A Different Perspective of Self-Esteem Issues
For more than twenty years, I have been working with clients to help them resolve their personal issues. By far, one of the most common issue that surfaces is their perspective of their personal worth, commonly coined, “Self-Esteem issues”
As a Celtic Spiritual Elder, my views often evolve from my spiritual perspectives of issues. The reason is simply that all of life is a spiritual manifestation. To truly understand, any personal issue has a spiritual core.
What was the core belief that our spirit accepted that allowed the negative emotion to become manifested into a belief? Where did it come from? How was it perceived?
To gain a true understanding of this, we need to delve into the journey of our personal spirit after it leaves our physical essence.
Through the understandings of my Ancestors, once our Spirit separates from our physical form and becomes absorbed into a much higher dimension of existence.
Because it no longer has a physical form, it has no physical needs. It becomes immersed in a dimension of Total, Pure Unconditional Love, where all sustenance is encapsulated and given in great abundance. Often this dimension is referred to as Heaven.
This Love is the pure essence of positive energy. It is Light.
As the spirit had traveled through the dimension of physical existence, it absorbed lots of negative energies.
There is a very important Universal Law that states, “Positive Energy Consumes Negative Energy.”
Through this law, the negative energies that accumulated during our physical existence become absorbed into the light. Thus the Spirit becomes purified and becomes the essence of Light, once again.
The Issue Begins
Many have accepted the understanding that our Spirit chooses to return to the physical world in order to gain new understandings that are needed for its Spiritual advancement.
Sometime prior to the age of three, the spirit of the toddler begins to look around and begins to wonder where all the wonderful Unconditional Love is that it was so accustomed to. The toddler looks all around, seeing all the anger, fear, and sometimes even rage that the world seems so willing to disperse at any given moment.
After a while the toddler just begins to believe that “I must no longer be worthy” settles in and it begins to become accepted as its new truth.
However in actuality the light of Unconditional Love can never be separated from the child or anyone else for that matter. That Light is our aura. And the Aura is in actuality our Spirit.
The unconditional love of God, Itself can never be taken away, however, it can be diminished, simply through non-acceptance.
You see, humanity is the only animal in existence that was given the gift of choice. When the conscious mind chooses to accept the negativity of self-doubt, the Higher Self is forbidden to intervene; even though its mandate is to protect and guide its subject. It must always respect the gift of choice.
The Implications
Low self-esteem is one of the most common issues that people struggle through today. The implications are endless and tend to pave the way to issues such as:
• Alcoholism
• Drug addiction
• Personal relationships
• Poor work performance
• Severe health issues
• The lack of feeling worthy of the simplest joys in life
• And most tragically, suicides.
Often the medical profession addresses this issue through medications that only leave the patient feeling empty, and even more worthless.
Psychotherapists struggle with finding the answers to this often totally debilitating condition that raises havoc in so many people’s lives, not only on the person, but on the entire family.
The Time is Now to Begin Addressing This Issue From a Different Perspective.
This is much more than an emotional issue. Low self-esteem impacts the Spirit, itself, by denying the unconditional love that the Creator provided us with.
In my last book, “The Earth, Sky & You, Self-Healing With Confidence” I shared, in detail a daily technique, that within minutes re-energizes the Aura & Spirit and brings them back to the levels that they possessed in our origin.
When the aura is at its natural heightened levels, focusing one’s concentration on the intensity of the light of the aura, the acceptance of the unconditional love becomes child’s play.
Once the choice has been made to accept the positive energy of the light & love of the aura, the Higher-Self eagerly complies, and this new persona of positive self-worth becomes manifested.
The law in physics of “Positive energy consumes negative energy” works its wonders and the negativity of low self-esteem becomes transformed into a truer understanding of who and what the person truly is. A child of the Light.
A little over a year ago I had a client come into my office by the name of Amanda. She had suffered with an extensive history of issues throughout nearly her entire life. Her home life was anything but admirable. The dad was a heavy drinker and the mom had spent most of her life on psychotropic medications. Neither of her parents provided her the neutering that any child deserves. Consequently she became resentful and defiant.
By the age of 10 her mother had the family doctor put her on heavy duty medications.
By twelve, she was sent to a school for problem children, and the potency of the medications increased dramatically. At sixteen she was on heavy doses of opioids, and eventually she became a heroin addict. Eventually she became suicidal, and went through several attempts. By this time she thought that she couldn’t even do that right.
By the time she came to me she was in her late twenties. Thankfully she had moved past the heroin issue, and was on methadone. A lifetime of over medications had raised severe havoc on her entire body. Her most sever medical issue had been caused severe damage to the muscles in her stomach, and was on feeding tubes, because her body could not digest food.
When she walked in, she broadcast lifetime of resentment and anger defiantly. The initial issue she came to me for was smoking cigarettes.
It wasn’t long before the low self-esteem surfaced and I taught her the Aura Healing technique.
At first her defiant nature limited the benefits, but within a few sessions, the new affects began taking hold, and her attitude softened.
As a self-defense mechanism against change, her stomach issues became exacerbated and she was admitted into the hospital. Unfortunately the hospital began administering heavy doses of an addictive pain medication. She often bounced between a medical unit and intensive care as her body fought to reject her treatments.
For the next seven months she remained in the hospital, and faithfully I would come and work with her, normally three times a week.
My goal was to alter her negative frame of mind, into a more positive and productive mindset.
I believe that is when Spirit lead me to a new understanding of the Aura’s potential. The essence of the Unconditional Love that the aura possessed started showing tremendous potential, and the more we worked on it, the facial expressions began softening and her defiant nature diminished.
Today Amanda beams of self-confidence and love of self. She became open to the benefits of a simple mantra. “I can’t imagine life getting any better, and yet it always does.”
The most interesting component of this was that she finally realized that both parents, regardless of their own personal issue, has always loved her deeply, and just didn’t know who to deal with her defiant nature. I am not suggesting that it is a Story Book relationship, but It is a family that love is easily recognized.
