Scientists verify that we create our personality from the first trimester in the womb. From when we are kids, at age 6 the brain is in Theta state which is pure creativity, we couldn’t differentiate reality from imagination. Everything that we saw, heard, felt from our environment sets and defines how we perceive the world and the meaning we give to things. It is our beliefs that control our lives and how we judge things, Dr. Bruce Lipton explains this very well. Acknowledging this, we come to the conclusion that if we are in stress mode and believe negative things about ourselves, we can even develop diseases like cancer.
Have you got time to define who you are? Do you really know yourself? Our life decisions are run from the subconscious, only 5% of our actions are taken from the conscious mind. Basically the subconscious runs the show with the auto pilot mode¨ this is key in order to understand our life decisions.
We create our perception of the world in the womb, based on what mom is experiencing, this creates the hormones that the adrenal gland secrete. If is under stress secretes cortisol, if she is happy secretes serotonine…
Now that we understand this it is important that we analyse our thoughts and what we are repeating to ourselves when the subconscious is ruling most of our lives.
We are what we think and this determines most of our living, the habits and routines that we do everyday, most be look with deep care. Do you know that the mind has approx 88.000 thoughts per day and that these thoughts repeat constantly in our head day by day?
This is why in order to have a new Self you need to die to the past versions of yourself that you create to survive. And I´m not talking about the superficial definitions set on you, I mean that you take charge of your life and don’t allow nothing to control you.
It´s Ok you didn’t know better but that is no longer serving you.
Since ancient times our ancestors have had veneration to the stars, the patterns and influences that this have over us: ¨As above so bellow¨. Building observatories, temples and entire calendars to track special astronomical events to know when the energy would be propitious for conscious to happen. In nature everything is a cycle, the great teacher would be nature, understand and transcribe this to our lives is a most. This is why the day of your birthday is so important because it is when your Soul choose to come into this plane and experience life. The exact moment of it, provides you with the unique elements that you need in order to accomplish your purpose. It is like you have completed the 365 days cycle, preparing to meet the Sun again, in the exact same degree circling around the Sun or dancing towards it like the Spiral of life a Fibonacci encounter¨. https://youtu.be/ESi9d4K9Alo?si=CZHDFsS2-0ObvJG3
Usually the 3 months around your birthday you can have breakthroughs, or even so have near death experiences, because it is like your battery is coming to an end only to be charged again.
When your Soul decided to come to this planet and incarnate, you were given the opportunity to choose your parents, country and time line, based on your qualifications and learnings from past lives. (If you believe in reincarnation) which is based on the most antique teachings we know so far from India and the Vedic traditions, having an extensive philosophy about it.
So until age 6 you basically absorb everything from the environment and this has shaped your subconscious, creating and replicating on and on, subconscious mind is all the habits we have, this mind acts from inertia. If we don’t reprogram our mind it is like living on kids mode stuck on the wounds that generation through generation has repeated. Until we decide to take charge and change that behavior gaining the power of consciousness.
All the limiting beliefs and the blockages you have had with money, health, relationships are coming from that chapter of your life and what you´ve learned from your parents. Most of us have not had the ¨perfect¨ parents but it depends on us now that we are grown ups to educate ourselves and examine our mind in some sort of way. In order to accomplish our goals.
The right way to celebrate your birthday would be to meditate and to do something you love surrounded with nature giving thanks for life. To meditate on your decisions, attitudes from the past year to select what behaviors are valuable and what is not for your highest good. By doing this you attract more beautiful conscious experiences.
We have to give us the right to change and not necessarily you do this once a year, better if you do it constantly moment to moment day by day. This would be greater, is like quality control on yourself. If so, we would create a better world not run from the collective unconscious but from the beautiful state of a blissful mind.
This differs from what the system teaches us, that we have to celebrate¨ drinking, waking up the next day with a terrible sensation of wasted our precious energy. I want to encourage you to make the decision of creating an Altar where you devote yourself and have yourself celebrated in a wonderful way. Gathering beautiful elements of your preference…
I would like to revive and bring some ancient pagans traditions and how they honor this day. Practices that now have been commercialised stolen all the magic from it.
Respect your body, love yourself first and everything will be added to you in a loving way, coming from the heart space frequency. Disconnecting from this is what makes us divide it and therefore weak. Don’t allow anybody to define you or tell you the meanings that only you should do. What feel right and what feels wrong should be determined by your own. Forgive yourself and the old versions and personalities. You do not have to continue the same as yesterday. Don’t continue with the illusion, you do not owe explanations.
Awakening from the nightmare we all are hypnotised into is the greatest objective of all. We are part of a cosmic weave. Make your every day step forward in a more beautiful and graceful way, so that no matter what, you move towards progression and acceptance towards light.
To recreate myself is something I understand very well. I’ve had to change identity many times and start all over again, to the point I now don’t stress at all and embrace it. Don´t be afraid of letting go and start from 0. It is like having a white canvas and you get to choose which colors (emotions) you want for your painting. Make sure you always choose the color of Love!
Ritual and the Altar:
In every well developed Ritual you have to start by cleaning the energy. Start by doing this with your body, mind and the place you inhabit:
Cleansing Ritual:
Better on Tuesday or Saturday when the sun is on his highest pick at 12:00. This cleansing most be done prior to your birthday.
Ingredients:
Salt is one of the most powerful elements and is very easy to find. Start by doing a Salt scrub you can add Rosemary or Thyme.
Take a bath and clean the house with this ingredients as well.
Create a Mantra or vocalize declarations of purification words by doing so.
Example:
¨ I am a being of Light, I only allow pure energies into my energy field all the low vibrations have to be transform, cancel, cleansed, elevated into high frequency. I choose only Loving, compassionate energies. I banish all the energies of the past that are no longer serving my highest Self. I declare I am a free Soul¨
