Ways To Release Self-Worth Issues And Magnetize Abundance

When most people think of manifesting certain things in to their lives they talk about visualization of the goal, being determined, and working hard toward that end — but that is just one aspect. We who are involved in metaphysical teachings may or may not know that there is one more key to unlocking manifestation — self-worth. This is powerful, because it not only has a lot to do with what we feel we deserve to have, it has to do with whether we feel we deserve to be here in the first place.

From the teachings that I have been taught from Ascended Master Kwan Yin as channeled through my friend Marjorie, I have discovered that self worth plays a big role in our lives on earth. According to her, in the USA alone about 93% of the people here are dealing with issues of self-worth. That’s a lot.

Kwan Yin said that if we know that we are a part of and in co-creation with God, we can not have low self-esteem. She always says to us, “You are loveable, worthy and acceptable just as you are.” But as human beings, there are this and many lifetimes of effects to wade through, and sometimes we don’t feel so acceptable. Now we can recognize low self-esteem for the old energy pattern that it is and shift it. It is time.

Many times we have no idea that this is happening to us. We don’t feel like we are down on ourselves in anyway consciously. We don’t feel badly about ourselves. Yet the reflection of our feelings tell a different story as it outpictures in our lives — and there is the truth right in front of us. We will know our mind and our feelings by what we have created with them, which is everything in our life up to this moment.

I found that for myself, this issue of self-worth was causing a barrier between what I desired in my life and what I was getting, and I wanted to mend that. For me this has been going on for a long time over many lifetimes. So I have determined that it will stop at this life.

Manifesting Abundance Guided Meditation

Over time I have heard some great mantras or affirmations that feel good to me to say. These may help you to re gain your connection to your soul and to the power of God in you. One is “I am a Divine creation of God and I am of great worth.” For those of you like me who still are sensitive about wanting to be humble, I also add… “as are all other souls on earth.” This helps instill within me the feeling that not just I, but all souls are of great worth, of great value. The idea is that we are a part of the God Energy, and as such are all of great value, even those who have chosen to temporarily be a part of the darker or negative energy patterns on earth.

Another thing you can do is something I got from Louise Hay’s work when I was recovering from cancer. This is very simple but effective. Look closely into a mirror when you are alone. Look deeply into your eyes and say with feeling, “I love you.” This may sound silly at first and you may feel awkward, but just relax into it. Try to really get into the feeling of it as if you were talking to someone you really care about. You will be surprised at the depth of reaction.

Another thing you might try is: “I have a place in this world. I can take as much energy as I need.” I have included this into my own meditations because I had found that there are deep issues involving my unconscious feelings that I must only take as little as possible space in the world. Part of this is involved with self-worth, so I include it, but everyone will have some kind of other issues stemming from problems with self-worth, from finances to relationships to health.

Another way to release the self from unwanted blockages easily is to do it while you sleep. Kwan Yin says that just before you go to bed, close your eyes and ask the Masters to help you release any blockages involving self-worth during the night while you are resting. You may feel very differently the next day. Then again, you may feel just a sense of ease or peace that you have not experienced recently. Know that it is working.

Remember that we are the authors and architects of our lives, and that what we feel in the moment will determine the next sequence of events for us in the future. Know that you are connected to the Source and that you carry this energy with you always. Now is the time to realize your greatness. Now is the time for you to shine your God-given light and see it reflect back to you all good things that your heart desires.

Thoughts to Make You Feel Good

Are you bombarded with negative thoughts, feelings of inadequacy, and maybe even shame about the past? How do you feel?

Stop! Just for a moment stop and catch yourself thinking. Yes, catch your thoughts, as it were. Do you hear negative chatter about what you perceive others are thinking about you? Is it a one-way conversation, or are you in agreement? Are the not-so-good perceptions interspersed with feel-good kind of thoughts about yourself?

It’s good and very therapeutic to take yourself to task like this every once in a while. How your own thoughts influence you has an awful lot to do with your physical, emotional and even spiritual well-being!

Maybe you’re the tragic victim of a troubled childhood, constantly or often rehearsing all the hurt you went through. The constant replay in your mind may have led you to believe that bad things happened because you must have been bad as a child. Consequently, having heard those messages over and over again, by now you may be convinced that you do not deserve happiness.

But, God does not see you as you may perceive others are seeing you and how you see yourself! As the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed your hurt from you. Like a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear [show reverential awe towards]Him! In fact, He will even extend His righteousness unto your children’s children! (Psalm 103: 11-13; 17)

So you’re asking, what does all this have to do with health and nutrition? So much more than you may think! Your total well-being and physical health are all bound up together: mind, spirit and body.

You may be doing all the fitness exercises and taking all the vitamins in the world. However, if you allow past hurts, unforgiveness and offenses to control your life, you will continue to be bent over with the emotional baggage. Even though you may be smiling and gorgeous on the outside, the emotional strain will eventually take a toll on your physical health!

Take courage, my friend! All is not lost; there is hope! Negative thoughts will try to enforce a negative opinion of yourself and/or giving you perceived ‘permission’ to be negative and downhearted. However, those thoughts, or negative attitudes, can be broken! Once you recognize the kind of internal conversation you are regularly having with yourself, you can tell that ‘accuser’ to lay off! You now have uncovered the culprit and can make a decision not to associate with it any longer.

Choose to hang out with positive people and learn to find the good in both yourself and others. It may take a bit of practice and getting used to, especially if you’ve been in a rut for a long time.

God is not wrong when He says He loves you unconditionally! Allow Him to tell you how well you are loved. His Love will flow through you to others, and you will start feeling good all over.

Affirmation of Undamaged Spirituality

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in October. I was cleaning the horse stables with a front-end loader. This large piece of farm equipment was familiar to me, having operated it for years on the farm. So, it was rather surprising when the engine blew up in flames, completely filling the cab with fire. Intuition caused me to reach for the only small opening out. I climbed up and out of the opening, jumped over the moving wheels, and crashed onto the gravel road, face first.

What do I remember when the flames engulfed me?

Asking what was going on. Feeling a mental affirmation that everything would be okay. Quietness. And, taking the stance that God is my life.

I was taken to the emergency room. The emergency room doctor reviewed my X-rays and came to tell me, “Your liver is bleeding, which generally is fatal. I need to find a surgeon to operate on you.”

While the surgeon was being located, I mentally reaffirmed that my life is connected to the undamaged Spirit, the source of spirituality.

The laws behind spirituality have proven to be a vital force in my human experience. And, that October afternoon, spirituality guided my consciousness to focus on the qualities of appreciation and honesty. This precluded me from thinking based on fear and dread.

The surgeon came to my room and introduced himself; he examined the monitors, reading my vital signs. With happy amazement he told me, “Your liver is stabilizing.” This actually allowed more time for them to get the operating room ready and also allowed me more time to digest the food in my stomach so it would be empty for the operation.

The operation that was never necessary!

Spirituality was already painlessly operating in my thought. Spiritual ideas from a book I regularly study, “Science and Health,” by Mary Baker Eddy, were being verified as legitimate. A few main ideas are that Spirit is all-in-All, our infinite source of being, and people are spiritual beings. Our spirituality can be, and is, discovered to be supreme, positively influencing human mortals to heal and experience the truth of undamaged Spirit, God.

Physically, I was unable to do anything on my own. A catheter was put in. I had fractures, a useless arm, a badly injured eye that was swollen shut, and I had second degree burns on half of my face (the side I landed on the gravel road with). However, metaphysically, I was active. I was honest with the surgeon. He realized that meditation was a significant factor in my life. Yet, from a practical standpoint, if fear ever blocked me from praying and my body began reverting into danger, we would reconsider our actions.

I sincerely appreciated the nurses who carefully and compassionately removed the gravel from the burned side of my face. The nurses cleaned my face in intervals, instinctively supporting the fact that mind and body work in unity. The nurses never pushed my mind into the realm of painful irritated thinking and my body healed quickly. The body could not help but conform to mind; to their compassion and my appreciative thought.

Pain relievers were unnecessary the entire time, throughout all the care, cleaning, and healing. After the second day, I was taken out of the ICU and put in a room of my own.

My husband took me home on the third day. Within three weeks I was taking care of my family, working, and even took a snowmobile out for a ride on the weekend. There is no scarring from the burns.

During this particular healing, it became solidly evident to me to revise “Science and Health,” first published in the year 1875. This book contains timeless, universal principles that are available to everyone throughout time. Therefore, the next ten years were filled with research, meditation, work, and spiritual growth. The result of this interesting work is “21st Century Science and Health.”

The energy of our tremendous cosmos mimics the energy of spirituality, advancing and expanding human beings into the possibility of non-intrusive healing. Affirmation of the ideas found in “21st Century Science and Health” are useful. We recognize, and can substantiate, more humaneness, more enlightenment, and our undeniable, undamaged spiritual nature.
