How I Move from Darkness to Light
Working with polarities of the mind can be healing.
I’ve discovered a new way to deal with the darkness within me. When I'm feeling down or catch myself having dark thoughts, I know I can change the state of my mind by sliding along a scale from one polarity to another. All I need to do is remember that every feeling has an opposite — another end of the spectrum. And each end of one spectrum is actually the same thing as its opposite, just a different level of intensity or vibration. Love and Hate are actually the same thing, as are Scarcity and Abundance, and Sadness and Happiness.
What does it mean to move along a scale from one polarity to the other? I use a visualization of a line between one end of the spectrum to the other. If I am feeling sad, I imagine increasing the vibration of that feeling to lift myself up and traveling along that line toward the higher, more light vibration: happiness. It’s almost like a thermometer that goes from a low temperature to a high one.
Imagine feeling fear because you can’t pay your bills. You feel stuck and panicked. Take that feeling and imagine its opposite: stability. Now imagine moving yourself along the line between these polarities toward stability, the more desirable place to be. Ride a wave that takes you smoothly from the darkness to the light.
