Seriously Stuck? Blast Those Thought Forms! by Donna Cunningham

As discussed in this blog a few days ago (”Using Manifestation Mojo at the Solstice”), Pluto, Mars, and the Sun are running together in the sky for much of the next two weeks. I call Mars-Pluto combinations the signature of the magician or healer. As we’ll see today, this is the perfect time to use your manifestation mojo to break through the places where you’re stuck.

What I began to fathom recently, as Pluto entered Capricorn for a 14-year stay, is that we all need to address the negative thought forms that hold us back now so that they don’t crystallize into a solid brick wall. If you’re not familiar with thought forms, they’re near-solid objects in our energy fields that we create by thoughts and beliefs that we repeat over and over until they manifest in the outer world. When these self-fulfilling prophecies come true, they’re reinforced–”See, I was right!” Ultimately, they lodge in what’s called the causal body–an outer layer of the energy field that attracts people, situations, and events into our lives. This ancient teaching is the basis of many modern metaphysical works like The Secret.

Why I’m excited about this Mars-Pluto conjunction is because Capricorn is the sign of building structures and realizing long-term goals by consistent, disciplined focus and practical actions. Take this week-long interval to identify places in your life that you’re stuck. Listen to your thoughts about that area and let your ears perk up when you hear words like “never” or “always.” When you find a familiar thought or set of thoughts that represent a deal breaker for your goals, put feelers out into your energy field-this may be a thought form.

I’ll be writing more about thought forms and how to address them, but ultimately you’re the expert in how to demolish your own. After all, you built them!! Make up a method–maybe you aim an ultraviolet ray gun at it, maybe your angel carries it away, maybe a rocket ship blows it into the sun, or maybe your favorite superhero blasts it to smithereens. In this interval of heightened healing and manifestation powers that accompany the Mars-Pluto conjunction, seize the day and clear unwanted thought forms out of your life. I’m working it myself, believe me, on my writing goals!

Legacy Thought Forms-Shake (off) what your Mama Gave You
http://skywriter.wordpress.com/2008/12/24/legacy-thought-forms-shake-off-what-your-mama-gave-you

When I initially scanned my causal body, it had more than a passing resemblance to the asteroid belt. I’ve been working for days on clearing it out, but last night encountered a sector that contained hardship-based constructs from several generations of relatives. Let’s call them legacy thought forms. Like other legacies, you can inherit them from parents and ancestors.


Examples might be: “This family is doomed to poverty.” “We’re just not a long-lived family.” “You’re going to become an alcoholic just like your dad and grandpa.” “In every generation, we’ve had at least one old maid schoolteacher, and it looks like you’re it.” “Breast Cancer runs in our family.” And so on–add your own family’s self-fulfilling prophecies, especially the ones your mama warned would happen to you if you didn’t watch out.

Maybe you consciously reject dire predictions like these, but they can take root in the unconscious if not actively dismantled. Scan your energy field to locate any that exist, and work on ridding yourself of them. You might imagine a laser gun, a superhero, or an angel blasting them out of orbit and pulverizing them.

Thought Forms and the Brain
http://skywriter.wordpress.com/2008/12/25/thought-forms-and-the-brain/

The newest revelation from my guides is that thought forms have corresponding neural traces in the brain, especially in the area called the amygdala. Its functions are complex, but it’s connected to strong emotions and certain compulsive behaviors associated with them.

The guidance I’m being given is that to demolish unwanted thought forms successfully, we also need to send healing to the related area of the amygdala to release emotional charges. To have a sense where of it’s located, see the drawing below.

amygdala-web1

There are a variety of ways of prompting the brain to release emotional charges associated with a thought form, and if you already have a healing tool that works well for you, use that. Whatever tool you choose, it’s wise to start out slowly and gingerly, because thought forms have far-reaching connections to many unsuspected areas of our lives. If you react strongly, slow the work down.

For new readers: We’re in a key astrological window for this work because of the current Mars-Pluto-Sun conjunction in late Sag to early Capricorn, an aspect that heightens our ability to set concrete, realizable goals, invoke the power of intention, and clear away limiting beliefs that have been getting in our way. The Mars-Pluto conjunction will be exact on the 28th, but will continue strong through January 8th. Grab it and milk it for all it’s worth, because it won’t come back for another two years.

Harness the New Moon’s Energy for a Career Breakthrough
http://skywriter.wordpress.com/2008/12/28/harness-the-new-moons-energy-for-a-career-breakthrough

A golden time to initiate new projects or actions is one day after a New Moon. The chart for yesterday’s Capricorn New Moon portrayed a solid 24-karat opportunity, and so today is the optimal window to jumpstart your goals for 2009. Mars and Pluto are precisely conjunct today as well. Especially if you’ ve been stuck but are committed to a manifestation breakthrough, dedicate this day to it and put day-to-day tasks aside. Think innovatively, assess realistically, and plan comprehensively. Start today to create solid structures to support your goals, and take mission-critical actions.

What was going on in the solar system that was so major? There were SIX planets lined up in Capricorn, the sign of long-term goals and success through committed effort. I researched it, and the exact combination cannot repeat itself for at least 248 years. In the early degrees of the sign, the Sun, Moon, Mars (the planet of action) and Pluto (planet of power and transformation) were conjunct. Later in the sign, Jupiter (growth, expansion, faith, and even luck) was conjunct Mercury (writing, communication, sales).

In the Pacific Time zone, at least, the New Moon chart placed that Capricorn stellium in the 2nd house–the house of money and how you earn and manage it. The positive grouping of those six planets in career-oriented Capricorn spread out through the house of finance says to me that the actions you take today and through the month to the next New Moon can boost your capacity to weather these financial storms.

*snip*

To return to ways you can capitalize on the positive potential of this New Moon, today would be a powerful time to draw up a list of your GOALS for the next year, and then use your favorite metaphysical tools to LOCK IN THOSE INTENTIONS. Goals should be specific, with measurable outcomes, but not sooooo specific that you block unforseen yet even better outcomes. (EG, “I will find a publisher for my novel,” NOT “I will get Random House to accept my novel.”)

6. What's a Pluto problem?

We all have Pluto somewhere in our chart and because it is so slow-moving, many people have Pluto in the same sign. What is it that makes Pluto more of a problem for some people?

8. Not sure, but I know Pluto is more of a generational planet

read the thread on Pluto here at ASAH... it is really interesting. And Pluto will be BIG this year because he just moved into Capricorn for the first time since the Revolution in 1776 (date?)

so we are all feeling this one more than usual these days

3. interesting...

I've had some of my old, family-instilled thoughts circulating intensely through my depressed brain for the past week or so. But to blast them away, I guess first I needed to hear them to recognize that they're still there...

Since I'm nearly halfway through my MLT training, I guess I am on the long, hard Capricorn slog... The surprising news was that I've maintained my 4.0 through microbiology and 1st semester chemistry. Coming into this semester, my intuition was I'd slip to 3.0 for both courses. I barely made it through finals, but somehow the early solid high A's held up.

5. Congratulations on all your hard work!

When I first started working to delete those thoughtforms that played like a broken record in my mind I would stop for a moment when the thought arose and send reiki to my brain imagining it was going to the area the thought was stuck like a computer program in a hard drive with the intention of deleting the danged thing. Even if for only 10 seconds whenever I could stop what I was doing I would send the Reiki and/or breathe Light into my mind. I was never sure where it would be located or even if really was in my brain but that was the image that made sense to me so I went with it. So if I thought "you are such an idiot. you never get anything right.' I would breathe light and send Reiki. If I felt emotion in a specific area of my body such as my heart or gut I would breathe in light and send Reiki to those areas as well.

My family had a thoughtform handed down for heaven knows how many generations. Whenever my Mother was greatly stressed she would exclaim 'I don't know why I bother. I might as well give up.' It scared the dickens out of me as a kid and still makes me cringe if she says it today. When is stated saying it I was worried thinking oh crap this stuff is congateous!!!! So one day I asked my Mom why she said that phrase. She swore she never has said it in spite of my vivid memories going back to early childhood of her saying it. I then asked if anyone ever said anything like that and she replied after a moment that her Dad *always* said that when upset and like me it scared her as a child to hear her parent say something like that wondering they would go away and never comeback or die or something else dreadful. I started sending Reiki and light to myself when I caught myself saying the phrase and over time it came up less and less until it and the other repetitive thoughts and self-criticisms stopped. New ones start to grow at times which just means nipping them in the bud instead of letting them establish though years of habit where one rude comment could trigger a negative downward spiral.

So these things can be deleted it is just a matter of how long it takes. The more emotional charge hooked in with or relating to the thoughtform (such as feelings of worthlessness + the thoughtform 'you will never amount to anything/no one in this family ever secedes) the more work it will take.

4. This is totally cool - thanks!

[northernlights]

7. thank you Shallah!

Great idea...I think I'll try sending white light to my brain every time the negative thoughts come raining in.

9. I hope it works as good for you as it did for me!

It certainly is nicer than some behavioral techniques that have people snapping elastics on their wrist every time they think of the thing they want to not think about :crazy:

10. This has been sticking in my head for days..

I think I may want to write down all the hard core beliefs that I have held for a long time and really wirk on them - transmuting them into something new and creating new statements.

Have you ever heard of the Language of Mastery? this feels similar to me

I really have to take the time to do my homework on this one, especially if I want 2009 to be a DIFFERENT year
... thanks again Shallah

[Shallah Kali]

11. This certainly is a potent time for change and transformation

I haven't heard of the Language of Mastery. I just have a small collection of things I have learned about clearing old useless or harmful programming and a bit of energy transformation.

The past few days I have been taking time to send good vibes to myself in the past focusing on the most difficult things that happened to me in early years. The hardest bit was not getting caught up in the emotions still with me from that time. That part needs to wait until I can work with my therapist on them. I would enclose the memory in a bubble of light to temporarily block the emotions so I could focus on sending positive energy to help me at that time. I feel this is helping heal me on a deep level and touching some spots that I haven't hit until now. Dealing with old injury is often like peeling an onion. You strip back one layer to find another one just as eye wateringly painful dang it all but at least the onion is slightly smaller.

If you end up writing down your issues you might find it useful at times to use a technique I learned from Reiki but works equally well IMO with other things. Basically when one creates a long list of people or things needing treatment it gets a bit much to do a full out session on each and everyone every time. Simply all it is is putting your list in a box or other container and sending to everything in the box. Sometimes I will hold my box in my lap when watching tv or surfing the internet to send energy constatly. I just focus for the first minute or so with intention that everything in the box gets treated and then relax and let the energy flow. I find this useful when I am emotionally down or down right depleated and need to veg but still want to accomplish something.
