The Truth about Clearing Limiting Beliefs

The Crack Your Egg program is based on the idea that many people are unaware of how the subconscious mind influences them. If you lack understanding of this influence, the effectiveness of the personal growth techniques you use may be diminished. As a result, you might see slow and temporary progress in your efforts to improve your life.

So, according to Henk Schram, gaining insight into the workings of your subconscious mind is crucial for personal growth and self-awareness.

Within the Crack Your Egg program, your subconscious programming is referred to as the “eggshell“. This eggshell is responsible for shaping the self limiting beliefs that you have.

According to Henk:

While numerous self-improvement programs offer strategies for challenging these belief systems, most only address the surface of the issues. The majority of courses fail to provide a comprehensive approach that leads to enduring and meaningful outcomes. Any progress made is often considered more of a fortunate coincidence rather than a result of actual skill.

To overcome these limiting beliefs, it’s essential to grasp their underlying dynamics. According to Henk, this is a crucial aspect that many personal development programs overlook, which is why they often fall short in helping individuals break free.

There is more nuance to the story of clearing your limiting belief system.

The outdated model

The old model is the prevailing mode of thought in many personal development programs, which is the philosophy commonly utilized.

After I reviewed Henk’s description of this model, I began to understand why other products delivers only some results. In fact, one product in my collection aligns closely with this model.

Let’s uncover The basis of the old model is:

1. The reality you manifest for yourself is rooted in your underlying belief stored in your subconscious.
2. Your beliefs and subconscious programming are caused by certain ideas and experiences, which form patterns in your subconscious through a process of habit formation and emotional conditioning.
3. Hence, your subconscious programming is shaped by the cumulative effect of external influences and experiences, gradually forming a unique mental landscape that reflects your personal history and learnings.

This model focus on the initial stage of information processing, transforming negative inputs into positive ones. According to this approach, experts believe that individuals can modify their subconscious programming in 2 ways :

1. Turning your input into a positive form.
2. Shift your habitual patterns by letting go of the emotional attachment linked to them.

For example, using affirmations is one way to shift your input to a positive one, while practicing EFT Tapping can help you release built-up emotional tension.

Henk believes that while this model is not incorrect, it lacks a crucial element.

So, to achieve meaningful and sustainable self-improvement, it’s crucial to identify the crucial element that’s holding you back. This is particularly essential if you’ve been attempting the methods I’ve mentioned above, but haven’t seen the desired outcomes.

The “new” model

In my opinion, I think that every self-improvement strategy has the capacity to be effective. I’m inclined to trust that the approaches I’ve committed to can indeed have a transformative impact and help me achieve my desired outcomes.

Henk’s proposal doesn’t involve dismissing established techniques altogether; instead, it emphasizes identifying and addressing the underlying reasons for your limiting beliefs. Once you’ve pinpointed the root cause, you’ll be able to harness the full potential of other methods and strategies.

In the new model, Henk uncovers the crucial element that serves as the true mechanism behind the functioning of your subconscious mind.

Many experts are not revealing the presence of what Henk refers to as “meta patterns”.

Henk explains the concept of meta patterns as:

1. The catalyst or the driving force bridging your conscious actions and deeply ingrained subconscious programming.
2. They organize the development of your limiting beliefs and your perception of reality.
3. They are the foundation of your eggshell structure.

At some point in your life you acquired meta patterns of thought and behavior that shape your individuality. They determine your unique eggshell characteristics. These patterns play a crucial role in defining your personal characteristics and dictating the most effective approaches to personal growth and development that work for you.

By understanding your meta patterns, you can tailor your personal development strategy to suit your unique needs and preferences.

It is evident that a detailed description of meta patterns is not feasible within the limitations of this brief overview. I suggest delving into the introductory study materials to gain a better understanding. Henk dedicates a whole section in these guides to elucidate the concept of meta patterns (which I am still working on comprehending myself!).
