How to Remove Root Beliefs from the Subconscious Mind: Step-by-Step
What is a Root Belief?
A root belief is a deeply ingrained perception or assumption about yourself, others, or the world. These beliefs often develop in childhood or as a result of significant experiences and operate at a subconscious level, shaping your decisions, actions, and reality. Root beliefs are foundational; they give rise to surface-level thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. For example, the root belief “I am not good enough” can lead to self-sabotage, procrastination, or fear of success.
Step-by-Step Process to Remove Root Beliefs:
Identify the Symptoms of the Belief
Start by recognising the patterns or challenges in your life that are linked to the belief. Look at recurring thoughts, emotions, or behaviours that seem limiting.
Find the Trigger
Reflect on specific situations that evoke strong emotions or resistance. This can provide clues about the belief’s origin and how it manifests.
Ask Key Questions
Use introspective questions (see below) to uncover the root belief. Write down your answers to explore your subconscious mind deeply.
Reframe the Belief
Once you’ve identified the root belief, challenge its validity. Look for evidence that contradicts it and create a new, empowering belief to replace it.
Repetition and practice are essential. Affirm the new belief daily, visualise it as your reality, and take aligned actions that reinforce the new mindset.
WHEN USING REPROGRAMMER/CONNECTOR CHANGE IN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND IS INSTANT BUT YOU NEED TO TAKE ACTION
You can use DM: Infinitely Repeater to enforce when you have it. You can create subliminals/positive affirmations related to subject.
Clear Emotional Energy
Use techniques such as emotional release, tapping (EFT), or breathwork to dissolve the emotional charge attached to the old belief.
DM: Emotional Replacer This field allows you to replace emotions. This is alchemy, so you transform existing into something else. Beliefs are tied to emotions.
Anchor the Change
Reinforce your new belief by embodying it. Take small steps daily that align with your updated perspective to make it part of your subconscious programming.
THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART AND THERE IS NO WAY AROUND. YOU NEED TO ACT, SPEAK AND LIVE LIKE THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE, NOT LIKE THE OLD VERSION OF YOU.
Five Key Questions to Uncover Root Beliefs:
What patterns or recurring challenges do I see in my life?
This question helps identify the outward expression of your root belief.
What does this situation say about me or the world?
Reflect on the underlying assumptions or judgements you hold about yourself or others.
When did I first feel this way, and what happened during that time?
Trace the belief to its origin, often in childhood or a specific impactful event.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION ALSO INDENTIFY EMOTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.
What would I feel or believe if this situation wasn’t true?
This question opens the door to alternative perspectives, making the belief feel less absolute.
What empowering belief would better support me in this area of my life?
This helps you create a replacement belief that aligns with your goals and values.
When using Replacer, it allows you to, as the name suggests, change belief.
Example of Applying the Process:
Identify the symptom: You procrastinate every time you get close to achieving success.
Find the trigger: You notice the procrastination starts when you think about presenting your work to others.
Ask questions: Through introspection, you uncover a root belief: “If I fail, I’ll be judged and rejected.”(YOUR INNER WORK)
Reframe the belief: Challenge this by listing times you succeeded and were supported. Replace it with: “I am capable, and my worth isn’t tied to others’ opinions.”(REPROGRAMMER)
Integrate the new belief: Repeat affirmations like: “I am confident sharing my success.” Take small, safe steps to present your work.(INFINITELY REPEATER)
Clear emotional energy: Use fields, breathwork to calm fear and EFT to release past rejections. (EMOTIONAL REPLACER)
Anchor the change: Share a small project with a trusted friend to build confidence.
When root belief is removed you can experience personality disorder. That means you will feel weird, like not yourself, and a bit confused. Why? Because your old version and new version aren’t the same person. You shouldn’t behave or think like the old you.
The issue is I see in some cases it’s not covered in this list ( I think) when you have a subconcious belief linked to a deep trauma (especially in your childhood) and you are even unable to seek help or use these tools to clear that belief/trauma and so trying to overcome those alone is very difficult.
In that case you would need some external help including treatment with a therapist/counselor, support group, etc having hypnosis with a certified therapist could help.
When a person is very close to their core belief and removes it to adopt a new one, they usually feel like another person, strange, or heavy (possibly even depressive). This indicates that it is not the core belief, and the subconscious has deceived the person with something to prevent change.
When a true core belief is removed, the person experiences relief and joy, as if breathing better and more deeply, has reached an AHA moment, and sometimes may feel a merging with the Universe, especially when working with beliefs about God.
If working with a client one-on-one, clients may begin to become nervous, irritated, start having panic attacks, or even become aggressive towards the therapist to the extent that they might want to use physical violence out of anger. This happens if the emotions from the client’s past irritant are projected onto the therapist.
These are indicators to monitor when working with people, and the therapist should push in this direction because it is the right one. After these beliefs are changed, joy and ease follow.
I went through therapy after my suicide, and I was very lucky because my therapist was very good. She was the first person I told everything (apart from a spiritual perspective) that has happened to me since childhood. I already knew CBT techniques, but for me, it was life-changing to be able to open up, knowing that my story would not burden her; she has her own therapist, and she is trained to handle cases like mine. I dealt with everything alone, always taking care of others. She was the first person who said, “I am here for you, and it is all going to be all about you and you only.”
We learned a lot from each other. I think everyone should experience that at least once in life.
I agree. Your submind will do everything to prevent change, because is trying to protect you.
When you become more self and look back at your old self, you can’t literally believe that this was you. Why would you ever act or think this way? We had it with my friend recently. We measured our progress, and it felt so weird that a year ago, we were completely different people. Shedding beliefs is like shedding personalities that were either coping mechanisms or projections of family and society. And that is often uncomfortable for others. Good girls and good boys are no longer easy to manipulate, have boundaries and won’t let anyone use them, and this is how you lose the wrong people in life and gain self. There is often a blockage here.
“If I will change, my family/partner will no longer accept me” and submind will sabotage.
Healing is like removing the bandage of the bleeding wound that never healed (but it was covered so you could pretend is okay), sprinkling it with salt, screaming from sudden pain, and feeling the salt go deeper and deeper, cleansing that part. The bleeding stops, you feel relief, and you don’t put on any bandage to cover up. You add soothing cream (self-care is essential) and allow this wound to heal. Then you wonder why you covered your wound with a bandage in the first place, slowing down the healing process and trying to protect your wound from external damage.
The guide you provide regarding the topic of beliefs is invaluable.
The thing is that we have thousands of root beliefs and tens of thousands more secondary beliefs, and sometimes it takes time, a lot of time.
That’s why I’m building a collection of beliefs and hoping that it will shorten processes.
When you remove the root and deal with the emotion that is associated with that, you don’t need to worry about secondary beliefs. This is a domino effect.
I think you do an excellent job with the fields and the processes they bring.
At first I didn’t understand how it worked and I didn’t believe there was such a thing…
