Hitting Bedrock (January 2005)
In all the years that I have worked on myself and counseled students, I think now I have reached a place of spiritual maturity that allows me to go deeper into a way of healing myself and helping others heal. I call it "hitting bedrock".
I have found over the years that so many different types of problems crop up in our lives: maybe first it's physical, then financial, then relationship or maybe ailments that jump all over the place.
One of my gurus is Dr. John Sarno, the illustrious author of "Healing Back Pain" and "The MindBody Prescription". Dr. Sarno talks about all ailments coming from deep seated unexpressed rage and the ailments are used to effectively distract us from our emotions. The fact is, all of our problems are used to distract us from what is the hidden bedrock belief that allows the structure of these problems to always be maintained.
After much writing and much digging, we can usually unearth the core belief. I've lately started working with students privately and with my 5 planets in Aquarius (!), I can usually see within a half hour what the bottom line beliefs are.
Then the real work begins, i.e., reversing the thought with an affirmation which must be practiced religiously for days and days. Abraham says: "You will manifest your dominant belief". So if we want to change a belief, sometimes we have to go at it with a vengeance.
So, one of the most common bedrock ideas people often encounter is: "I am guilty and I deserve to be punished", thus manifesting a seemingly endless series of problems throughout their lives. In that case, the new mantra would be something like: "I am innocent and I only deserve love, support and kindness,"
This is a very brief description of this idea, which I have seen cause profound healings. Like unraveling a tightly woven ball of yarn, almost miraculously the complex web of dramas begins to fall away, one by one. I see no reason to ever work on the outer problems, when this "one stop shopping" can rather rapidly release a myriad of unhappy lifetime events.
Affirm often:
I am innocent and I only deserve love, support and kindness. I refuse to ever turn anger inward. Instead all anger is released in positive, constructive ways. Thank you God for massive miracles of healing!
Sincerely, Joni
