The International Schoolof Energy Medicine

I often hear people talk about or bemoan the fact they are uncreative, they are unaware that we are all creating our very lives in every moment of every day. Most of us are living as though life were happening to us rather than through us. We are not present to the fact that we are constantly generating our lives, as though they were great works of art. The tools we are given which to create, are our thoughts, beliefs, assumptions actions, decisions and words.

When we would like to create something that we do not yet possess, we stand inside of fear, rather than come from a place of possibility. Instead of owning our readiness to expand into love, we are contracted and anxious. Even the idea of moving into a consciousness of possibility can feel scary. We don’t want to be disappointed. Were afraid that if we ask for what we would like to experience, we may be denied and then we’ll feel even more deprived. We’re terrified that we’ll find out our worst fear is true – that we really are unworthy of love.

We tend to create that which we focus on. Whether that is the good, the bad or the ugly. The thing you are focused on is the thing that has the most energy surrounding it and what you will manifest into your life whether it’s a welcome addition or not.

Our lives are always in motion. As such, we will continually be asked to give up the life we have for the life we are creating. For those of us who’ve suffered traumatic losses, particularly ones that occurred in early childhood, the feeling that we associate with loss, such as sorrow, fear and frustration, can be unsettling and frightening. However it’s important to learn how to feel these feelings without needing to numb out or act in ways that are hurtful and destructive.

When you decide to improve your life, the first thing you will experience is loss. I see this all the time. You begin therapy or commit to the self-development path because you see a possibility for yourself that you would like to realise. You think that, because you’ve taken positive action, things should start to look up. Instead, very often, something strange happens. Things actually begin to get worse. That is because you have made a decision to grow yourself into a wiser, more loving version of yourself. That means that the “Old” you has to die so the “New” you can be born. The first act of creation is always destruction.

In order to live rich meaningful lives, we must learn to undergo the necessary losses of life without having to distract ourselves with drama or be rescued from the unknown. We must learn to move forward even when we are afraid, embracing the very losses that we have been trying to avoid. For that is how we will transform our disappointments, our defeats and our sad tales into something valuable – a deepening of the soul, a growing in compassion, a levelling of false pride. These are experiences that have the capacity to help us expand our ability to give and receive love.
