Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will recreate my past."

 

 

Did you know that you can recreate your past?  Well, yes, you can. 

 

Recreating the past is a healing exercise used for reprogramming the memories related to trauma or chronic conditions.    Let me explain.  If you have undergone a trauma (any event which causes long term emotional duress), and this trauma has negatively impacted the way you perceive yourself or live your life, it is possible through meditation and creative visualization, and severe cases, some past life work, and a good healer, to alter the memory so that it creates a positive image which then becomes the reality.

 

A simple example: 

 

In the fifth grade, let's say, you were humiliated in front of your peers by an insensitive teacher.  This humiliating experience crippled your delicate fifth grade self, caused you anxiety, made you afraid to go to school, caused you to become self conscious, and made you believe that you were unworthy or that you were stupid. As a result, your entire future was negatively impacted.  And now, (not that it hasn't been a problem) you have decided that you can no longer allow it to hold you back from further progress.  You want to heal yourself and let go of all of the negativity that it caused.

 

Here is a good way to start the healing process:

 

Sit quietly and begin breathing--in through the nose and out through the mouth--this is the meditative breath.  Get yourself into a comfortable and relaxed meditative state.  Center and ground yourself.  Ask Universe to provide divine help in this healing process.

 

Then, recall the day of the event.  It is NOT necessary to feel the feelings or relive the experience.  You are just observing.  Visualize the environment in which you were, the people you were with. 

 

Now, bring your mind to the moments before the event.  Visualize a different outcome.  Visualize the events proceeding with different actions.

 

For example:

 

The teacher calls you to the board in front of the class.  You begin to do the work, the answer you write on the board is correct.  As you stand in front of the board, the teacher smiles at you, tells you the answer is correct, and praises you for your work.  You smile back, filled with pride.  You thank the teacher and the teacher responds positively.  You walk back to your seat beaming with pride and accomplishment. 

 

This is now the new event.  Replay this event in your mind until it firmly replaces the original event.  As the new memory replaces the old, it becomes the new reality and the old memory ceases to hold sway over your life.  The more you focus on the recreated event, the recreated event manifests as your new reality.

 

I am not saying that change what happened to you, what I am saying is that you can change the way you remember the event in order to create healing and move beyond the place where you became incapacitated by your experience.

 

If you choose this process a tool for your emotional healing, then begin by a lesser event.  Use it as practice.  If you have experienced a major trauma:  abuse, incest, etc., I advise you to seek out those professionals and healers to help you through the process.
