The power of mirrors

Mirrors are very powerful tools to help you to understand what’s currently active in your vibration. Now, I’m not talking about mirrors in the literal sense, despite the image I’ve used for this post, but rather energetic mirrors, which reflect what’s going on inside you.

Carrie was working in a job she hated, and her boss was just awful to her, but not so awful that she felt she could do anything about it. She wanted to leave, but jobs were scarce, and she really needed the money.

When I met with Carrie, she told me what was happening with her work, and instead of talking about her job and her boss, I asked her about herself and about her inner self talk.

I asked Carrie if her words (both verbal and thought) toward herself were always kind and loving.

Carrie admitted that she’s often quite down on herself, mentally beating herself up for every little thing she’s done “wrong”.

It was then that I pointed out to Carrie that her boss’s treatment of her was actually a reflection of how she’d been treating herself.

You see, mirrors are basically just a reflection of what’s currently active in our vibration – they make it obvious to us that we’re creating a situation we do not want through our own inner dialogue. These mirrors can also show up in different ways.

I was once listening to an Abraham-Hicks audio when Esther talked about a situation where a hotel they had been using on a regular basis kept messing up their booking. They loved the venue and kept going back, but the hotel either double booked them, or messed up some other aspect of their booking every single time.

Esther was frustrated and asked Abraham what was going on and why were they constantly messing up her bookings. Abraham replied, “Because you’re expecting them to”. Abraham went on to say that the employees of the hotel had no choice but to mess the bookings each time ,because it was so strongly active in her vibration, and this was just a reflection of this vibration.

So how can we fix this? It’s really quite simple as I’m about to show you…

• Awareness is the first step. When you notice a situation you don’t like, have a think about what’s going on inside you. What are your thoughts towards the situation or towards yourself?
• If you have negative self talk happening, the next step is to stop doing this, and to replace those harsh words with kind, loving words.
• If you have an opinion of someone or something that isn’t so kind, consider shifting your perception of that person or thing by writing a list of positive aspects about it/them.

The positive aspects exercise is great because it helps you to see things from a completely different perspective, and what often happens when you follow this exercise, is that the person or situation seems to change, almost by magic!

In Carrie’s case, I suggested that she spend a few minutes every morning writing down every single positive thing she can think of relating to her job and her boss. Even the tiniest little things should go on this list.

In Esther’s case, she wrote down all of the positive things she could think of relating to the hotel and the staff. She noted how lovely the venue was, she acknowledged that despite their stuff ups, the staff always found a way to accommodate her in some way, among other things.

In both of the scenarios here, the situation did change, and the issue seemingly went away!

So mirrors are a wonderful tool which reflect back at you what you’re putting out, so if you ever find yourself in a situation you don’t like, then maybe consider that this could simply be a mirror which is reflecting where you’re currently at!
