Life is a series of cycles, patterns that repeat over time. These patterns can be seen in nature, in the rhythm of the seasons, the ebb and flow of the tides, and even in our own lives. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of fractal time and how it can be used to identify and understand the cyclic patterns of our relationships and the points of most potent opportunities for positive change in our lives.
Understanding Fractal Time
Fractal time is a concept introduced by Gregg Braden, a renowned author and speaker. He suggests that our lives follow natural cycles that can be calculated using the phi ratio, a mathematical representation that governs the proportions of our body and the natural world. This ratio can also be applied to cycles of time, helping us predict when we can expect the conditions of a significant emotional event to repeat in our lives.
The Power of Patterns
Braden uses his own life as an example to demonstrate how these cycles work. He identifies a significant emotional event in his life, the departure of his father when he was 11 years old, as the seed event. This event planted a seed of loss and betrayal in his life, which continued to manifest in various forms over the next three decades.
At the age of 17.798 years, calculated using the phi ratio and the age at which the seed event occurred, Braden experienced the loss of two significant relationships due to betrayal. At the age of 24.596 years, he experienced an academic betrayal and the loss of another significant relationship. At the age of 38.192 years, he experienced the loss of a business and a financial betrayal, as well as the loss of another significant relationship.
Breaking the Cycle
The pattern of loss and betrayal continued to repeat in Braden’s life until he was 44.99 years old. At this point, he experienced another business betrayal, but this time, instead of cutting ties with the people involved, he chose to communicate with them consciously and without judgment. This led to the healing of a friendship and a business relationship, which ultimately changed the pattern.
Braden’s ability to reconcile what had happened without judgment freed him from the cycle of loss and betrayal. His story serves as a powerful example of how recognizing and understanding the patterns in our lives can lead to healing and positive change.
Using the Fractal Time Calculator
So, how can you apply this concept to your own life? Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Identify a significant emotional event in your life. This will be your seed event.
- Calculate the phi ratio interval by multiplying the phi ratio (0.618) by your age at the time of the seed event.
- Add this interval to the age at the time of the seed event to determine when you can expect the conditions for that seed event to repeat in your life.
- If the calculated age is not your current age, it will be an age in your past. Look at the events of your life during that time and see how they apply to the seed event.
- To bring the cycle current, use the calculated age as the new seed and repeat the calculation.
By understanding and applying the concept of fractal time, we can gain insights into the patterns of our lives and identify opportunities for healing and positive change. Just as Braden was able to break free from his cycle of loss and betrayal, so too can we break free from our own patterns and create a more fulfilling and harmonious life.
Emotional Freedom Techniques, also known as EFT or tapping, is a potent tool that can complement the insights gained from the Fractal Time Calculator. EFT involves tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on the emotional issue at hand. This technique aids in releasing emotional blockages, reducing stress, and promoting healing.
When we identify a repeating pattern using the Fractal Time Calculator, we can employ EFT to address the emotional responses associated with it. For instance, if the pattern involves feelings of loss and betrayal, we can use EFT to tap on these emotions, releasing the negative energy and fostering emotional healing.
Once the emotions and beliefs associated with the pattern are cleared, we can then use Matrix Reimprinting or Hacking Reality to rewrite the experience. Matrix Reimprinting or Hacking Reality are techniques that allow us to revisit past memories or events and ‘reimprint’ them. We can create a new memory or belief to replace the old one, effectively changing our response to the pattern.
By choosing differently from the last time, we deactivate the pattern. The Fractal Time Calculator predicts when the conditions for the pattern will arise again, but with the emotional clearing from EFT and the new memory or belief imprinted by Matrix Reimprinting or Hacking Reality, the pattern no longer has to run its course.
In combining the insights from the Fractal Time Calculator with the healing power of EFT and the transformative potential of Matrix Reimprinting or Hacking Reality, we can break free from repeating patterns and create a more fulfilling and harmonious life. The key to change lies in our ability to recognize our patterns and consciously choose a different response.
