The Power of Agreements serves as a primary tool for increasing greater levels of ease in my Life in each and every moment.
My subconscious mind is like a three year old computer. It hears every word I speak very literally, with every tonal vibration I consciously or unconsciously make. It creates the reality I experience in the 3D world. Our conscious minds can compute between 40 to 2,000 bits of information per second. Our subconscious minds process between 200,000,000 to 4,000,000,000,000 bits of information per second!
With clarity and specificity, I command the Life I choose and desire through every agreement I create. Not by happen stance, luck, or "out of the blue", I AM who I am because I say so and agree to. What I put in is what I put out.
Without clear agreements, my reality is coming into existence without much of my own input. This could look like Life happening to me instead of for me. Vague agreements create chaos and frustration, clear agreements with specificity create ease, trust, and security.
For example; If my vague agreement with myself is "to stretch daily", my subconscious mind will playfully find numerous ways to stretch daily; Like the Truth itself, the distance between what I desire the most in my Life, and the amount of energy it'll take to actually move forward. This way of living in vagueness really sucks.
As I upgrade my previous agreement to : "I check in and feel my physical body every morning to make a choice on which way to play and warm up my body accordingly." My subconscious hears me with specificity and has me remain in playful Love for my temple, in order to find greater levels of Peace, Ease, and Trust in my Life everyday.
/ / NOT / /
The use of the word "not" creates a separation from my God self and my "me" self. If I make an agreement based in what is -not- the agreement, my subconscious mind will compute what's not happening without clear direction as to what I really desire and agree to. For example: "I won't ever let that happen again." "I don't eat carbs." "I can't listen to country or rap music."
Here's one of my own kerfuffles.
I really love to move my body. I danced 17 years professionally with an agreement to maintain my physical posture and muscle memory nearly everyday. As I began to retire, I had a fractured rib and sprained big toe to deal (support) with. A part of my discipline and identity as a dancer was to constantly stand in default positions whether in my kitchen or in public putting extra pressure on my joints. I would sit into one hip, with my foot below turned outward, toes facing out, while the other foot I jammed the top of it into a pointed foot on the ground, knuckles and all. The more I pushed my foot into this curl, the more it looked like a croissant pastry. What an odd thing to do yet this felt was normal and a part of my vague agreement to maintain my dancing posture. At this point in my retirement I made a new agreement to "not stand like that or do any dancing moves for a year."
So I didn't.
Did my subconscious get a clear agreement as what to do? Nope. My mind chatter got louder as I stood idle "not dancing" waiting to heal my injuries. My judgements of what I have to do overtook the place of not doing what I was so accustomed to do. Great! My subconscious mind was still working to produce what I chose in that moment. I created greater levels of frustration and resentment towards my me and my dancing career.
As I make agreements today, like the upgraded one above, it's crucial to speak -what is- to my three year old computer instead of what's not. I choose to take coordinated action and experience the beauty of Life by the use of my Agreements. As I choose ease in my Life, I still love moving my body with specificity as to how to make a choice which blesses me with greater levels of ease and mobility.
Finally, making agreements about breaking agreements is required too. When I break my agreements I say, "Oops!", take a breath, and simply recommit to what I choose. Shit happens. Who loves being in a right/wrong conversation within themselves? That's for next time.
Many blessings to you all,
