Why repeat?

Energy flows where your attentions goes.  As Oprah Winfrey wrote in her book “What I know for sure”, ‘That because – for sure – what you focus on expands.  When you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it.’  Be aware of the emotions that dwell within, otherwise you can call them back to be repeated.  Holding together can be Schzoid.  Holding on can be Oral.  Holding up can be Psychopathic.  Holding in those emotions can be a part of a defence state known as Masochistic.  Holding back can be Rigid.

Karmic patterns can be simply repeated patterns unrecognised and unconscious, they repeat so the lesson can be learnt and another choice can be made.  Simply its about being conscious, learning and making the highest choice.

Thoughts that continue to cycle, can also have you repeating patterns or cycling back through the same lessons; sometimes called ‘stuck in a loop’.  The Buddhist version of this terminology would be independant origination: ’cause and effect’ or ‘the problem of suffering and how to free ourselves from suffering’ or ‘affiliation, action and sufferings’.   Dali Lama suggests “if this then that, if not this, then not that”.  Break the cycle.

Ways to break the cycle.

1. Come out of denial and be aware.

2.  Stop it.

3.  Choose a new focus.

4.  Be grateful – for it was just a lesson, and all lessons bring gifts, once learnt.  Reset your energy, complete a chakra balance.

It seems too easy, and it is, once you get the AHA.  Have you had the AHA moment yet?

Another way is to notice your needs, within the pattern or lesson.  Be mindful, and observe your pattern from a neutral space.  What are your feelings within the pattern when needs are met, and when they aren’t?  Free of an agenda, can you state your basic needs, and often needs are the basic lesson within the pattern.

Eg.

MINDFULLY observe:

FEELING only – WHAT needs ARE being met:  e.g. Moved, confident, engaged, excited, exhilarated, grateful, inspired, hopeful, exuberant, joyful, cal, refreshed

When needs are NOT being met, WHAT do you experience: e.g. annoyed, angry, disgusted, uneasy, detached, tense, embarrassed, tired, sad, vulnerable, scared, frustrated,

WHAT is your Basic NEED or lesson within the pattern:  e.g. to be heard, autonomy, empathy, mourning, honesty, inclusion, meaning, safety, respect, community, contribution, mutuality, authenticity, transparency, acceptance, to be valued, play, support

Be Mindful, sometimes repeating is also about going to a greater depth.

If you need assistance identifying, ‘why you repeat’, just ask.
