Subconscious Sabotage
Colette Van Heerden

Having to deal with the same issues over and over again is frustrating and demoralising, especially when you're doing your best to avoid repeating mistakes. Subconscious patterns hold the key to understanding why you may find yourself trapped in repetitive destructive situations.

I have these belief systems that seem to come up and out of the depths of myself, dragging me down in a swift moment of what feels like automatic responses to critical moments resulting in defensiveness & what can be perceived as aggression.

 
These belief systems, or what I call BS (yes, short for bull sh1t), include thoughts like:

 I know better than someone else
I’m being hurt, criticised and I’m not important when someone points out something about me they are not happy about
If I communicate my needs, I’m going to be rejected and dismissed, so I rather not share my needs
I need to be a good person, keeping others happy, to be accepted by others
And so on...

 
We all have these insidious little mental chatter critters that jump up out from seemingly nowhere, tripping us up, letting us fall flat on old paving stones of past perceptions and experiences that hold memories of pain, rejection, betrayal, isolation, fear and more.

 
None of us enjoy these moments, where our reactions turn oftentimes innocuous moments into mountainous molehills because we haven’t before unearthed the feelings and belief systems by questioning their truth. If we were questioning the truth of these faulty beliefs, double checking whether they still apply, asking ourselves whether they serve us, we could instead bring in our (soul) reponse(ability) to treat the present moment in a way that isn’t based on old association memories and re-triggered perceptions of past experiences.

 
When we react instead of respond, we are utilising the past when we could rather be objectively facing each situation based on its own merits. None of us like being judged, least of all our current relationship moments that are being judged through the eyes of our past self.

  
So. How can a website and its reading products assist you in unearthing these belief systems that are so buried as to be termed sub and unconscious? How do you find something that you don’t know to look for?

  
Last night, I had a brief moment with my boyfriend where he raised some issues his daughter was having regarding my home environment. Instantly my defensive self rose to the occasion (agh, not again!!!) and rapidly elevated my heart rate while I quickly explained straight forward logical thoughts as protection against the criticisms & judgements with my usual “Colette, you’ve failed at keeping everyone happy” BS happening internally. This morning, so I could understand last night better, I referred to my Earthbody reading results specific to Subconscious Sabotage, Aspects Influencing my Family life as well the Health reading, so that I could check out, for my current location, what BS I was being supported in changing perspective on. It wasn’t surprising therefore, to read, that in this location of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, where my home is, I’m pushed to:

 
Prohibit people and things getting under my skin
I’m asked to communicate and express myself clearly and without guilt
I would do well to reconcile both my inner world and outer world
Be aware of how I protect, and am protected, and how I feel like I belong
Be especially aware of how accepting response-ability for my own feelings
Having read and reread this reading result a few times before, last night I was able to shift from reactive defensiveness to my preference for harmony and fairness through choosing to respond with hearing everyone’s story; making clear my needs for my home environment to be loving and community oriented; being comfortable that I have a right to protect my sense of self through my external manifestation called my home. Mountainous mole hill situation possibly resulting in separation averted! Everyone instead enjoyed a delicious supper together, laughing and coming back to a sense of family and group again.

 The Earthbody readings, using your personal astrological birth chart information, can point you in the right direction in not just identifying these areas of faulty patterns and BS, but also highlight which ones to be aware of, which ones to be mindful of and most importantly what to focus on to be able to transform those faulty BS patterns into a more whole and conscious way of accepting and being yourself in your life.

  
The HEALTH reading uncovers the subconscious patterns that can and do affect your physical health, along with unconscious patterns that can be your pitfall emotional trap resulting in physical ailments. The FEELING BRAIN reading brings your attention to the debilitating issues that come up over and over again. In this reading you receive pointers to be mindful and aware of.

  
Your location offers insights into the specific nature of these beliefs and through this awareness an opportunity to change their debilitating effects. The objective of your life’s journey is to recognise your ‘lot in life’ and grow through it as opposed to being trapped in it. If you are caught up in repeated cycles that bring you pain, you are bound by your 'fate'. The cycle is a circle and you’re like a mouse on a merry-go-round. When you realise that your life is worth more than emptiness and suffering, you step off the wheel. Options open up to you from which you are free to choose a different experience.

  
As always, Earthbody is a valued tool for me that satisfies my ongoing need to know myself and understand better why I do what I do. With that knowledge, and a growing sense of what I want my life story to read like, I’m choosing to change perceptions, stay open to my issues being nuggets of base metal waiting to alchemise into gold and in this way I’m enjoying and trusting the fruits of my self work.

 
Leave a comment regarding your thoughts about your reading(s) results. Contact me if you require assistance in applying reading results to your current life situations. My wish for you is that you can leave the BS behind in your past life so that you can dance with pleasure in getting to know yourself and accept BE-ing you, a shining light on Earth.

 
Sending love

 
Mwah!
