Healing Destructive Paradigms

What are paradigms? Essentially they are a set of belief systems made up of many different thoughts that affect our lives in all areas, be it consciously or unconsciously. Paradigms govern out ultimate experiences. James Ray’s definition of a paradigm is: “the sum total of our beliefs, values, identity, expectations, attitudes, habits, decisions, opinions and thought patterns – about ourselves, others and how life works …the filter through which we interpret what we see and experience.” For the most part, these belief systems often remain hidden from the awareness of our conscious mind. Still, it is possible, and absolutely essential, to dig deep into the recesses of the sub-conscious mind and bring to light those paradigms in need of transforming.

It is not uncommon for our paradigms to root themselves deep within our cellular memory, beginning from when we are born. Depending on how we were raised by our parents and the influences that teachers, relatives, coaches, etc. had on our development, we will have adopted paradigms that are empowering or very limiting, and usually a combination of the two. Ultimately what we are seeking here is to determine which of the paradigms ring true for us and empower us to wholeness and to let the rest go.

A worthwhile exercise for accomplishing this would be to take an honest look at what you have created thus far in your life. Where are you now? Where do you want to be? Are you doing or being all that you desire? If not, ask yourself “What would I have to believe about myself, about life, in order to do this?” And then write that belief down in a positive, believable, and detailed statement. For example, if your desire is to quit your regular job in favour of a business idea and opportunity you could say “My success and my wealth are unlimited and I am eternally supported by the Universe in all that I desire to be and become.” As you repeat this over and over you will invariably notice the voice of your inner critic get louder with “Yeah, but…” responses. Be diligent in writing these responses down on paper while continuing to affirm your new belief. When you feel that you have released all of the older paradigms, create a ritual for burning them and releasing them back to the universe for transmutation. You could also see them in a balloon that is rising up to the hands of God where again, they are taken to the higher forces for transmutation.

I believe that with focused determination and commitment that we have the power and the ability to transform the most destructive of paradigms. The beautiful result is that we start believing ourselves into the whole, creative, loving and magnificent women that we essentially are. At our core, we are perfect. We just need to wade through the pond of mass consciousness and let go of anything and everything that we thought or valued that actually held us back from being all that we are destined to be. And I wish you a very successful and beautiful journey to this amazing state of inner strength and wholeness.
