If someone was greatly deprived during their formative years and is not in a good way now that they are an adult, the logical thing will be for them to do what they can to heal themselves. To do this, they can read books, take courses and work with a therapist or healer.
By taking these steps as well as others, they will gradually be able to put their past behind them and embrace the present. If they don’t do this, their life is not going to get any better; it will probably get even worse. Two Options Taking this into account, they either take action and their life will change, or they don’t do anything and their life will go in the same direction. However, although it may appear to be this black and white, what if there is more to it? What if it is not their actions alone that define whether or not they move forward? What if what they imagine and what they believe also play a part in their ability to move forward? Another Angle If they were purely an observer of their reality, what is going in within them wouldn’t have an effect on what they experience. But, as this is not the case, what is going on within them does. So, if they spend a lot of time focusing on their problems and believing that working with a therapist or healer will allow them to move forward, they are unintentionally putting their energy into and sustaining a certain reality. As a result, what they are focusing on and doing won’t have the effect that they desire. A Different Approach Keeping in mind that what they focus on and believe has an effect on how they experience reality, a more effective approach will be for them to spend time imagining that they are already healed. However, this is not to say that they will just wake up one day and be healed. It also doesn’t mean that they won’t need to work through anything or be assisted by anyone. No, what it means is that by focusing on and placing their energy into a version of themselves that is already healed and living a fulfilling life, they are likely to move forward a lot faster than they would otherwise. The law of resonance During the moments where they are focused on and giving their energy to living in a reality where they are already healed and are living a fulfilling life, they will be energetically aligning themselves with the life that they desire. Thanks to this, their external reality will start to mirror this back. One outcome of this is that they can feel called to work with a therapist or healer who can have a massive impact on them. On one level, this person will be a real human being, but at a deeper level, the experiences that they have with them will be a materialisation of the state that they have been embodying. Another Reality If, on the other hand, they were to purely focus on their problems and on healing themselves, as opposed to having moments where they are already healed and are living a fulfilling life, the person they are pulled to might not have much of an impact on them. They could then work with them for years, but not get very far. This person, or to be more accurate, the version of them that they work with, will be a reflection of their need to heal themselves. There will then be endless wounds to heal, with their being no end in sight. Resistance At this point, their mind might struggle to understand what is being said and could put up a lot of resistance. As this part of them sees itself as separate from everyone and everything, and its identity can be attached to them being wounded and needing to heal themselves, this is to be expected. To this part, they will be a certain way and will need to change to be another way. It won’t be able to accept that they are only a certain way primarily because of how they see themselves and life, and what they continually place their attention and, therefore, energy on. An Analogy For them to shake their mind up, what they can think about is how, at one point in time, it was believed that travelling from one part of the world to another would take a certain amount of time. But, after the invention of air travel, this changed. What this illustrates is that, as fixed as something may appear to be, it isn’t, and it can change. When what changes internally changes, what is going on externally will change, but not before. Awareness With this in mind, if someone wants to transform their life but they don’t take the time to use their imagination to imagine that they are already living the life they desire and are the person they want to be, it is likely to take them far long to change their life. They can move forward very slowly and spend a lot of time going around in circles.
