Take a belief you have about smoking and
bring it to the surface of your mind.
NOW WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING
THAT MOST OF YOU HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE YOUR BELIEFS
- NOTHING. YES NOTHING.
In the past, we have tried to change our
beliefs by trying to......
Although, this may seem the natural or
correct thing to do it actually achieves the opposite of it's
intent.
By fighting or trying to push it away, we are
really giving it MORE energy and actually increasing it's power over
us.
If you really want to change your old
beliefs.....
Don't fight them.
Don't hate them.
Don't try 'to do' anything to them.
Instead, simply become aware of them; watch and observe
them without guilt and this simple non-judgmental awareness will dissolve the
belief of all it's power.......
........Like
magic.
Most of you do not believe this - simply
because you have never practiced this simple technique.
All you have to do
is to consciously 'sit' or be aware with your old belief, without judging it
or making it wrong until the power behind it dissolves.
A simple
non-judgmental, non-resistance AWARENESS of a belief gradually dissolves
it.
Because many of your beliefs
are deeply embedded in your mind, it may take time for many of your old
ideas about smoking to disappear.
Don't worry. Simply
maintain your simple, non-judgmental, non-resistance awareness of the
belief until it dissolves by doing the exercises suggested.
What is really happening here ?
By simply
acknowledging what we believe and not reacting to it or trying 'to change'
it, what we are really doing is not
giving it any more energy or life
When this
happens, like everything else in life, WITHOUT ENERGY OR LIFE, it will
eventually fade away and die.
In fact, this is what you were doing in
the first writing exercise.....
A CHALLENGE
Why not try this simple method ?
 |
However, to make the exercise maybe
less abstract, you can also imagine putting your old beliefs
into bright balloons and then imagine these
|
| balloons floating
higher and higher into the sky towards a a bright blazingsun where they are dissolved into
nothingness. |
Another excellent technique is to imagine
that your attention is like a gigantic warm sun radiating beams of heat
and warmth omnidirectionally.
Then try to imagine that all of
your old beliefs are made of hard ice and as you become aware of and focus
your attention on each of your old beliefs, without judgment or resistance,
they gradually weaken and MELT away into
nothingness...............
As you play with this exercise, you will
notice that slowly and gradually, your old beliefs will lose their power
and fade away.
You will also notice that as you read
and RE-READ this e-course and let these new IDEAS sink into your
consciousness, all your old beliefs will change
gradually of their own accord.
Give it time. And be patient.
