Transforming Lives

by Joyce-Anne Locking

Just after I wrote the article saying life changes take time and hard work, I watched a TV interview on life transformations. The lady being interviewed was saying life transformations might possibly be done instantly, effortlessly and joyfully.

It seems our belief system is the thing that governs our lives and sometimes all we need do is remove negative thought from our beliefs and our lives will be instantly transformed. NLP (neurolinguistic programming) trainers teach about words we tell ourselves. The self-talk we give ourselves is what we believe in or at least, what we come to believe. By changing the self-talk to a different programming or patterning is like changing channels on TV. Suddenly we are in a different zone and we have a whole new set of choices. New doors open and we almost instantly become on a different path.

There are a few catches however if you look a little deeper into this therapeutic transforming technique. One big change is the release of attachment to the life we already have. We become so attached to thoughts, theories, and things that we do not want to give these up. All we need do is be open to learning and ready to give up attachment, and life changes can be instantly performed. To get help with this process the interviewee suggests a life coach or life consultant to monitor progress and guide us through life changes.

Strong emotions we hold inside us do the most damage as they cause our channels to become blocked. Eventually the body develops disease from lack of vital life-giving energy. Remove the blockages, and the flow is restored allowing body, mind and spirit to naturally heal.
