This meditation supports the Stage Seven task of identifying and replacing limiting beliefs. In this task, you detail your beliefs about yourself and about life, to sort out which beliefs are holding you back, or no longer serve you. Then, you replace them with new beliefs and retrain your brain by reading them every day for about a month. The biggest challenge in this task is identifying those limiting beliefs to begin with, and then convincing the subconscious to reverse them. Within the meditative state, we have an opportunity to speak directly to the subconscious and speed this along. This meditation will support retraining the subconscious in your new chosen beliefs.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Posture<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Take a moment to get comfortable.\u00a0You can sit or lay down. You will want to close your eyes for this journey.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Presence<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>For this meditation, you will need a set of two or three new beliefs that you want to \u201cinstall\u201d. We choose two to three so that the mind does not tune out the repetition of a single sentence. Two is ideal, but three is possible.\u00a0Make sure these new beliefs will support your goals and not hold you back. Keep them short with as few words as possible.\u00a0Take a moment now to pause and list them out.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Take a slow deep breath. Let it out like a sigh of relief. Be at peace. You are here now. Take another slow deep breath, and this time, send it out slowly, consciously, with purpose, all the way.\u00a0Be at peace. You are here now. Pause and repeat these breaths until you feel relaxed and at peace.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Journey<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>We begin. Focus on the solar plexus. What are your goals? What do you want for your life? Think about those goals and visualize them happening.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Keep your focus on the solar plexus. Feel how the energy moves there. From here, we will release everything that that would get in the way of your vision. Imagine a grey mist of all those limiting beliefs, flowing out of your solar plexus. Speak to them in your mind. \u201cThank you, but I don\u2019t need you anymore.\u201d Regard them with love like you are looking at a pet or a baby animal. Breathe. Watch them dissolve away with each exhale. Repeat this process now several times&#8230;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Now there is space for new beliefs. Remember your two or three new beliefs that you want to have? Recall them now to yourself.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For each one, give it a shape and a color. Imagine them floating in your hands just in front of your solar plexus. As you say each one to yourself, see it move into you to become a part of the very fiber of your being. Look on them with gratitude and love.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Begin to repeat your list of two or three new beliefs over and over. Say them in your mind, ending each belief with, \u201cYES. Thank you.\u201d Continue this repetition over and over for some minutes right now.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>(Belief). Yes. Thank you. &#8230;.. (Belief). Yes. Thank you&#8230;.. (Belief). Yes. Thank you.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Return<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>When you are ready, bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Notice how you feel. Take this process with you and return to it anytime you like. Reinforce your new beliefs every day for about a month. You will know when they are solidly part of you. Your life will change to reflect them.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A guided meditation for the Stage Seven task of identifying limiting beliefs and installing new ones, speaking directly to the subconscious to release old patterns from the solar plexus and embed two or three chosen replacement beliefs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1080,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[2051,31],"project_tag":[36,2069,1429,654,180,900,280,649,981,2052,947,1452,1857,977,489,309,1012,1248,655,112,302,186,979,978,284,980,605,332,1361,283],"series":[],"class_list":["post-3395","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-guided-meditations","project_category-observations","project_tag-art","project_tag-books","project_tag-business","project_tag-complete-connection","project_tag-connection","project_tag-consciousness","project_tag-cycle","project_tag-cycle-of-human-development","project_tag-finding-peace","project_tag-guided-meditations","project_tag-human-development","project_tag-lasting-peace","project_tag-lastingpeace-org","project_tag-life-optimization","project_tag-meditation","project_tag-money","project_tag-podcasts","project_tag-poetry","project_tag-purna-asatti","project_tag-relationships","project_tag-religion","project_tag-science","project_tag-seeing-yourself","project_tag-self-mastery","project_tag-self-development","project_tag-self-improvement-2","project_tag-self-understanding","project_tag-society","project_tag-spirituality","project_tag-stages"],"acf":{"recommend_blurb":"For anyone ready to retrain the beliefs that hold them back.
