What's a Belief Got to Do With It?

More and more Quantum Physics is showing us how we create our own realities. In the truth of it, it's all energy and it is our beliefs that keep the table solid and the floor firm beneath us. Currently, I'm in favor of keeping those beliefs, because it's part of that belief system that I'm using to write this. And, there are lot of beliefs that I'm ready to let go of. In fact, if I have not already done so, I'd like to let them go now. Beliefs that I'm not good enough, or not worthy, or not deserving, or that if I don't work hard I'll never make it. Over and over I work with myself and my clients finding these and other beliefs circuitously embedded in the sub-conscious.  Thankfully with ThetaHealing it's easy and quick to unearth and extinguish them.

How did I get all those beliefs? They come from the world around me, from my childhood, from my family traditions. We make meaning of things in totally non-logical ways when we are children. Sometimes we inherit beliefs. Grandma knew if she didn't work hard in the garden, they'd starve in the winter, and that belief, that fear of starving if I don't work hard, somehow gets passed down to me. My Grandmother and mother grew up during the depression, so they saved and re-used everything. I still have some of that mentality that was passed down to me even though I didn't experience the great depression.

In ThetaHealing I found a way change, cancel or clear the beliefs that limit my enjoyment of life. Since I started learning Theta Healing I work on my self pretty much everyday. It's become a major theme in my life, which is why I decided to start a blog about it. Yesterday I discovered a belief that I didn't have the authority to do a blog. How did I discover it, you may ask if you are new to ThetaHealing? Actually it was my friend and pro-blogger, Charlotte who suggested that I should check it. And I used muscle testing to confirm it. (See my article on muscle testing, coming soon.) Sure nuff, when I tested it, I got a "no" on the statement "I have the authority to be a blogger." It wasn't until the next morning that I had time to sit and work with myself. Asking the Source of All that is to give me the Source's definition perspective and understanding of authority, and to show me where this came from I began to unravel a whole thread around writing. To understand this, you need a little additional background on me. I come from the Appalachian mountains and at the time I grew up, this was a whole culture of we're not as good as the rest of the world.

Whoa! I'd never really looked at it this way. Right in the middle of writing this I just discovered that I have a whole cultural belief -- I'm not as good as the rest of the world. I'm not as good as people from the Eastern part of the Virginia or from California (where I live now). That's how it is with beliefs, one has to first be aware and then be willing to stop and check. I really just wanted to write this piece, not stop and do Theta on myself. And right now I'm so grateful I discovered this. And the beauty of Theta is that I can change this belief easily and quickly. Thank you Vianna for asking for and being willing to get this wonderful knowledge to the rest of us.

Back to my point. Those of us in my high school college prep course were told that we were inferior to all the other students from the richer and more intelligent part of the state. We were consistently told that we weren't up to the levels of the rest of the state. And that we'd probably fail college English. Imagine my surprise when I began to get back A's and B's in college English. But of course the belief is stronger than outside proof, so I would set it up time and time again to fall short. I've always written things, but also thought that my writing wasn't as good as ....... whoever I was comparing myself to at the time.

Why am I writing all this? Because I want to give you a real example of where beliefs come from and how they operate in our lives. All my life I've written and loved to write, and rejected my writing and my ability to write. It is only in the last few years that I've come to know I can write, and with Theta I'm beginning to uncover the hidden beliefs that have held me back from writing. While writing this blog post, I've done a whole Theta session on myself including checking and changing some of the beliefs below. I might add that I will also work with my writer and other creative artist clients in this area as well.
