What are psychological blind spots? They are parts of us on the mental and emotional levels that we cannot see or are not aware of. Simply because we’re too close to the subject, and that’s us.
So, for example, we are in the habit of saying some things, or we are in the habit of doing some things and we are not aware of them because we are doing them unconsciously. And we can only see them if someone else points them out to us. We need someone else, standing outside of us to tell us exactly where our blind spots are.
If you ate a cake and the cream fell on your nose and you can’t see it, there’s no way you can see it yourself unless you’re standing in front of a mirror. So the people around you act like mirrors. They tell you what’s on your face.
The thing is, we don’t have a problem with people telling us what’s on our faces because we don’t want to look silly with cream on our noses, so we don’t mind people telling us. BUT, we have a big problem when someone tells us about our mental or emotional blind spots. We get nervous and say: ‘who are you to tell me that I am like this or behave like this?’, etcetera.
On the personal development route, we need to be a little more open to people telling us where our blind spots are. Here is a suggestion:
You could have a friend you trust do this with you. Create a buddy system where you meet once a week or once a month to do this exchange where you share with each other what you think your blind spots are. Now the trick with this is to not take anything personally because by giving someone permission to tell you your blind spots they are doing you a favor so don’t attack them in return! Talk about blind spots in a very objective way without attacking and without blaming, just addressing them by saying something like: ‘you know when this happens, you say that and I think it’s a blind spot, so it’s up to you if this is something you want to be more about. aware or if this is something you want to work on. The choice is yours, I’m not here to teach you, I’m not here to blame you, I’m just here to share.’
An example of a blind spot that I want to share is my own experience. You know how you get into spiritual beliefs and spiritual teachings that tell us that everything we say has to be positive. So my thing at the time was that I had to say ‘yes’ because it is a positive affirmation. So in my mind, I thought that saying yes would be a good thing. However, I kept saying yes to the wrong thing! That was a teaching spiritual belief gone wrong. He taught me the wrong thing, he taught me not to say no to the right thing. What happened was that I kept saying yes to the wrong things and eventually was overwhelmed with too much to do, too much on my plate not knowing how to say no! What a blind spot!
What do these psychological blind spots do to our psychic bodies?
What are the psychic bodies? Our psychic bodies are basically our energetic body. Our energetic body contains our emotions and our thoughts. When we have blind spots, guess what happens? There’s a good chance that if we don’t address blind spots, they’ll turn into stubborn spots.
Do you know the stains that we have in our bathroom, or on our clothes, over time the stain will change color and it will look worse and perhaps bacteria or mold will accumulate around it? The same is true of the spots on our psychic bodies.
If we allow self-development and mindfulness work to take a backseat and are unaware of our blind spots, over a period of time these musty energies build up. And what’s interesting is, according to the law of attraction, if you have a buildup of pride or anger in your psychic bodies, what’s going to happen is you’re going to attract even more anger, more pride energies, and more. a period of time, you get a psychic tumor.
A psychic tumor is like a physical tumor, it becomes cancerous on an emotional and mental level. These tumors are housed within the chakras and the energy body. They also find their place within the energy level of the liver, the stomach, the reproductive system (this is one of the most popular places where tumors find their home). Psychic tumors also create holes in the aura, allowing even more of these energies to enter our system.
I’m not being a fearmonger here, but I’m just calling them out because whether we’re aware of them or not, they exist. Sadness, anger, jealousy, they exist, you have experienced them, so where do they reside? Not your physical body, but definitely your emotional/psychic bodies.
You know how to shower or bathe when you are not physically clean, it is important to be able to do the same on a psychic level. Clear them through meditation. I like to offer you this free cleansing meditation, it’s available on my Facebook group (under the announcements tab): https://www.facebook.com/groups/onlinecoffeeteashop/announcements/
Most of my clients use them because it helps keep their energy bodies clean. You do not have to be religious or spiritual in any way to use the meditation, although there will be names mentioned in the meditation that may sound somewhat spiritual. If you don’t mind and just want something to help you as a visualization exercise to help you clear your psychic bodies, download it for your personal use.
Until next time, have a blessed day!
