in our position, even though simply letting it go would give our minds more room to focus on other things. Things we would prefer to have happen which would actually support us in being happier.
By giving a memory or a thought that amount of power, we actually limit ourselves and stay locked into the past. Our decisions and projections become fixated and immovable. This preoccupation with how real we think our thoughts are actually causes us to miss opportunities to be present and happy. Life energy or chi’ gets diverted and used to feed negativity, rather than our true potential.
Focus your thoughts on what makes you happy ~
When you can change your focus, your mind has the room integrate any positive changes that have taken place and decide what you like about them and what you want to continue or discontinue. In essence, you are creating an opening for happiness.
Of course, you will still need to take action on those new thoughts! However, when you continually think negative thoughts about what you’re unhappy or dissatisfied with, you’re mentally digging yourself into a deeper and deeper karmic hole of dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
If it feels like something like this is going on in your mind, you might like to try playing a simple Mind Exercise using the Intuitive Learning Circles to help you loosen the grip of painful, repetitive thoughts. By letting go on a DNA level, you heal family patterns of suffering that have prevented you from using your energy to fuel happiness and better health.
Gently gaze at each Circle, one at a time and consider the question or affirmation that goes with it. The process helps you to become aware of what kind of thinking is bothering you and make a different choice about it by relaxing and letting go.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Step 1:
Give yourself permission to relax with #49 Old Sol for a minute or so and get some help from your Higher Self with a negative thought that’s just taking up too much space in your mind.
“I ask for distance from this negative thought, experience or memory.”
Notice how easy it is to “rerun” this thought process over and over again and how it never really takes you anywhere positive or productive.
Please note: If you have a copy of Gifts from the Rainforest, you may want to gather up more specific information about what you’re going through. If that’s the case, you may ask Old Sol for a number between 1 and 58.
Whatever number comes to you, go to that Circle in the book. Read the information and contemplate the Circle to help your subconscious mind gather up pertinent information.
Then, come back here and continue this Mind Exercise.
Step 2:
It may be that your mind has become blocked by a fixation. Luckily, Condor Medicine can help you release the feedback loop and take a gentler approach to what’s bothering you. Take several relaxing breaths while gazing softly at the Circle. Imagine all the lines softening or melting. Use deep relaxing breaths to help you.
“I imagine that the block is loosening and the thoughts in it are moving around differently.”
Once the thoughts start moving, you may notice a whole constellation of related thoughts and feelings about yourself or others in the background. Take several more minutes and let them start moving differently too.
Continue breathing and softening until the negative energy has stopped.
Since your chakras are wheels of light that facilitate the inward and outward movement of energy that rides on vibration, they are literally part of how our bodies “breathe.” Every organ, gland or joint has a constellation of chakras that brings the vibration of life into that area and releases toxins. That includes toxic thoughts that might be hanging out in your aura or the environment around you. When the motion of a chakra is stuck or withheld, you’ll know because your breathing will stop or become shallow.
To remedy this, meditate on this Soul Prayer Chart for Oxygen. Breathe deeply and imagine that the space around you is actually relaxing and softening.
“I allow all affected chakras to resonate once again with the breath of life.”
If you notice specific chakras that need extra help, you can utilize Reiki Chakra Keys or Essential Chakra Keys to help release the stickiness.
You are now in a position to be more objective as you continue to Step 3 of the exercise.
Step 3:
Use these affirmations with the Circles below to change the energy in your mind by pulling your energy away from that negative “head space.”
As long as we agree with negative and repetitive thoughts, we can’t be open to new visions of who we have the potential to be. See if Raccoon Medicine and these affirmations will help you to free up your mind:
“I release any agreement to buy into or maintain negative thoughts
that block my happiness.”
“I release any agreement that thoughts define who I am or what I can do.”
“I let go of harmful agreements with anyone involved with these thoughts.”
“I let go of any agreements I have to be controlled by or attached to others.”
“My new agreements are to live in the present and love who I truly am.”
“I reclaim my power and free will. I protect myself.”
“I look for, find and utilize productive, workable solutions that nourish me.”
“I am a kind and powerful person who _____________.”
Affirm your autonomy with Wasp Medicine:
“I pull my energy back from harmful memories or experiences so that I can be more objective and learn from them.”
Now that your energy can move more freely, use Butterfly Medicine to continue relaxing your body while you affirm:
“I tap into helpful, life affirming energy to nourish my mind and thinking processes.”
“I am filling myself and my space with life affirming thoughts and energy.”
“I acknowledge the thoughts and energies that are helpful and utilize them to benefit me.”
Use this symbol for Divine Protection to close down old and unhealthy channels of energy that have been carrying negative thoughts to you.
“I close down old energy channels that are still open to the chaos and negativity of the old paradigm.”
Stay with it until you feel centered and protected with beneficial energy flowing through you.
Once you’ve got that, you’re ready to access life affirming channels of communication that come to us through the Element of Air. To help you, visualize all the lines coming together into the center wheel of this symbol.
Do that both crossed and uncrossed until it feels complete.
Step 4:
Connect and empower your ability to follow through by relaxing into this Soul Prayer Chart for Divine Connection.
“I am empowered to manifest a positive frame of mind.
I exist and what I say and do matters.”
“I connect with the power of joy and gratitude that comes from my heart.”
Step 5:
The next few symbols are from “Divine Nature Activated” and will provide us with epigenetic healing down to our DNA. The key is to relax as much as possible while looking at each symbol. It can help to imagine an actual DNA strand relaxing, healing and filling up with light – much like this picture.
“I ask the Divine to assist my consciousness in connecting with Hope.”
Keep relaxing and repeat the process – both crossed and uncrossed.
“I’m ready and willing to sort through what’s in my highest good.”
“I let go of any compulsive need to be right or to keep the conflict going in my own mind.”
“I welcome thoughts that offer positive solutions.”
“I easily and effectively dispel falsehood and negative thoughts.”
“I ask the Divine to lead me away from conflict, towards Common Ground.”
“Divine Presence is speaking to me and I listen.”
Check to see if there are any other symbols needed from Divine Nature Activated to make appropriate corrections.
Ask for numbers between 1 – 73.
Step 6:
Notice what’s caught your attention about this exercise. It may be initially confusing. All the wheels in your mind could be going every which way! Take a minute or two to step back and objectively contemplate your situation. Let Llama’s Circle help you synchronize those wheels or pull the ones that don’t belong out completely. After you’ve cleared out the excess clutter, a question may come to you and if it does, go ahead and ask your question while looking at the Circle, like:
“What’s going on here? What kind of decisions have I been making?”
“What have I decided about myself?”
“What have I been putting out and is that really what I want to get back?”
“I let go of lies and falsehood. I stop trying to figure them out.”
“I decide to let them go and make room for positive, productive thoughts.”
“My thoughts and decisions work for me and make sense.”
“They fit with each other and my life becomes happier.”
Step 7.
Imagine that all the negative thoughts have created a huge hole in the ground that you regularly get lost in. Fly Medicine will help you deconstruct them.
“I deconstruct the holes that I habitually fall into. I stop holding space for negative habits and karma that are keeping me stuck.”
“I fill in the leftover void with positive life force and energy.”
Imagine that all the negativity in your mind is lifting up into the sky like a host of dark clouds and disappearing into the Light.
Continue looking at this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints until all clouds are completely gone.
“I dissolve all negative thoughts like a black cloud that dissipates into the Sun.”
Once you’ve done that, make sure you’ve gotten all the negative attachments. Use the symbol to collapse any underground drains or channels like old sewage pipes:
“I collapse any other negativity or attachments that might be poisoning me or draining my energy.”
Close down any harmful doors or pathways that could lead you back to those negative places or thoughts with Piranha Medicine.
Step 8:
Finish with this Soul Prayer Chart to repair any rips or tears in your aura and then refocus them.
Be sure that you spend all the time you need with it – both crossed and uncrossed. Your auras are an important part of having good health and protection!
Congratulations!
You’ve just let go of an old mental pattern that’s been sabotaging your happiness and prosperity for a long time. After you’ve rested, you may want to go through this mind exercise again around other negative thoughts or memories that are troubling you. Be sure to take good care of yourself though by drinking enough water, etc. It’s always wise to be gentle with ourselves when integrating personal growth.
