Realization

The mental reconnection and information gathering phase.  Clearing blocks & limiting be-lie-fs that restrict your power  to live & love limitlessly. Realizing that you exist to create and that consequently you have (consciously or unconsciously) created everything.  Understanding that you are powerful beyond be-lie-f and can consciously re-design your destiny to BE, DO & HAVE all that you truly desire.

The Realization phase asks:  Why do I exist?

1. Hi Lauren! I was wondering if you have any insight or advice on how to change a heavily ingrained belief system, especially one that no longer works for you...
   
   I'm finding affirmations don't really work for me. Nor does "pretending to believe" work when done in the conscious mind. It seems that belief systems then need to be changed in the subconscious (which does bridge the superconscious with the conscious minds). However, I don't know how to do this. Belief systems are what's limiting me. Any suggestions? What about unbelieving belief altogether?

   Hi & thanks for your question! Be-lie-f systems are a tricky thing...they are thoughts that we have honored enough times to accept as true and eventually they create our perception of reality.

   At the core of our being, we are free. Any be- lie-fs about what we deem possible are simply mental programs acquired by external systems of influence. In the game of Practical Magic I say that these programs need to be 1)identified, 2) illuminated and 3) transmuted through the use of divine alchemy....which is really just a fancy way of saying "1) stay present with the process by continually seeing these be-lie-fs for what they are (past mis-creations), 2) remaining detached from them (kind of like seeing them as a part of your past as opposed to a part of your present reality), and then 3) immediately shifting your focus to a better feeling thought.

   Keep in mind that this is not always a one-time event...limited be-lie-fs often have deep roots with many layers or filters of programming that must be removed, so if you make this clearing process a habit, you will find that you cycle through these many layers (like an onion) until you arrive at your unobstructed core.

   MOST IMPORTANTLY: remember that the energy of PLAY is the divine and magical elixir in transmutation...so see this process as fun...something that you look forward to as opposed to something you dread. Seek out those be-lie-fs like a heat-seeking missle and destroy them! (Atari's asteroids from the 70's definitely comes to mind : ))

2. Hi Lauren...do we need to fully understand a fear/illusion to move through it?

   Yes and No. Yes because our brains are always seeking understanding to feel balanced and at peace. No because we can't transmute fears with our brains alone, we must neutralize the e-motion behind fear as well.

   Basically, the function of e-motion is to provide a physical release for the build up of stored energy within the body. When this primordial function is repressed, misalignment occurs. When e-motion is properly released, harmony is restored, so the goal is to neautralize the e-motion-al charge that the fear creates.

   If you want to learn more about the "how", I highly recommend the Memory Replacement Program.

3. Okay I understand that we can conciously or unconsciously create everything, but sometimes things happen unexpectedly to me and are hurtful or stressful or I just have a crummy day when my thought processes were positive and these things just come out of the blue, what is going on when this happens. No matter how positive I can be crappy things happen, what am I missing or what am I supposed to be learning or seeing that I am not? I truly desire good things for all and abundance for all and wish the violet flame to transmute all the old densities gone from everyone, but I am finding a numbness in my heart when I say my prayers and desires, what is causing this numbness? I feel I am not able to create anything in my life because of this numbness and would like it gone, what can I do to heal this?

   First of all, BEing positive is not a state of mind, it is a state of energy....of vibration.  Ultimately, in order to experience the higher realms of expansion and freedom, you must carry (resonate with) the frequency of expansion and freedom...which boils down to clearing.

   In simplest terms, energy just IS, so if you are attracting energies that are disharmonious, then you are carrying disharmonious energies in your personal (auric) field.  Regardless of what you do with your mind (ie, positive thinking, affirmations, etc.), keep in "mind" that the brain is only one aspect of physical experience and not solely responsible for what you attract/create/experience.  The brain processes and translates the energy we carry into information...like a computer that is fed software programs... but the holographic reality (life experiences) that you participate in are a result of your light quotient, or rate of vibration.

   To raise your vibration, you must face, release and transmute all areas of discordance in your life and body...which I imagine is what accounts for the numbness you are feeling in your heart...but this does not happen through the mind....your brain can assist you in the process, by "interpreting" these energies, but true clearing results from dislodging stuck energies through e-motion which is the divine mechanism created for us to properly release...and not store...energy.

4. Hi Lauren, how is it that we can feel so connected at times - so realized and then suddenly one can feel so disconnected. I continually fail to understand this fickeness of emotions, beliefs, faith, etc. How can we feel so powerful and with it!! then so powerless and without it!!!. hope this makes sense to you. Why do we sometimes feel it would be easier to just go home (leave the earth)? Much gratitude Lauren. Jenny

   Hi Jenny and thanks for the great question. I feel what you describe here is actually one of the most challenging parts of the process...staying connected to your inner-bliss (truth) even when you don't FEEL connected to your inner-bliss.

   The reason this happens is easiest to explain in terms of energy. As we ground our soul potential into form, we are actually carving out, or pushing through a myriad of dense (karmic) energies that we collected over a lifetime...or many lifetimes...and which create limiting be-lie-fs, stuck emotions & lodged cellular memories .

   Each time we cycle through, or download more of our soul energy through our mental, emotional and physical bodies, we kick up more of these dense energies that are blocking the source of our creativity, in order to break through and transmute them. As they come up to the surface, on their way out, we can feel the density of these low vibrating energies as they tend to temporarily block our connection to our true source of power.

   The process can get very confusing because each time we feel the incredible power of connectivity, inevitably, a few hours to days later, we can feel antithetical to that.  This is a major indication of a clearing or healing crisis...feeling really empowered, and then really disempowered. Luckily, eventually...as we have fewer and fewer limiting blocks...the ebb and flow dissipates and we feel more readily & steadily connected.

   This is also the same energy expressed through the creation process and accounts for things like "writers/artists block".  Since staying connected to our source of creativity and power is intuitive & feeling based, it requires patience, great faith and trust in your internal navigation as well as the awareness that each creative cycle will bring up deeper energies for clearing.

5. you said the only way around it is through it, what is your advice on how to do it with ease and grace? because I feel like throwing a tantrum while finalizing the process of clearing blocks.

   Ahhh, great question! First real-ize that your "ability" (aka readiness) to go through the block IS the process and the rest is about the how. The best tool for this is presence with detachment...what I always refer to as: "allowing what is to be."

   I recommend that you first release the thought that the process should be graceful, and instead focus your attention on allowing. Allowing is an art, but it is a tool of mastery that never expires. Letting yourself be EXACTLY where you are, without resistance is key, so if you find yourself feeling resistance... or attachment to what you are going through... try instead to shift the energy by WELCOMING whatever it is that is creating the discomfort/struggle within you.

   I know how annoying that sounds, but it actually works. All suffering is really resistance to what is...so when something comes up for you that is causing you pain, stop yourself in that moment....breathe...and reverse the flow of rejecting what is happening in that moment (resistance), to accepting it...welcoming it...embracing it... and breathing into it.

   If you do this completely and repetitively, you will find transmutation happens with the ease and grace you are hoping for. Good luck!
