Can You Really Change Your Reality?
Have you imagined what your life would be like if your work was fulfilling, like you can hardly believe you are getting paid for this work?
Have you even considered what your life would be like if money was no longer a concern? What about the idea of being able to experience a healthy relationship?
People will daydream about living an incredible life, but most don’t go beyond the dream part.
But maybe you’re different. You think that yours could truly be an incredible life. Maybe you just aren’t quite sure how to do it but just the same you realize it is a possibility. Still, just having this belief in the core of your being makes you stand out from the average.
Let’s say you work in a job that makes you pretty good money but you cannot get rid of the nagging feeling that there must be more to life than this. And…you find yourself increasingly obsessed with this idea. You then are a person who could actually experience this.
The question is: How do I get from where I am to a place that must exist if I could just get there!?
99% of books, movies and blog posts will tell you what you want to hear. Have you seen the movie “The Secret?” Most of the books, gurus and programs out there paint a rosy picture of how easy it is to get what you want. Just imagine what you want and like ordering from a catalogue, the universe will bring it to you. It seems if you meditate enough about money, one day a huge bag of money will fall into your lap.
While this information is fun to play with I have unfortunately observed many people becoming disillusioned and falling back into feeling powerless to change their lives for the better. These books, gurus and programs are only giving you a fraction of how it works and that is a shame because you really can make solid changes for an incredible life!
I will be honest with you here. If you are truly ready to live a life of joy, financial abundance, fulfilling work, great relationships and inner peace, first you must become aware of what is blocking you from it. This is the price of admission.
We may think on a basic conscious level that we want a fulfilling life but if we look a bit deeper, there are things in the way. Why not quit that job you hate and build your dream business? What is keeping you in that toxic relationship? Is it always going to be a struggle to eat healthy and exercise?
Part of us is invested in keeping ourselves and our lives the same even if it’s very unpleasant reality.
This part of us has a strong hold over us, trying to change without recognizing this part can be maddeningly frustrating! But yes, there is also a part of us that truly want to create a new life! When 51% of want out of the old and into the new, we will move forward no matter how scary it all starts to look as we embark on the journey.
The uncomfortable life we are in is a result of our stagnation inside.
In Chinese Medicine it is said, stagnation is the cause of all problems. When we desire change strongly enough, our experience gets intense. This intensity can feel chaotic and messy. You have to expect this! Lots of healthy energy inside us that had been stuck under lock and key is beginning to be freed up. Before things settle down again we have let go of the old and then re-define and re-organize who we are. This process while overwhelming is also invigorating!
I have found in my years of practice in Frisco, Colorado that most health problems are a result of a problem that goes deeper than just simple energy stagnation in the symptomatic area. Sure acupuncture can relieve pain and chronic health problems but in many cases I have found unless deeper issues are addressed, the problem will come back.
Here is an example: Liz was dealing with chronic anxiety that had been getting much worse lately. Of course acupuncture was very helpful to allow her to feel more relaxed and able to function. But, with further discussion it turned out Liz felt she couldn’t trust herself. She had great difficulty making decisions and doubted herself. This was a big contributor to the anxiety.
In addition to acupuncture I coached her on how to make solid change in her life. Liz was very motivated as she couldn’t stand living this way anymore. I inspired her to work with her situation in a new way and gave her easy tools to use between sessions. To me it is amazing to witness who she is becoming. Through positive inspiration and support she has made changes that previously seemed impossible to her. Her anxiety is gradually lessening (without medications), she is learning to trust herself and the money problems that accompanied this are improving.
If you are asking yourself, “How can I change?” Ask yourself, “Are you are ready to let the part of you that clings to what is known die?” Our lives are so full of what we ‘know’ that our cup is literally overflowing with no room for anything new to happen.
In order to let go of the old to allow in the new, we must be open and willing.
In my work, have found that it is someone who really wants ‘it’ that is truly open and willing. These are the people that rapidly transform their lives and their lives seem to move into the realm of miraculous.
I hope you are one of them. The world needs more people like this for whenever we remake ourselves and our lives others around us see what is possible for them! Frisco Acupuncture goes beyond typical acupuncture treatment; you also have the opportunity to be skillfully coached and inspired to change your reality to something you can truly feel good about!
