The article "New Life Soup" is about attraction, it has been released by Rebbie Straubing.
January always offers the hope of a fresh beginning.
We get a
glimmer of a feelnig about the new year to come.
We think that
this may just be the year that our dreams will come true. We
create resolutions and goals. We outline new ways of eating,
new exercise routines, new heights of romance and new
scheems for financial abundance. We set out to make a new life
soup.But our fantasies don’t always turn out the way we would have
hoped.
Our soup doesn’t always taste much different from last
year’s batch.If this has been your experience, you may be so focused on the soup that’s alreday in
your pot that you have no room for a new recipe.
Have you ever tried to “doctor up” a
tired, burnt old soup?
The old flavor keeps seeipng through. You cannot make a new
soup when the old soup is stlil in the pot. If you want a fresh new life soup, you must
empty the pot.OverflowingYou may know the story of the scholar who visits a Zen master to learn about Zen. As
the scholar rambles on about his lfoty Zen studies, quoting and footnoting, the Zen
master begins pouring tea for his guest. The tea fills the cup to the brim and overflows
onto the table and the floor. Even the scholar’s legs become drenched with the
continuuos flow of tea. The Zen master quietly keeps pouring the tea.Finally the
scholar exclaims, “Why, do you continue to pour when my cup is full to overflowing? ”The Zen master simply responds, “How can I teach you anything about Zen until you
first empty your cup?”As we sit down to write our New Year’s resolutions we reesmble the scholar in the
story. We are expetrs on our own past.
We can catalogue in detail all our failed
attempts at diets and execrise. We can outline for anyone who will listen how each old
relationship went bad. We can esaily lament all the things we want but can’t afford.
As
we ask the Universe to deliver all the good we desire, we are still occupied with our
past patterns and failures.The Universe, like the Zen master, offers and offers and offers.
The Univesre pours all
our good into our cup continually.
But how can we receive access to new ways of being
when we are so full of our old patterns? If we have the desire for this year’s results to
be different from the past, let’s consider emptynig the cup before filling it again.Empty New Year!A vacuum is defined as a space empty of matter. One of its houses is that, given the
opportunity, it will pull thnigs into it.
It wants to be filled. It is a hungry space.Unlike the cluttered space of your past, a vacuum craves input.
Unlike the mind this is
satiated and quite content with its fullness and knowledge (the way you might believe after
enormous meal), the vacuum wants new soup. We can create a vcauum by emptying
ourselves of the old in order to easily manifest the good we desire.By becoming empty, we create a vacuum.
We clean out our soup pot.
We empty our
cup and open to all the wisdom, joy and abundacne we have been asking for.
The first
step in creating a vacuum is letting go.Letting GoSometimes when we attempt to let go of an unwanted pattern, we clnig to it more
tenaciously than ever due to our attention to it. Let’s take a simpler and more effective
approach.
Let’s place our attetnion on the emptiness we desire. As we appreciate the sweet
simplicity of the epmty space, letting go happens automatically.
The emptiness
becomes more attractive than the mental clutter and the old patterns peel away
naturally. Your teacup, like in a Disney animation, emtpies itself.
You find yourself open
to brand new experiences.
You receive what you have asked for.The following three visualizations can help you create empty sapce. Use only the
one(s) that believe resonant with your current state. Spend time steeping your
awareness in these processes before you sit down to write your goals or resolutions for
the New Year.1. Washing the pot. Close your eyes and imagnie your pot of life soup. Get a sense of
the color and texture of your current life situatoin and the state of your consciousness.
Sense the aroma and flavor of your soup. Then, get a feeling for the new soup you’d
like to craete. How it is similar? How it is different?
Foucs mostly on the qualities you
value and would like to amplify in your new soup. You can keep this process all about
soup or you can inculde details that call to you. Finances, relationships, career,
can all form specific inrgedients in your soup. Once you have filled yourself with the
feelings of your soup, empty the pot and wash it out.
Look at the beautiful surface of
the clean pot and appreciate its emptiness. Feel the ptoential of a new soup.Feel the new
you.
Open your eyes.2. Empty room. Close your eyes and imagine you are in a big
emtpy room in a temperate climate. Sunlight porus in through crystal clear open
windows. The breeze gently blows through the white sheer curtains.
Let your mind
examine all asepcts of the emptiness. Enjoy the corners of the room, the center, the
walls, the ceiling, the windows. Relax into the peace of the beautiful empty space.Spend as much time there as feels enjoyable, then open your eyes.3. Empty space. The distance between the nucleus and the electrons of all atoms is so
vast that the whole physical unvierse we know and relate to as solid, is mostly empty
space.
Deepak Chopra has pointed out that we, ourselves, are msotly empty space.Using this information, close your eyes and imagine yourself as mostly empty space
with occasional tiny flecks of matter. Imagine this empty space as continuous with all
emtpy space.
Shift your identity from the flecks of matter to the space between them.
Relax into the vastness of your being. Tune your consciousness to your own beautiful,
empty space.
Open your eyes.Doing these visualizations before writing your New Year’s list will help you access your
ability to manifest that which you desire. The New Year offers a enormous emtpy pot. May
your new life soup be delicious!© Rebbie StrabuingYou can receive Dr. Rebbie Straubing's Free e-Course,
