HEAL YOURSELF
Spiritual Issues
At least in our unconscious mind, all human beings have a relationship with ‘God’ (High Power, Great Energy, Creator, etc). (I mean ‘God’ unrelated to any religion.) And this relationship actually plays an important role in the well being or suffering of a person.
Here is an example of how unconscious thoughts (beliefs) regarding God affected the whole life of a person:
A woman had suffered for many years from an eating disorder and substance addiction. She had been overworking for years to please others, to ‘be a good girl’. We found that age six she had decided that God did not love her because of something that happened in her family. This belief created very strong, unconscious feelings of rejection, of being not good enough and unlovable, which she expressed in the self-defeating behaviors mentioned above.
Once we discovered this unconscious belief and cleared it, she felt a significant easing off in her compulsion to eat and drink. She could now think of hobbies and fun things she’d like to do, whereas before nothing felt appealing (because in her mind she would not have deserved it).
A man came to see me after countless years of psychotherapy without any noticeable changes. In the first session he came to the realization that he was convinced that God had abandoned him at birth (because his childhood was extremely terrifying). I helped him clear this belief and he realized that it was him who had closed himself off from God and all human beings; it was not God.
From this moment on, he started to be able to opening himself to healing. Before it was impossible for him, because he thought he was being punished by God and needed to punish himself (God being Love, of course could not even have the thought of punishment; this is our ego thinking that way).
