Seeds of Doubt By Richard Davis Once upon a time .... a choice was made. Actually, many times, on many things in our lives ... careers, relationships, goals, Love, to name a few. Making the choices created a change in our path at that time. Sometimes a small one, sometimes just a side trip, sometimes it is to open other doors and other times a major change is created. What were the driving forces of that change? Why was the change needed? Why did we accept that change? A seed of growth was planted. The feelings were wonderful, such energy was being created, our thoughts and feeling raced to explore how it would work, creating a wide, strong path. What was to come could be so wonderful and even better, shared! Interesting things happen on our paths, other seeds are plated in our thought process that bring us doubts. Like any seed, to germinate and grow, the conditions must exist to allow the doubts firmly root themselves, draining energy from what we had chosen. We start "feeding" energy into the doubts. A series of choices must be made to have the doubts grow and eventually become stronger than the original choices. There are often things in our lives we do not want to face. We push away and run from what we fear, often losing what we had wanted as a result. This can happen over and over again in our lives. Our self created programs, our fears our boundaries all create the reality we are in. Doubts bring up our fears and our reactions to our fears. A cascading series of events that, if fed energy, puts strong barriers on a path we chose that once had been wide and clear of obstructions. That path of exploration which could have lead to many things now has changed and even terminated. We carry with us at all times, packets of seeds of doubt. The varieties of doubts are used over and over again. Other people share their own varieties of doubts with us. These often take hold more strongly than our own if we respect that person's opinion. "If they said it, it must be true." Believing the doubts of others can be very destructive to our original choices. Like a weed in a garden it is easy to remove when it is small. When it is allowed to grow, mature and spread its seeds, the effort may reach the point where it is easier for us to just give up on the garden. Before it reached that "perceived" point of no return, there was a lack of care of the garden. We did not cultivate our choices and weed out the doubts, the fears, the illusions. Some doubts that are common. Did I make the "right" choice. (...is there a wrong one?) What did I lose by making this choice. (Relationships are big ones here!) Can I really do this? Is this the best for me? Doubts, like fears, are meant to help us look at our choices. If we cannot get past our doubts we cannot move ahead on a chosen path. The energy we give the doubts makes them grow stronger as we feed them more and more and not clean them out of our lives.. How do we get past the doubts and all that they bring to block our way? It is by focusing on the chosen path and not focusing energy on the doubts and fears as they come up. The more energy that you put into the seeds of doubt the faster they grow in all aspects of our lives. With healing, when the doubts become the reality, little real healing occurs unless enough energy is put into the equation to offset the doubts and still have enough to create the healing. It is also by looking at what causes the doubts. When we look at then we often find that doubts, like other fears, are no longer real for us, yet we still cling to them. When we consciously look at the doubts we can replace those programs with ones that will assist us on our path. Care to clear the doubts and replace them with what assists us? Energy healing modalities and my course ?Creating a New You? are strong tools to use on your journey of growth in this lifetime.
