How to find unconscious beliefs?
There are in my experience two types of beliefs:
1- the beliefs we know we have.
2- the beliefs we don't know we have.
Which ones are the most powerful you may ask.
Well those you know you have, you are able to talk to them,
negotiate with them, and begin to shift them when you see them
popping up in your life.
But, in my experience, the beliefs that are actually shaping your life
in a way that is powerful, because they are totally unconscious, are those
beliefs you have never even considered as beliefs.
Anthony de Mello, Jesuit priest and psychotherapist said:
"There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you
have in your head; beliefs so widespread, so commonly held,
that it never occurs to you to question them."
These are the beliefs that once debunked can literally
change your life.
Last week, I had a client who was very obese. As I was looking for
unconscious beliefs, here are some of the things she said:
As a child they moved so often that she hated to move. Her mother
often told her that she was so fat that she had a hard time to move her.
When they moved she always was afraid to be left behind, forgotten, unseen.
Do you begin to see a transparent belief here?
If I move I will be abandoned.
When I am fat I am hard to move.
Being fat will prevent me from moving ...and be abandoned!
Waoh!!!
These are the kind of beliefs I am talking about!
So, let's see how you can find these kinds of beliefs:
Follow Harry Palmer's exercise (Resurfacing Book - Avatar course).
If you have no coach, you can still do it yourself.
Ask yourself these questions:
1- What do you want to change?
(Find a pattern you want to change in your life)
Then ask alternatively the two following questions till you find a
surpirsing belief:
2- What belief might someone have in order to experience that?
3- What proof do you have this belief is true?
Keep digging, asking over and over the questions 2 and 3.
You will uncover many beliefs, but you will find one that you didn't expect.
This is a transparent belief!
You can then explore further and ask yourself:
1- How does this belief affect your life? What creation does it bring?
2- Who would you be without that belief?
When I am by myself, I often write these beliefs as they come up.
Sometimes I take one of them later to dig even further and find another
transparent belief there.
Get your power back by uncovering your blocking beliefs.
Warmly,
