What we do, say and think is often reflected back to us in order to show us what we believe, as we only see what we believe. This is a good way of checking in with your beliefs and attitudes. Are they in line with your true authentic self or is it time to do a clearing?
I had an experience this week that reminded me of this. My daughter’s teacher had bee suggesting that when I had time, I could pop in and do some drawings for the kid’s to paint. For a busy person, I found this to be a little vague. The paint that was to be used was to be sourced from a local DIY store here. When the teacher went in to collect the paint, the store person suggested she might like to pick out the colours and quantities she wanted from the sample pots. I was intrigued to hear the teacher make a comment about the vagueness.
What is around us is a reflection of ourselves, but we also take on the energy of our environment. An example that comes to mind occurred while I was cat & house sitting a few years back for a couple who were also having relationship problems at the time. While I was in their house, I noticed in the dining room a paper mache eye and mouth on the wall, but no ear. For me, this suggested that both of them were keeping an eye on each other and talking but not listening to themselves or each other. This not listening to each other was part of their problem, according to another source. Perhaps by including an ear alongside the other two items, the relationship may have had a better chance of surviving. In the above example, was the environment responsible for influencing the relationship or did the occupants influence the environment by not listening to each other so an ear was never going to be bought.
This is something to be aware of each day. Being mindful of what we say, think and do becomes such important part of our own development. When issues arise, sometimes it pays to stop, take a look around and see what issues are being reflected back to you that may need addressing in order to move forward.
