*10 Ways to Transform Toxic Thoughts

Breathe Through Your Heart

Breathing is one of the simplest ways to transform energy. This is an exercise

you can do throughout your day: Place your hands on your heart and feel your

heart moving as you breathe. This is calming, and feeds the energy of love,

peace, and harmony in the world.

 

Look in a Mirror Before reacting to a challenging situation, try emoting

as you watch your reflection in a mirror. No one wants to see herself acting out

in a toxic way. You may feel silly, but don't let this stop you. Taking

ourselves too seriously is one of the causes of negative thoughts.

 

 

Express; Don't Send Stress can make us act in ways we might regret later

on. It is OK to have problematic emotions, and it's important to acknowledge

your feelings. Just be careful not to send the energy as a " poison dart " to

yourself, others, or into the world.

 

Think of a Favorite Face The energy behind your emotions goes to all

living beings. If confronted by someone who triggers problematic emotions for

you, think of a loved one and impose his or her image on the face of the person

challenging you. For example, you might work with the face of a baby, kitten,

puppy, or your favorite flower.

Watch Your Words Your words, like thoughts and emotions, have the power

to change your experience and the world we live in. This applies to both the

words we say out loud to others as well as self-talk. If you tell yourself that

you're not a good person, you begin to manifest this reality. Fill your mind

with positive words and this is how your life will unfold.

See the Divinity in Others Never pity others who you perceive as

suffering--this only pushes them deeper into a hole. When you see people in

their divine light and perfection you help give them the strength they need to

deal with their troubles. Remember that your perception creates your reality.

Connect With Nature We are a part of nature. When we are in a state

of stress we are cut off from the nurturing we receive from the elements --

earth, air, water, and fire (the sun) -- and we can actually become ill. Nature

is a great healer. Take time out and connect with the natural world whenever you

can.

 

Work With Water The life-force of water can wash away your pain, and the

simplest activities can have a healing effect. As you wash your hands, take a

shower, or stand in the rain, visualize negative energy flowing from you and

being transformed into light

Protect Yourself With Light If you feel someone is psychically attacking

you or being energetically hostile toward you, imagine a protective light

surrounding you. Some people think of a white energy field; I imagine being

enclosed in a translucent blue egg. Find a color that works for you. This will

protect you from any harmful energies being sent your way.

 

Respond with love You do not have to be the receiver of negative and

toxic energy from others. You can return the energy you don't wish to receive

with love. Responding with love will prevent you from moving into attack

position and creating more negative energy. It is only love that heals.
