Today I relistened to portions of the conversation between Lewis Howes and Rhonda Byrne (“The Manifestation Secret You Were Never Told” episode) and literally had an OMG moment when I heard Rhonda share the Neville Goddard technique of The Pruning Shears of Revision.
Rhonda shared how she has sometimes caught herself in gossip or a conversation she did not want and how she will go back and cancel it in her mind. (This reminds me of a phrase I learned from Kimberly Friedmutter’s book, “Subconscious Power: Use Your Inner Mind to Create the Life You’ve Always Wanted.” In it, she shares the method of saying “cancel, cancel” to any negative thought. The idea is said to originate from Jose Silva.)
What I realized is that I can use this method of pruning to revise my childhood; I can go back to an event — and speak to myself what was true of me in that moment.
How freeing this realization was:
I can see my childhood as other than how I have FELT it my whole life.
