Thoughts on Thoughts

Literally, the only reality one has is made up of one's thoughts.

Meditate on this sentence for a minute. 

If this is true, which I believe it is, then understanding how thoughts create experience is crucial to good mental health and happiness.

There are books out there that tell you the opposite is true. They tell you things like your thoughts are not your reality.  They tell you further to be careful to only think positive thoughts. Thinking negative thoughts, will attract negative results, they claim. This sounds like a cacophony of noise to me when I hear this from "experts".

My question is this: Is it the thought, or our feelings about the thought, that are our impediments to manifesting the reality we seek? Or is it the endless effort we expend trying to change thoughts and feelings that impede the ability to manifest that which we seek?

In my own life, I proved the latter to be true.

As long as there are experts telling people to change their thoughts, and their feelings about their thoughts, there will be many people clueless about how to manifest the reality they seek. It will also keep unnecessary professional change agents employed.

My method for manifesting is to allow my thoughts to just be there. If they are negative, I notice it and tell myself that it was an interesting negative thought. If the thought makes me feel scared, for example, I notice it and ride the feeling out. There is no need to analyze any of it. I simply acknowledge my thoughts and subsequent feelings and then let it all go.

I have more energy this way which allows me to stop always trying to improve myself by manipulating and analyzing every thought and feeling. I end up lifting myself out of low moods quicker than before and I save lots of energy that can be used for creating the reality I seek.

It is not possible to be happy every minute, but this method keeps me from feeling like I am constantly walking in steel-toed work boots in cement every waking minute. Instead, I don't fight my thoughts, or my feelings about my thoughts.  My thoughts are literally the only reality I have and I can learn to coexist and not react to each and every thought. For me, life works much better this way.

I am grateful to have learned how my thoughts create my own experience. I now have found my own way to handle these pesky creatures called thoughts. I let them be. I feel what I feel. My higher self decides to let it go. I move on to a fresh thought and a fresh feeling. 

This allows more energy to concentrate on forward motion and less on fixing myself. This gives me lots more time and energy for reaching outside of my thoughts and moving intuition and bringing fresh healing possibilities forward. This is what birthed my intuitive art practice that I use to visualize the life that I want to manifest. I love to share the art and thought process I used to discover my inner healer, which is my free recipe for manifesting a juicy reality.

I have struggled with a lot of emotional pain in my life and many of us have a massive amount of pain to grapple with. You have a beautiful way of sharing how to reach outside of your ordinary mind into the "intuitive flow" by bringing new information forward for your healing through the poetry and art.
