Deconstructing Doubt
The Healing Mantra Deck, by Matt Kahn
Today’s invitation is to focus on releasing doubts, worries, and concerns and to recognize that our beliefs are the biggest obstacle to the life we wish to live.
Often times we live in “what if” to the extent that it becomes crippling because we cannot control every variable or predict every outcome. We have been taught that we must know the answer to the story before we embark on the journey; we must know everything that is going to happen before it happens; we must be able to predict and account for each twist and turn. We have also individually and collectively been indoctrinated that we are not enough and that we do not deserve. Further, we have learned that everything has to be hard and that suffering is required for success.
Today, Spirit invites us to step out of “what if” and to step into “what is.” This is a reminder of our power in the present. We are encouraged to bring our attention to the present and what can we focus our energies upon in this moment to foster our goals and dreams. This includes following our joy and preference in each moment no matter what we are doing. Remember, contrary to what we have been taught, we are NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW.
The journey really is the destination!
This is also an opportunity to embrace greater perspective and to look at our experiences from many facets. When we are willing to do so, we discover that any challenge we encounter is not failure or mistake, rather it is an opportunity to grow and expand. Sometimes it is protecting us and offers us an opportunity to recalibrate and take an easier path - we might not have seen the other path unless something “went wrong”/contrary to our plans. Each shift is offering us just that - an opportunity to shift and level up.
As we deconstruct doubt, we free ourselves from old narratives, as well as old beliefs and patterns of behavior. We also have the opportunity to transform our insecurities and to realize that being nervous and being excited are the same frequency - they simply have different labels ascribed by our brains. This is a summons to see through illusions, polarity and density so that we may embrace more of our authentic selves.
This is a request to align with our inner truth and to live from our hearts. This alignment then allows us to offer aligned energetic frequencies, rather than opposing frequencies. Concordant frequencies result in faster manifestation and greater synchronicity.
Take the time to quiet the mind and connect with your heart space. Call forth the presence of your guidance team, as well as the energies and support of Gaia. Allow yourself to feel these energies surround you in love.
Ask your guidance team to reveal to you where you have doubts. Ask them to reveal to you where these doubts originate. Are you able to feel back to when you first felt the same feeling? What do you notice?
Are you able to see the difference between the “what ifs” and allow yourself to focus on “what is” in the present moment?
What are you inspired to do today?
What is calling to your heart?
What is calling to your inner child(ren)?
Ask your guidance team to help you see challenges you have experienced that have fostered doubt from a higher perspective. What do you notice?
How do you react to the statement above that “[o]nly my beliefs are in my way?” How does the statement feel in your body?
Are you willing to challenge and let go of a belief you’ve held that causes doubt?
You are supported each step of the journey. Be easy as you explore this and know that more freedom awaits.
You are love and you are loved!
