Old Programs Running Your Life

While I am writing here about an issue with Sarah, her name could as easily be Most People.
 
When we grow up, we are raised to fit into “norms” – of a household, of a grade in school, of a church, of a culture. Some of us have had more control inflicted on us than others, through rules, rigid beliefs, criticism, and even abuse.
 
I see this “programming” show up in the energy body, including in the following ways:

How Programming Shows Up
 

1. We build elaborate energetic armature on which to build our personalities. All this personality development is the reality for our ego, one we develop to fit in and survive. This heavy and rigid energy goes through many chakras and has a strong inflexibility. It can take time to dissolve this rigidity, but important on the path to one’s authentic nature.

Inner Conflicts that Trigger

All of us have had experiences when we react strongly to somebody’s behavior in a way that is more volatile than the situation might warrant.

While stark, here is a good example of someone’s trigger point,  a strong, negative emotional reaction to something or someone.  It is of value as an example because the pattern is vivid. It also offers a moral compass so that we can feel compassion and avoid the common pitfall of blaming the person as over-reacting.

Choosing Bad Boys to Heal Past Lives

For your romantic relationships, do you find yourself drawn to brilliant, ambitious men or women who have a lot of emotional baggage? Are you attracted to this type over and over again, even compulsively?

Two female clients recently have both sought brilliant, emotionally wounded men as partners. Seeking the type of men who resemble James Dean or Ernest Hemingway. They date this type of personality exclusively, and for one, even marrying . There is a charge for them in this type of man, and romantic relationships that don’t include this component have fallen flat. 

One can swap out man/woman/they for any of the pronouns; the pattern is the same.
