YOU are the creator!
You are the creator of your life. In the spiritual realm, and of course in our human experience, it’s very easy to pass the buck or blame other people for how we feel. By blaming our parents, external circumstances, our partner, the weather, or literally anything or anyone else, we abdicate responsibility. It’s someone else’s fault for making us feel a certain way.
Sliding into victim mode
This way of thinking will fast track you straight into victim mode. When in victim mode, we have an ‘external locus of control’. This means we give our power away to someone or something outside of our control. For example, someone said I’m fat, so I go home and cry, change my diet, worry about what other people think, etc. Someone else’s words or opinions are now affecting my internal state; my internal mindset, thoughts and feelings.
Giving your power away
This is problematic. When we give our power away, we then feel, think and act ‘powerless’. This lowers our vibration, and in turn creates more negative thinking, and a barrage of low vibrational emotions. This activates our physiological stress response, which negatively affects our physical body too. When we’re in a low vibrational state, that is the frequency of energy we exude to the world around us. This either brings other people down too, or pushes people away. We then feel isolated, lonely, unloveable, not accepted, anxious and depressed. Once in this state, it can be very hard to pull ourselves out of it.
Reclaim your power
To shift this energy requires a big change in mindset. By moving from giving your power away, to taking full responsibility for everything you experience in life, you then start to reclaim your power again. There are absolutely things that are not your fault, however fault and taking responsibility are not the same. You might have been raised in an unsafe environment, which is of course not your fault. However, by continuing to blame your parents, your crappy childhood, the school bully, or something else, you will continue to allow those people to have control over you.
The power is in the present moment
It is much more powerful to release blame, stop focusing on the problem, and instead focus on the solution. Take back your power by knowing that YOU are the creator of your experience in this present moment! Spending time being stuck in the past, or worrying about the future, is depleting your energy unnecessarily. Instead, take a deep breath, firmly plant your feet into the ground, and be here in this moment, now. From this present moment, you can start to change your thoughts, shift your emotions, and create a different energy in your body.
Making change requires determination and grit
Taking control of your life isn’t always easy, especially if your learnt behaviour is to blame, judge or criticize. However, like any change, it might take some elbow grease, some digging deep into your psyche, as well as grit, determination and resolve to shift old patterns of thinking and behaving. You might like to enlist the help of a therapist, Reiki healer, or mindset coach to support you! Reiki healing sessions can especially help you clear your mind, shift stuck energy, and release negative spiritual influences that may be unknowingly affecting you.
Protect your energy
Sometimes I hear people blaming negative spirits for how they feel. Yes, low vibrational energies and spiritual influences can absolutely affect you! However, they are attracted to low vibrations, thoughts and emotions. Keeping watch over your internal state (which is in your control) is key to protecting your energy. In addition, we often create negative psychic energy in our own mind through negative looping thought patterns. This attracts other negative energy to us. If you raise your vibration, meditate to clear your mind, and empower yourself energetically, you will not be so susceptible to these negative energies. If you do feel stuck however, book in a Reiki healing treatment for support in clearing your energy!
Empower yourself, learn Reiki!
I’m a big believer in empowering yourself. Personally I’ve found doing a lot of personal development work on my mindset has been incredibly helpful. If you are stuck in negative thought patterns, book in for a Reiki + Coaching session to gain tools and insights in releasing limiting beliefs. If you are sensitive to energy and emotions, book in for a Reiki healing session. Or even better, book in for a Reiki Course in Melbourne! Learning Reiki or doing your Reiki training is an amazing way to learn how to Reiki yourself, clear your own energy, and learn how to meditate.
You are the creator of your life
When we move out of victim mode into a self empowered state, we have an ‘internal locus of control’. By taking back our power we are more in control of our decisions, and our life. By releasing limiting thoughts holding us back, we also release emotions that are not serving us, and let go of blame. An internal locus of control means that we are in charge of our internal thoughts and feelings. We don’t take the thoughts, opinions and judgements of others personally. Rather, we understand and know that everyone is simply projecting their own thoughts and feelings onto everyone else.
