Shifting Paradigms for Behavior

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Th Law of Attraction is a highly regarded topic right now. My mentor and friend, Jack Canfield, a teacher in the Secret Movie is a great example of using the Law of Attraction to his greatest benefit. We are, all of us, pure potential which basically means we are Limitless Beings. And although the possibility of all potential is a gift weve been given, we often twist the possibilities against ourselves. According to our energetic impulses, our thought waves, we also tap into the Pure Potential of the Universal Mind from which all things spring. And that happens because of the Laws of Attraction and Connectivity of all things.

The hypothalamus, a grand piece of our Body Mind matches our emotional state for us and releases peptides which travel via the pituitary gland. These peptides travel in search of cellular recognition; in othe words the chemical response to your emotion travels to certain centers on the cells looking for a place to lock in. If the emotion you are experiencing is strong and familiar, your cells will be all ready to support your decision. In many ways it could be said that triggers, the emotions they stir up and then the cellular response to them will eventually become old friends.

Familiar triggers and emotions create patterns and habits because people tend to relate certain actions, people, places and experiences with strong feelings. This in turn sets up predictable behaviors because some things feel good and some feel bad. People generally go for the better or familiar feeling even if this doesnt net them the best results.

In brief it feels easier to do the same things, even if they don’t bring the best results because our neurological network gets wired for certain responses. And, although every human is limitless, most function at a very limited level because it feels normal or right to them. Daily behavior, then, becomes what a person believes to be true about them; and, it will continue to be true for them. Patterns of thinking also set up an agreement with the Greater Universal Mind that this is what we expect to be true for us.

Because the Universe, Source, is very neutral and non-judgmental, it can only respond in support. It sends to us people, circumstances and materials that will be a similar energetic frequency to the energetic frequency of the thoughts or beliefs we hold to be true for us. The stronger the feelings behind thoughts, the bigger the frequency produced, and the faster the response from the Universal Field of All Potential.

Depending on the habitual pattern, the thing that keeps happening, our job to break the habit is to replace one thing for another which will produce a more desirable outcome. In other words, if we can understand a behavior that produces a painful outcome, then we can use a reprogramming technique such as Sedona Method, TFT and EFT, Breath work with Journaling or EMDR to shift the energy around patterns of behavior. It requires effort and continual vigilance for a full 30 ” 40 days. That helps the neural network to send a new message for new behaviors. Thats how long it takes to break a neurological response pattern, a habit. Your intention is everything.

Many people, most people in fact, quit right before they achieve success. It is good to remember that in breaking old ways of Being we are breaking neurological responses. New neural pathways are created as old chemical responses no longer felt. Universal support is also there for us. Because of the Laws of Connectivity and Attraction the Greater Sea of All Potential is right there to support our efforts.

To get new results begin thinking new thoughts are true for you. Picture yourself in wonderful and creative ways and use this perfect script in the morning upon waking and at night before closing your eyes. Use these two most precious times of the day to re-create your life. You can also shift the energy around certain situations that didn’t go your way during the day. Simply repattern the day to work in your behalf completely and feel the feelings that compliment your best outcome. You are the Observer in your life. Remember that the Observer shifts the entire situation so decide what you want and get it.
