For many new business owners, a combination of factors can seem to converge and slow the progress of finding financial freedom. At Technalink, we often talk about blockages, which is essentially when we as individuals find that some internal variable is also impacting our external results. Although entrepreneurs at any stage of their endeavor can face this challenge, people with new start-ups are most often plagued with doubts.
It is perfectly natural to have these feelings, regardless of whether you are experienced or new, but what is truly important is that you can stay mindful of the feelings in order to examine them. In facing their meanings and allowing ourselves to embrace the messages, we can also become stronger in our endeavors and experience better professional progress.
Letting Go Of Blocks To Success
Visualizations can have powerful impacts on the way we perceive the world around us, as the insights that are gained during the practice also help to realign our energies with those around us. The following can be ideal for both examining the causes of blocks, and overcoming them.
It is best to sit upright, but it is also important to be in a comfortable position, as the visualization can take a while. Spend a few moments focusing on breath, and beginning to find a more natural and relaxed pattern for inhales and exhales. With closed eyes, begin to relax by slowly counting up from one to ten.
Once you have reached ten, take another few deep breaths, and imagine yourself in front of a movie theater that has a marquee stating “The Success Story of ____________”, which of course stars you. As you enter the theatre, you buy some popcorn and settle in, and the movie begins to play.
However, in this visualization, all aspects of life are presented, including an exploration of childhood or past situations that resulted in feelings of anger, fear, or guilt. As these scenes begin to play, identify with the emotion in the experience, even if they are painful, and once they are identified, you will throw a piece of popcorn at the screen.
In your mind’s eye, you see the experience now as a cartoon, and are able to disempower the emotions that arose from the remembered situation. In doing this, you are also releasing a block that has controlled your success, by seeing it for what it really is; an experience that has passed and no longer has power.
In progressing through the visualization, some people may wish to continue through to present times in the movie, and even move towards future tense. The extent of the meditation will also depend on how much energy the participant has to work through these emotional images, but it can be performed as necessary as desired.
However, in ending the meditation, as the movie comes to a close, it is important that the final scenes replay your ability to overcome the fears and blocks that have been holding you back. With that final scene of victory, an usher will come up to you and hand you a trophy that states, you are a winner! At this point, breathe evenly and count back from ten to one in order to return to present consciousness. The internal work of this process will carry over to your ability to find greater progress in your profession.
