How Negative Thoughts are like Pebbles and Stones.
For years, this is how I imagine negative thoughts. Negative thoughts are like pebbles and stones. Every time you think of negative thoughts you add the pebble or stone into a bowl that you balance at the top of your head. Some of us have bigger bowls and can hold more and for longer periods of time, but others can’t. Some people dump them out occasionally and some people don’t even realize that they are carrying those thoughts everywhere they go.
Eventually, the weight of the bowl can feel like the weight of the world and the negativity can infect and affect every part of your energy and life. It can affect the way you feel or speak or think about yourself and others. The bowls can get heavy, they weigh you down, and let you take them everywhere you go.
Positive thoughts on the other hand are weightless and feel like sparkles of light and feel like joy, love, and peace in the heart. Positive thoughts fill your heart and breath with energy and lightness and freedom.
How to Explore your Negative Thoughts
Imagine the bowl above your head.
Ask yourself... what’s in my bowl? What does it look like? What does it feel like? Is my bowl full, heavy, light, or empty?
Imagine gently grabbing the bowl and carefully taking one pebble or stone out at a time till it feels lighter. If you feel guided, you can examine each one and see what it represented for you, or you can remove the whole bowl from your head and imagine placing all the stones outside in the ground into the Earth to be recycled back.
Give yourself permission to let go of the negative thoughts, the old patterns, and what no longer serves you.
“I release and let go of any and all negative thoughts, old patterns that I have been carrying around with me in my mind, heart, and energy. I release them with love and replace them with love or whatever positive energy would serve my mind, heart, and energy the best at this time. Thank you.”
Say a blessing or prayer over the stones. Allow them to be recycled back into the earth for healing.
Listen to your Intuition!
