Clearing Past Programs and Beliefs
In the quest to harnessing our personal power and creating the life of our dreams, past programs and belief systems will surface and present themselves so that we can clear them. But how do we identify a past program or belief system? The easiest way is to notice when we are feeling stuck or there is resistance to what we are doing.
For example, in our last Inspirational Short, “You are that Powerful,” we talked of stating an affirmation statement because your thoughts are what you create. We said “I am so happy and grateful now that I buy a house.” And it’s been 6 months and there hasn’t been even a hint that it’s going to happen. Now some of it could be divine timing, but most likely you are blocking the progress with past programs or belief systems, or both.
Maybe it’s a belief that you don’t deserve a house; a program that states you have to have so much money in the bank first; the fear that if you buy the house you won’t be able to afford other things; or just the fear of increased responsibility and change.
You can discover what is holding you back from your dream by asking yourself a few questions whenever a block arises. Am I afraid of something? What’s the worst that can happen if I buy this house? When I think about buying this house, how do I feel? These can help pinpoint where the block is coming from. With acceptance and acknowledgement we bring these beliefs and programs to the surface and now we are ready to clear.
How do we clear them? It can be as simple as spending time meditating to release that program to the universe and replace it with the belief that you deserve a house of your own or the ability to buy a house without fear. Or it may take a little more, using energy work such as ThetaHealing to fully clear it because it could be attached to a past life.
Clearing past programs and belief systems is a constant practice, but as we move forward on our path we find roadblocks and transform them into doorways. And, it’s important to find the joy in the journey of discovery that these moments bring.

You Are That Powerful
Yes, you are that powerful. Your thoughts create. We’ve heard this from all the masters such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Abraham Hicks and don Miguel Ruiz. The problem sometimes comes in the believing it. In believing in ourselves and that this is our true power, our thoughts.
So why do we doubt this? Is it because it doesn’t happen instantly when we want? That we feel we are not good enough? Or maybe we are afraid? It is easy to blame someone else for our problems or our circumstances and very scary to think that it is all of our own making.
So let’s take a brief look at how the universe works. When we think a thought it creates a vibration. And this vibration attracts one of its own like-minded vibrations to you. This sets up an alignment in the universe to what you’re thinking. So if you think — “I am going to buy a house.” You are setting that in motion. Now what about timing? You can turn your thought into more of an affirmation statement such as “I buy a house now.” That can speed things up as it gives a little more direction to the thought; or even better add gratitude — “I am happy and grateful now that I buy a house.”
OK, so now all we have to do is keep that thought and allow divine timing to do its thing. And this can mean waiting. The universe knows no timing so two months is the same as two days or two years. But we are living in human-time and this means we need to add a little faith and focus to our process because as humans we can become impatient. So ignore any discouraging thoughts; stay with your affirmative thought; and notice signs that will guide you to your creation, in this case buying a house. It could be a job offer comes along and you need to move and find housing in another location (the push you needed to start the process perhaps); or a flyer comes in the mail for a real estate seminar (the guidance to maybe buy now or wait depending on the housing market).
The important thing is you stay with your thought, your dream, and it will happen in divine timing as all things do. Know it, feel it and have fun with what comes next.
