CONCLUSION
I have learnt that children, and animals too, because they are so open, may be largely influenced by the adults around them. Therefore, when working with children or pets, use the affirmations both for them, and also for clearing the consciousness of the parent, teacher, relative, etc., who may be surrounding and influencing them.
Remember, the word metaphysical means to go beyond the physical, to the mental cause behind it.
As an example, if you come to me as a client with a problem of constipation, I would know that you had some sort of belief in limitations and lack, and therefore were mentally frightened to let go of anything out of fear of not being able to replace it. It could also mean that you were holding on to an old painful memory of the past and would not let go.
You might have a fear of letting go of relationships that no longer nourish you, or a job that is unfulfilling, or some possessions that are now unusable. You might even be stingy about money.
Your disease I would try to make you understand, that a closed fist and tight attitude cannot result in anything new.
I would help you to develop more trust in the universe, (that power that supplies your breath), to provide for you, so that you could flow with the rhythms of life.
I would help you to release your pattern of fear, and teach you how to create a new cycle of good experiences, by using your mind in a different way.
I might ask you to go home and clean out your closets, giving away all the useless stuff, to make room for new things. And as you were doing this, to say out loud:
“I am releasing the old and making room for the new.”
Simple, but effective.
And as you begin to understand the principle of release and letting go, the constipation, which is a form of gripping and holding on, would take care of itself. The body would freely release that which was no longer useful, in a normal way.
