Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Releasing Past Limiting And/or Negative Identities As we said in our previous discussion, you can choose an identity self who is experiencing peace and joy -- regardless of the circumstances of your past. In order to step fully into a positive and empowered identity self, you may need to experience the process of "releasing past negative and limiting identities." As you undertake this transitional process of releasing past limiting or negative identities, you may find some or all of the following steps helpful. One) Give your self permission to withdraw from any realities or interactions associated with old, limiting or negative identities. Even if there are those close to you who are still "invested" in your old identity, you can choose new ways of interacting with them that are aligned with your new identity. It may be necessary for a time to limit your interaction until you are strongly aligned and centered in your new identity. In time, others will learn to interact with the perspective of your new identity. Two) Allow and welcome the changes your new identity brings into your life. Understand that a change in identity often equals a change of vibration. In accordance with the Law of Attraction, a change of vibration effectively de-magnetizes some connections in your life while magnetizing new ones. If you shift to a new identity, you may find yourself drawn to a new career, a new course of study, new friends, activities, a new diet and exercise regimen, or other new ways of being. Three) Open to explore new areas of experience and expression. When you undergo an "identity shift," you become more closely aligned with new and previously unknown aspects of your self. This is why you choose to experience new identities in the first place -- to learn about your self and access new realms of experience. It is likely your new identity self will bring you in o resonance with talents and abilities you have acquired throughout your arc of lifetimes but have not yet discovered in your present lifetime. As these new talents reveal themselves, follow your excitement and passion to explore whatever realms of experience and expression you feel drawn to. Four) Allow your self to embrace and accept times of uncertainty. Times of transition and change don't have to be times of depression and anxiety. Instead, they can be times of great anticipation and joy, times filled with abundant opportunities for reshaping your reality and perceiving and adopting new ways of being. Five) Affirm that as you open to and receive the abundance of the universe, you are infinitely more capable of assisting others, including those closest to you who may initially feel threatened or upset by the changes you are making. Six) Build into your transitional bridging identity self (and all future identity selves) a wise, nurturing component that loves and knows how to nurture every aspect of your being into a place of healing. This nurturing presence may represent the essence of a wise and loving guide that is an aspect of your higher self. Whenever old voices tell you that you are doomed to repeat painful patterns of the past, invite this nurturing aspect of your consciousness to sit with the parts of your self that are still playing "old tapes." This nurturing aspect of your new identity self can dialogue with these older aspects of your consciousness, or simply sit with them radiating love and understanding. Seven) Expand your awareness and beliefs to embrace the idea that "identity selves" are designed to be changed, released and adopted in whatever way is necessary for you to grow and progress throughout your lifetime. Just as each generation that incarnates on the Earth plane adds to, improves upon and heals the consciousness and creations of the previous generation, each new identity self adds to, improves and heals the identity selves that came before it. Likewise, each identity self sets down a foundation and creates the causes of new identities that expand consciousness in new and exciting directions. Eight) Learn to program desired characteristics into all your new identities through intention, will and desire. You may already have characteristics in mind that you would like to adopt. You may wish to be more intuitive, more creative, more compassionate, more giving, more discerning, etc. You may also choose to adopt characteristics of people you admire, or characteristics of those you have read about. Expand your repertoire of desired qualities by becoming an observer. Observe your world, find what feels peaceful and whole. Observe individuals who you admire, who radiate a peaceful, loving vibration. Study the identity selves of creative and expansive people you know, study biographies of those you admire and wish to emulate. What do these individuals believe about themselves? Find words to describe the characteristics of those you admire. Describe for your self the nature of their identity self. How does it different from yours? How is it similar? Nine) Refrain from judging past experiences you may consider "dark." Embrace all your experiences, keeping in mind that the extent of darkness always equals the extent of light. Learn to appreciate and express gratitude for all your experiences, for the depths of understanding they have given you. In this way, you are able to transform every circumstance into a joyful opportunity for growth and transformation.
