Change Beliefs 101

[powerpath6]

So here are 3 quick ways to change your limiting beliefs and convert them to empowering ones:

1.)   Read books, attend seminars, find people and places that support who you want to be; your ideal self.  In other words be clear on what you want to become and what you want to achieve and then start gathering resources and immersing yourself into these until you become that new image.
2.)   Start to watch your mind from an outside perspective.  When you notice yourself participating in that old limiting belief that you want to change, consciously and intentionally switch your attention to the new belief you want to attain.  For example, you can say to yourself "Here I am experiencing the belief 'no one will ever love me' "...and then ask yourself, "Now how can I focus on what I do want?"  Consciously and intentionally switch your thoughts to something that you want in that moment and start feeling that new belief...such as, 'I attract loving people into my life'.
3.)   Use belief boards, and be clear in what you want to achieve.  Belief boards are incredibly effective in attaining and rewiring old beliefs.   For example, if you have 10 college reports due on the same week because of procrastination you can start to change this pattern by making a belief board.  Type up a simple affirmation saying something along the lines of:   " I am extremely productive.    I get my college work done as soon as possible."       When I mean belief board, I simply mean typing these new beliefs that you want in a word document, and printing it out on paper...then taping it to a wall or tacking onto a bulletin board.  Experiment, see which ones work best, be curious and have fun with them!

These are a few simple ways to change the beliefs that don't serve you.  Of course there are other ways to do this, but these are a start.  And of course, a good way to get the best results is to start by examining what you believe like if you were interviewing yourself, and then write down your limiting beliefs and empowering beliefs to any and every area of life you want to work on.

Likewise, I'd simply say this:  stop "believing" and start experiencing. 

Personal experience trumps second hand information every time!

Personal experience is really the only way to change beliefs. Anything else is just giving in without a fight.

The two above comments are right on and I have been thinking about this exact thing lately. My thought was: "replace beliefs with experience". Beliefs are limiting for sure. Even trying to describe the really deep and profound experiences in the Astral is limiting because we have to translate them into words. Many of the experiences you can have can not really be translated because they are more "conceptual" in nature and you have to almost reduce them to put them into words. Experience is a language of it's own. Part of the problem is when we describe something in words, it has to processed by our brains which are limiting. It's necessary to get beyond all of our filtering and processing and go straight into the real deal.

Getting rid of beliefs is extremely freeing, and it allows you to go to the next level. Once you have experienced something, you no longer have to "believe" in it.

You also want to travel light in the Astral leaving behind the "excess baggage" of your beliefs behind. Otherwise you will just be "looking into a mirror", so to say: Projecting your own beliefs and then reading them back. You want to go in as an objective observer/experiencer.

Right now, I'm working on this whole issue and hope we can explore this more.
