Determining the Problem Vibration
In numbers 1 and 2, you’re looking to determine your problem VIBRATION… that which is creating what you don't want.
1) The first thing you'll want to do is describe the situation you consider a problem. "
What is it you don’t want?
Take note of what you are resisting, such as someone else’s actions and why. In other words, what is the feeling you are attempting to avoid in resisting what someone else is doing.
a) What is that?
If you were to view the problem as an outsider, studying your own energy in the situation, what do you observe about your own energy?
What is going on inside that this is a reflection of?
If you knew what the pattern is that is reflecting out as the illusion of your problem, what would that be?
Looking at it like this may help you to understand that, as physical as it feels, is truly an illusion that can shift in appearance fairly quickly to match your inner vibration.
b) What are the symptoms of this problem?
Even issues that are not health related have symptoms. A financial lack problem might have symptoms such as a negative balance in your bank account, for example.
Notice how you describe the symptoms of any physical problem as they are often a clue as to the inner process that is manifesting in your 3D experience.
Note: This doesn't have to be hard to answer. You may not describe the problem any differently than you would had you not considered it something to work through, but with that thought in the back of your mind that the idea that this is all just a passing phase, meant to help you in some way, you'll trigger the synapses in your brain that will help you move through it.
The purpose of these questions, asked in different ways, is to help you see how YOU create your life experience with your vibration (that is the result of life experiences which you’ll explore next).
2. What negative emotions are you experiencing as a result of the situation you wish to transform?
If a situation has triggered negative emotions, those negative emotions may indicate your overall vibration. Instead of looking at the person or situation as wrong or bad, look at their actions as the trigger that it is, awakening the pattern within you that wants to be transformed so that you can advance along your path. If you didn’t already feel inadequate (for example), you wouldn’t have resisted the way that you did when someone brought to your attention a mistake you may have made. Consider the negative emotions a wake-up call that something deep within you is looking to be healed so that you can achieve all that you desire.
a) Where else in your life have you felt like this? Is there an area in your life where you feel the same?
What was your state of mind prior to the onset of the ‘problem’? What was occuring in your life?
Considering this may lead you to understanding that the negative emotions you hold onto have an equivalent physical manifestation.
If you have a physical issue, when you describe it, consider where else in your life you feel the same way.
b) Can you think of the very first time you felt like this?
I like to ask, "What was the inciting incident that initiated the creation of said problem?".
There may have been a time earlier in life when you had an experience that resulted in the same kind of emotions. If you didn’t release those emotions, they’re still sitting in your energy field, being triggered by similar situations and needing some kind of acknowledgement.
When you consider the negative emotions, can you see how the vibration in them may be creating what you don't want? If you didn’t get the acknowledgement and the acceptance of who you are in spite of what happened to you, you will forever be in search of that, subconsciously.
Being in search of that will create many opportunities for you to gain that… in other words, a similar trauma or difficult situation will present itself until you learn what you need to do to feel accepted, which is almost always to be who you are.
The key is accepting yourself and this is why Gary Craig created EFT.
EFT is one way to neutralize negative emotions and works best with you know the core emotion that has created any imbalance. It is beyond the scope of this page to teach EFT, but I do have a brief tutorial available in my free eBook. I also think the words and energy of Ho’oponopono are very powerful, directed at yourself. “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
c) If you subconsciously chose this situation, why would you do so?
Asking this question may help you realize that the gift you gain in the situation will help you advance along your path in a way your spirit intends for you in this lifetime.
d) Is there someone you hold/held responsible for your feelings?
If you’re feeling like you’re a victim of someone else’s actions and are forever looking to punish (generally anyone who has triggered the emotions someone else initially created) until THEY acknowledge, repent and apologize for what they’ve done, you may be waiting a very long time.
When you do this, you hand all your power over to them.
Take back your power by imagining that they are providing this acknowledgement with the words of Ho’oponopono: “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
e) Can you think of a time or times when you caused someone else to feel this same way?
Generally, when we’ve experienced trauma, we hold onto emotions against the person or ‘kind of’ person that you feel wronged you. This may cause you to spew negativity toward those that trigger those emotions and yet when you do so, you really end up asking for more of the same.
What you put out to the universe, you get back.
If past life karma is at play, it is possible that a similar experience is being played out so that you clear your own karma from a past life by handling a situation in a way that is more aligned with who you are.
This is the kind of karma you don’t want.
Karma is cleared with repentance* and Ho’oponopono**, which is up to you. Please know that if you’ve wished ill upon anyone you feel wronged you, it is like performing the ill-wished act itself. Karma takes care of itself! If you’ve directed any kind of harmful energy either physically or energetically at anyone, you can send the words of Ho’oponopono to that person.
Make sure you direct it back to yourself as well as forgiveness of self is vital.
*Repentance is the activity of reviewing one's actions and feeling contrition or regret for past wrongs, which is accompanied by commitment to change for the better.
**Ho’oponopono is a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. Send these words to those who may have previously received negative energy from you and to yourself as well: “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. “ obtain the power meant for you and raise your hand in victory over that trauma, loving yourself and actually having gratitude for the part others played in this movie of your life.
f) Is it you or something else?
I have seen that when negative emotions are suppressed for a long time, they fester to the point of taking on a life of their own, actually creating an energy that’s shown to me as something separate from you, yet dwells within you. I call this ‘life’ a shadow entity. You might also consider this the ego.
You can imagine that your pent-up negative emotions have been suppressed to the point of needing expression and actually creating another entity deep inside you ready to fight against anything remotely similar to the inciting incident. It is likely this entity that has created any negative karma. With your resolve to let go of the past and move into a joyous, peaceful, loving, abundant future, you can say good-bye to this shadow entity. I always ask for Archangel Michael’s help in doing so. “Archangel Michael, please remove from my energy field, any entity that has contributed to the creation of [said problem] in my life. “
