The Power of Thoughtforms
"If there is one thing that is important for you to know, it
is that every thought, even the most insignificant is a living
reality. Thoughts can even be seen, there are people who can see
them. Of course on the physical plane, a thought is invisible
and intangible, but it is no less real: in its own region and
with its own subtle matter, it is a living, active
being..."(Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov)
Thoughtforms can be described as energetic patterns that exist
within our aura, and they are created by our own thoughts. So if
you have the thought, 'I have all the energy I need, I have all
the energy I need', with enough conviction and belief, you'll
create a thought form who 'makes this so', and this newly
created thoughtform will then live happily inside your aura.
This thoughtform will help you draw towards you all the
circumstances you need to 'make it so', for example, it may help
you realise that you need to give up smoking, as a first step
towards better health and energy, then it may nudge you towards
taking up a new hobby that you really enjoy, (and therefore
boosts your energy) and as you clear each hurdle, improving diet
etc, etc, the thoughtform will continue to help you clear all
obstacles between you and the optimum energy levels that you
want to create. This could take weeks, months, or could be a
life's work!
You could say that thoughtforms are the spiritual equivalent to
computer programmes, and sub-routines, as they will keep running
the same programme until the time where an intent and focus is
made (by you) to change them.
You can have thoughtforms of depression, which always respond to
certain triggers with hopelessness and despair, or thoughtforms
of overeating, thoughtforms of rage. It only knows how to exist
as itself, (it only has one programme to run!) and so
thoughtforms will always attempt to deal with life in the same
way.
Thoughtforms are created over time, and are the energetic
equivalent of schemas (deeply held beliefs). If there is a very
strong activating event, that happens only once; such as the
trauma of a car accident, or rape, then, because of the strength
of the emotions, a powerful thoughtform will be created. Or if
over a number of years, an experience happens daily of being
undermined in small, subtle ways, such as the dynamics that can
occur in families, then again, due to the dripping tap of
emotion, a large pool of energy is created for the thoughtform
to grow big and strong. So then, here we have the situation of a
thoughtform living happily (maybe not for you) in your aura,
creating the reality of the belief that is at the core of its
existence, and feeding off the energy that it co-creates with
the world around. Well, what then?
Well, the good news is that YOU are the computer programmer
(phew), and have at your fingertips a wealth of tools. Thoughts
and emotions have great power, when used together with intent,
and this is how the power of affirmations, speaking them,
writing them, thinking them effectively and over time will bring
about positive change. So for example, affirming 'I love and
approve of myself', will help heal a negative thoughtform that
is creating, 'I am a useless person'. Affirmations are often not
enough in themselves, but work well when combined with other
methods.
Hypnotherapy is an excellent way of 'plugging' straight in to
the appropriate thought forms, and bringing about positive
change. As while counselling and psychotherapy will 'whittle
away' at the beliefs created over years in childhood, often
using the logical, conscious left-brain to prove to yourself
that you're not useless after all, hypnotherapy does this by
going straight to 'the heart of the problem', and can bring
about immediate transformation.
Hypnotherapy also uses the power of the word, and of sound, and
of healing energy which is channelled through the word. When a
hypnotherapist is speaking to a client in trance, the therapist
is co-creating with the client new thought forms.
Parts therapy is incredibly useful, and indeed parts therapy is
a way of communicating directly to your thoughtforms. In most of
us, there are a number of thoughtforms, all working in different
directions, and through parts therapy, you can bring them under
conscious control and get them to 'pull together' working
together in harmony, and for the highest good.
Because these thought forms are energy and don't actually exist
in their own right, (having been created secondary to that
person) as a healer I use a number of clearing techniques. One
excellent energy for doing this is the violet flame, which
anyone can use. This energy transforms and transmutes negative
energy into positive energy. So a thoughtform can be removed and
made available for use for a positive thoughtform. I use the
technique of drawing off the energy with my left hand, and then
'ciphoning' it to my right hand and to the violet flame, which I
visualise as a violet flame 'bonfire' directly underneath my
right hand.
Other energy healing techniques using certain hand positions can
be used to 'break down', and dissipate any negative thoughtforms
around the head or solar plexus, and also certain hand positions
work powerfully on past life traumas stored in the brain stem.
Sometimes bringing in the energy which is opposite to the
thoughtforms gently eases them away, so with a fear thoughtform,
you might bring in gentle calming energies; calling on
archetypes that represent this energy, such as White Tara or
Buddha, and channel their particular high vibration of energy.
This energy can then gently 'wash away' and dissolve the fear
thought form.
It's important in this healing work, (as in parts therapy), to
always treat the 'forms' that you're working with, with great
care, and not take the stance of 'obliterating them'. This is
not a war to be fought, but a diplomatic negotiation of change,
where compassion and sensitivity are the keys to success.
We create our own reality, and our own karma through the process
of creating these thoughtforms in response to the world around
us, and our past experiences and beliefs. I believe thought
forms can be carried from life to life (as energy never dies, it
only changes). With this perspective, your life path becomes a
far more 'cause and effect' process, and one in which we can
take our power back.
So, you might want to have a think about what kind of
thoughtforms you might be carrying around with you, and how to
do a bit of 'life laundry' on them. Working to raise the energy
and vibration of your thoughtforms (and of course you!) is
probably the most satisfying and rewarding work you can
undertake, as you'll be repaid by your reality ever increasingly
reflecting the inner brightness of your light!
