Attraction Mind Map

I had another 2 hour session with my EFT therapist. I never know what my sessions would reveal. This time, it had to do events that happened years ago that I never knew bothered me until today.

It became apparent after a while into the session that I had formed an imprint that “the world is not a safe place” at the time when I was 11 years old and that has affected my self confidence ever since. While trying to recall what happened at the age of 11, an image kept popping up though. I remembered that about a year or two back, I found an old photograph of mine when I was around age 10-12.

I had laughed when I found it in one of the drawers at my mum’s place. It was a picture of me in a hideous hairstyle. I had cut my hair ridiculously short and permed it. Against my better judgement. My mum had insisted that being skinny, I looked better in short hair and that I had to have it permed so that my hair wouldn’t look so flat. The reality was that I ended up with a hairstyle that made me looked much older than my age and in a style that was hardly fashionable.

I’m not sure how I must have felt then and consciously, I did not attach any importance to ever having had this hairstyle. I wouldn’t have even remembered about it if I have not found the old photograph.

But the EFT session revealed otherwise about my subconscious mind. At the age of 11, I had made up my mind at the subconscious level: the world is unsafe and that I have to always protect myself. It might also be that in reaching this conclusion, someone might have commented about my hideous hairstyle or that I had feared what others might say at that very tender age.

What were the consequences of having this thought or conclusion on the subconscious level? Lack of trust. Negativity. Anger. Fear.

On reflection, on a greater level of severity, a similar conclusion can be expected to form in a child in cases of rape, abuse, trauma or subordination.

Additionally, although the “hairstyle” incident appeared to be pretty insignificant episode in my life, it might have been a whole series of events that led me to make me a single conclusion.  Admittedly, the conclusion made then might have provided some level of protection and would have served a purpose in making me feel “safe”. But it was hardly necessary at this stage and if anything, would obstruct me in the way of positive thinking and for the law of attraction to work from now.
