Being Metaphysical: How to Access Your Inner Power
By Michaiel
The study of metaphysics is perhaps the most worthwhile pursuit you can explore in order to empower yourself to change, heal and grow. Many who are involved in metaphysics never stop to define its meaning. Metaphysical simply means “beyond the physical” and the metaphysician is a person who studies non physical realities. They understand that the physical is a reflection of the metaphysical. The irony is that everyone is metaphysical, but many do not understand that this is the key to their personal empowerment.
The first challenge of every metaphysician is to “know thyself”. It is easy to know yourself according to what your physical reality reveals- your gender, education, family background, race, job title, etc. This is such a small aspect of who you are. It is but a snowflake on the tip of the iceberg. Your physical reality and everything you experience in life is an expression and reflection of your inner reality. The way to know yourself metaphysically is by exploring your beliefs, attitudes, thoughts and feelings and being conscious of your choices and decisions that make up who you are on the inside.
If you desire to change anything in your life permanently you must change your beliefs.
It is your beliefs that give birth to your attitude, thoughts, feelings and ultimately your choices and decisions that lead to the consequences of your life. This is the foundation of personal reality creation and the law of attraction.
The second challenge is to understand that you create your own reality. What does that age-old saying really mean? Many want to believe that we only create our “attitude” about the physical world, but not the actual experiences and events. It is true you do create your attitude but it is your beliefs that attract your experiences. Everyday of our lives we are creating our reality, we do it so automatically that it almost feels as if it is happening to us.
When a negative reality is experienced, the wise individual takes the time to self-reflect and ask the question, “What is it within me that is attracting and/or creating this negative experience?” It always boils down to your beliefs. The power of belief is so profound that if you chose to believe you don’t create your own reality, you will create your life to reflect that experience, the life of a victim. For all intents and purposes your life will appear as if you have no control over it. That is the power of personal belief.
The structure of personal belief emerges out of your past. Some beliefs are rooted in past life experiences while most are formed in your childhood. This creates your foundation of beliefs that as a child you either accept or rebel against. As you grow and become empowered, you can consciously choose to change your beliefs to fit more of the life you desire to create. This is what empowerment is all about. If you approach your life from this metaphysical challenge you will have the power to change anything you desire.
To begin this process look at any area of your life that you might feel dissatisfied. Stand back and look at it without judgment. Ask yourself, “What would a person have to believe, in order to attract and create these experiences?” Brainstorm and write them down. Come up with all kinds of possibilities, some will be wrong, but when you hit the right one you will feel it inside of you. A kind of ah-ha feeling will surface. Look to your relationship with whatever it is you desire to change.
For example, what do you believe about relationships? What is your current experience of relationships in your life? Are they difficult for you? Your current experience can reveal your belief system about relationships. Change your belief and your experiences have to follow.
How to Change Your Beliefs.
First: Identify the area of your life you desire change. Health, relationships, career, money and focus on changing only one area at a time. Next, write down as I mentioned above the beliefs you hold around these areas of your life.
Secondly: Rewrite the new belief the way you want to experience the change. For instance, if you discover a belief, “love is painful” (Due to your past experience around love.) Decide what you want your new experience of love to be? Perhaps “Love is pleasurable.” becomes the new belief you desire to experience in your life.
Thirdly: Affirm the new belief throughout your day for at least 21 days. This will reprogram your subconscious mind. Repeat your new belief over and over “affirmation style” as you go about your daily activities. Write your new belief down onto a post it and display it on your computer screen, your bathroom mirror and the dashboard of your car.
Your subconscious mind will continually reinforce this new belief on a deep level. Bombard yourself with this new message. As you go to sleep at night imagine what the new reality you desire will look and feel like in your imagination. Begin to envision and dream it in your mind. Imagine yourself living your life from this new belief, “love is pleasurable”. The more intense you desire and feel it, the faster you will manifest it into your physical reality.
Warning: at first this will feel fake, because you are creating a contradiction to your past experiences and your ego that wants to say, “yeah, but… it’s not true!” But in order for it to become your truth, you must cultivate and allow this new belief to grow in your subconscious mind. Decide you will live your life with love as a pleasurable experience. Generate the feeling. You are changing your metaphysical reality and in time you will attract and create the physical experiences that reflect this belief. How do you know when your belief has changed? Your life will show you by creating loving experiences that bring you great pleasure.
