Be the change you wish to see in the world - Ghandi

Not out of the door you know the world. Not watching from the window you can see the way of heaven. LAO-TZU

Throughout history it was found that the human mind is capable of two types of knowledge, the first mode is that rational held in high regard in the West, the second is that intuitive which generally exactly the opposite is, and is suitable for the oriental attitude. 

The rational conscience belongs to the field of science and intellect, whose function is to analyze, discriminate, divide, compare, measure and sort into categories.
The rational conscience is a system of abstract concepts and symbols, considering in this way the natural environment as if it were made up of separate parts, and constructs an intellectual map of reality, in which things are reduced to their contours. 
The eastern thought and more generally the mystical thought, provides to the theories of contemporary science an important and coherent philosophical reference:  a conception of the world in which the two key issues are the unity and interdependence of all phenomena, and considers the human as an integral part of this system.

What is relevant to the Eastern mystics is the research of a direct experience of reality that transcends not only the intellectual thought, but also the sensory perception.
The conscience that derives from an experience of this type is called by the Buddhist “absolute consciousness” because it’s not based upon discrimination, abstractions, and classifications of the intellect, which are always relative and approximate. It is as the Buddhists say the direct experience of the absolute essence, undifferentiated, undivided, and indeterminate. (Read more…)

The aspiration of modern men is to reconcile the antithetical aspects of his personality: he is in the body like an animal, but at the level of the Ego would he like to be similar to a deity. The fate of an animal is the death, which the Ego tries to avoid nourishing divine aspirations. Nevertheless, in trying to avoid their fate men creates a worse: living with the fear of live.

We want love, but we fear to be vulnerable. We want to open ourselves, but we fear the rejection. We want deep feelings, but we fear to be crushed by emotions.
Conditioned to seek success in social terms rather than human success, we give us to a frenetic activity. From this conflict comes a tremendous despair, because beneath the surface of our convulsive life there is constantly the presence of pain. 

To free ourselves from those debilitating fears and replace the “being” with the “to do” is proposed a combination of work on the body and analysis of character that brings to light and resolves the deep sources of the sense of guilt and anger. Instead of changing the self, a bio-energetic therapy seeks to establish a harmony between the exterior and interior world with auto-acceptation, the mastery of self and the auto-expression. The result will be a much more fully life, happier and healthier. (Meditation and Yoga)

Saying that the auto-acceptation determines a change of the own destiny may seem a contradiction, but it is not. When you stop fighting against the fate, you get the rid of the neurosis (inner conflict) and you reach serenity. The result is a different attitude (one is not afraid to live) expressed by a different character and joined to a different fate. In this way, the individual will have the courage to live and die, and be able to auto-realization.

In our culture, we give importance to action, to the accomplished act. The modern individual is required to be successful, not to “being a person”. He belongs to an “active generation” whose motto is “to do more”, but feel less. This attitude characterizes much of modern sexuality: more action but less passion.

Is it the destiny of modern men to be neurotic, being afraid of life? My answer is yes, if we consider modern man belonging to a culture whose values are the dominant power and progress. Since these values characterizes the Western civilization in the twentieth century, results that every person who lives in this civilization is neurotic.

The neurotic individual is in conflict with himself. A portion of him attempts to dominate the other. His Ego tries to subjugate the body, and his rational thought to control the emotions, his will tries to overcome fears and anxieties. Although this conflict is unconscious, its effect is to exhaust the energies of a person and to destroy the peace of mind.
The neurosis is an internal conflict. The neurotic character takes different forms, but all involve a struggle within the individual between what is and what it believes to be. All neurotics are involved in this fight.

Our goals are the power and progress, but we want the pleasure, peace and stability. We do not realize that personal power and pleasure are opposing values and that often the first makes the second impossible. Power inevitably leads to a fight that often opposes the father to the son, the brother to the brother. It’s a separator force in a community. Progress requires a constant activity to transform the old into new, with the conviction that the new is always superior to the old. Although this may be true in some technical areas, this is a dangerous belief. Generalizing, this implies that the son is superior to the father or that tradition is simply the dead weight of the past. There are cultures in which dominate other values, where respect for the past and tradition is more important than the desire for change. In these cultures the conflict is minimized and neurosis rare.

The cultural process that gave rise to modern society and modern men has been the development of the Ego. This development is associated to the acquisition of knowledge and the conquest of the power over nature. Men belong to nature as any other animal and are fully subject to its laws, but he is also on the top of nature, because he is acting on it and controls it.
Men behave in the same way with his intimate nature, a part of his personality, the Ego, rebels to the animal part, the body. The antithesis between Ego and body produces a dynamic tension that promotes the process of culture, but it also contains a potential for destruction. When the separation between Ego and body is such that there is no more contact, the result is the psychotic collapse: I believe that in our culture we have reached this dangerous moment. 

Human life is full of contradictions, and to recognize and accept them is a test of wisdom.
Saying that the acceptance of the own fate determines a change may seem a contradiction, but it is not.
When you stop to fight against destiny, you get the rid of neurosis (internal conflict) and you reach serenity. The result is a different attitude (no more fear to live) expressed by a different character coupled with a different fate.

Therefore, it becomes necessary to look inside ourselves to understand our most intimate feelings and aspirations, because only this can lead us to a personal clarification that shows us that what really makes  the wellbeing in our existence, which frees us from the slavery of the internal conflict and collective neurosis. In this way, it leads us to peace and in the end to happiness.
The best way to practice such is the meditation what allows us to see with calm our most intimate feelings, doing it with a background of meditative music eases and ensures an easy progress and achievement of our self-realization.

According to the Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the conscious, better known as Ego, is the superior mental substrate that is that what let us have awareness of ourselves and of our relationship with the surrounding environment.
To understand better what is said we must relate the conscious to the unconscious, that is its more hidden counterpart, which is located in the enteric brain or the below brain, in the intestines; everything we know and remember with consciousness is domain of the conscience, while any removed experiences are relegated to the unconscious, where they still remain active.
The theme was deepened by Kant with his concept “I think” and by Schopenhauer, to which Freud relates very.
  
Many believe that they are well separated two shares of the brain, instead NO: the conscious is the one that works more when we are awake, that rational, what decides, the unconscious works also and above all when sleeping.

We can define the conscious as that part of ourselves that is aware of itself and the world (the conscious mind).
The consciousness has the function to monitor the voluntary motor activity.
The unconscious is all that of which we are not aware rationally in a given time (breath, heartbeat, hormones, glands, attitudes, emotions, etc.) and that inevitably leads us to make certain experiences that are helpful of any kind.
The conscious mind continually provides opinions on what is possible to think-do and about what is not, rather than simply to try some behavior that makes it possible to discover whether it is or is not possible. The conscious mind, with its limited system of belief, is much less willing to try than it is the unconscious.
Most of our psychic-physical functioning, is determined from the unconscious, that means, occurs at a level of a natural chain of events that works very well without the intervention of our conscious part.

We live more ‘guided from the unconscious then the conscious therefore ids it the belly that guides us!

Bandler and Grinder affirm: “The conscious mind gives continually reviews on what is possible and what is not, rather than simply try to search for some behavior that makes it possible to find out whether it is or is not possible. The conscious mind, with its limited system of belief, is much less willing to try than it is the unconscious. Typically, the unconscious has no such restrictions. The unconscious mind, provided they are organized and educated in an appropriate manner, is willing to try anything. If you are in your study and a person says, <<I cannot do this and I want to do it>> a useful hypothesis is that this person has already done everything he is able to try to make that change with his resources he disposes consciously and has completely failed.
One way to avoid to combat with someone or to obtain a resistance is simply to eliminate the conscious mind. ” Milton Erickson said in Sydney Rosen: “What we will not make Sid account, is that most of your life is determined from the unconscious.”

We all know him, we all talk about him, some believe in him, some are atheists and neglect him, but for all of us is he the expression of several fundamental facts about our own existence and life generally. Above that gives he to us a treasure of instructions regarding our self-actualization and personal development from a psychologically point of view wherein his human embodying is nothing else then the key of lecture to our very own existence.

WHO ‘and WHAT’ is the CHRIST?
We want analyze the “Sacred” names; classically it’s the meaning of the most important name of Christianity: 
Jesus - Christ, Christos (from Greek: the anointed, the gleaming, the sacred), in reality this name derives from the Greek and the union of 2 concepts: the first is CHRYSOS = this word comes from transmutation in the various languages:
1) Orus son of Osiris (Egyptian name of a “god, concept, force”), Chrosus and Chrysos what even in Greek means Gold which generated the words Crux (Latin), Cruz (Spanish), Cross (English), Croix (French), Kreuz (German), Croce  (Italian) and Greek Cross (symbol of light)

2) to this word, Chrys-Os, was introduced the Cross or TAU (the letter T) Egyptian, Phoenician and Hebrew sign of death, resurrection and of the solar luminous cross and of the musical scale (sol +la + re); in the same name there is also an abbreviation for sun (SOle, eliOS, (Helios) or “divinity, always the idea” of light, fire and it is also the prefix of Osiris. 

The ChristOs in the Mythology (MitoLogia) etymology (eTimoLogia) of Christians is in fact nailed to the Cross of Wood and all the pictographically representations confirm him in the two states, suffering and dying on the cross and rose into the Light.
Indeed, the ChristOs is the Cross or Solar Light of the pagans, says in fact also the gospel that transfigured on the mountain with Moses and Elijah, he is also called Lamb, a word which derives from Indian “Agni” the god/ man bearer of the “Fire”, messenger of the divinity, destined to die and also called “lord of the dead.”

Here’s a real grotesque paradox of the way through our real life: the more we get aware by what limits us, the more limitless gets our reality!
Therefore, take time to translate the undermentioned special examples; it throws much required
illumination upon a certain darkness that stands between us, and the more high-level freedom for which we yearn.

The sole aim of pessimistic feelings is to keep your thoughts on what you can’t arrange. And with
your sentence immobile in its manner — about what appears impracticable — there’s no way for disclosing what is accomplishable — and for what you are able to do.

Differently set, the only matter pessimistic states do is to maintain you engaged doing nothing excepted the experience of unhappiness or discomfort about yourself…that establishes a perfect guarantee for that your position will persist hopelessly unvaried.

You don’t have to bear one more demoralizing minutes with that let go a life sentence confined by its darkness.

There’s a different attitude you are able to attain instead of falling under those well-known feelings of embodying a “failure.”

The next few brainstorms will empower you to begin thinking of old discouragements in afresh way.

 Whenever you affirm over what you aren’t capable to get along, create, or run through, where is your attention in these moments?
It’s centered on your own thought-produced reality that’s narrating you’re stuck!
Perhaps you will be able to acknowledge some of these heavy-hearted inner articulations that go with being victimized by such depressing thoughts.

In one way or another, they say…

“I’ll never come out of this mess.”

“It’s too late!”

“I’m too set in my ways to change.”

“This is hopeless.”

Now on the surface of such personal matters, these all-too-familiar whispers of frustration — that talk to you with your personal voice — appear authentically concerned about your undesired condition.
Nevertheless, a more in depth look states a much more counterpointing story.
These harassed cerebrations are part of an unseeable “conspiracy of limitation” taking place in your own consciousness!

Watch over the next four considerations to their astonishing conclusion.
They demonstrate that self-illumination and self-liberation are one and the same power.

1. The more these gloomy voices babble to us, the more irresolute we feel.

 2. The more discouraged we feel, the more certain we are there’s no other alternative but to feel that way.

 3. The more convinced we are that we have no alternative, the less choice we have.

 4. The behave of identifying with this darkish inner dialogue actually develops the dead-end we fear!

 And so it goes: at once we’re convinced of our own incarceration!
There’s no way to elapse the restrictions we perceive as being real.
The key idea here dwells in the word perceive because it rhymes with deceive.
That’s just what these perceptions are: a secret deception.

Here’s the emancipating proof.

There are no deadlocks in real life.

Of course, you must demonstrate this promising reality to yourself, and here’s a good point to start: in any given moment there’s always something more to do with your life than sit there and suffer over what you believe you can’t have, do, or be.
Why wallow this way when a small amount of interior work will forever change how you see reality?
For instance, realize that the “size” of your dismay is directly in proportion to how strongly you assert life conform to your demands.
Asserting this self-imposed restriction empowers you, straightaway, to let it go and start all over.

Here’s a different example: possibly, you have felt pessimistic because you needed to study something new — a higher accomplishment or a hard lesson — but felt for sure that certain limitations of yours ranked this possibility beyond your abilities.
Now you can do something much more advanced than just resign yourself to feeling discouraged.

Instead of falling into those long-familiar impressions of futility over yourself, deliberately drop those
discourage-filled cerebrations stating you the limit of your present view is the demarcation line of your possibilities.
Who you have embodied matters only to those depressing states that wish you to persist that way so that they can preserve to govern the day.
Declining to dwell in the cosmos of discouraged sentiments and opinions is the same as opening up the
doorway to a new universe without limits. Just start working with who you are at present!

In other words, manage what’s in your power and decline to be pessimistic about anything else. Keep taking over this new behavior one step at one time until you’ve walked off from the livelong false thought that there’s no further you can go!

Here are three special cardinal morals to help you fortify and then realize your wish to experience a world without limits:

Any conversation you allow yourself to sustain with discouraging and demoralizing thoughts assures you’ll end up with a good reason for feeling pessimistic.

When you acknowledge that what you’re seeking is what you already are — and not what you might become — you stand on the threshold of the unlimited life.

The universe itself is in reality set up for you to succeed with actualizing the illimitable life, which implies you are made for whatever takes place to you!

If you start to look inside yourself you’ll discover all the above by meditating

What is this illusive thing that people go looking for called Spirituality? Spirit is 1/3 of the individualized entity; the body or ego that we know ourselves as being alive. By our very nature we are already spiritual and everything that we do is spiritual; we do not have to go looking for it.

Many people spend a lifetime looking for spirituality and they never find it; you cannot find what is not lost or already is. What they are really looking for is spiritual awareness, an awareness of that which gives us life and mobility; an awareness of self.

Many people confuse religion for spirituality, but religion is man’s attempt to explain spirituality and is a part of being spiritual as all things are. You will hear people say, “This or that person is very spiritual” but that is not really accurate. There are people who are more spiritually aware than others. But you are also spiritual, so there is no need to feel left out or less spiritual. Your spirituality can be developed consciously as awareness, but your spirit is already complete as is.

You will not find your spirituality in Tibet or high on the mountain or in the hut of some spiritual guru. There is no place to look for it, because you are already there. The awareness of spirituality comes with the desire to be spiritually aware. Once you have decided that it is what you want, the opportunities will come to you automatically. The people who will best serve you will be drawn to you, and you will begin to notice them. You will begin to notice subtle changes in your environment and your life’s circumstances.

You more than likely will begin to move away from your current friends and even relationships as they no longer serve your purpose. As cold as that may seem, it is because you have begun to learn a new language and they can no longer understand or relate to you. Many will try and discourage you because they don’t want to be left behind. As you begin to develop this other part of self, you will start to notice things around you that eluded you before. Your senses will become more acute, you will begin to care more about your body and your health. You will understand and have great empathy for how your ego struggles to survive in what sometimes seems to be a harsh world. You will also draw like minded people to you, to replace the ones left behind who are there to support you in your creations.

Your newly developed spirituality will open doors you never knew existed. It will be as though you have discovered a whole new set of tools you never knew you had. Your life will have new meaning and you will no longer feel like a victim, but as a creator of your own circumstances and destiny. You will begin to see your intimate connection to all others and all things. Your newly found awareness does not excuse you from your physical journey but it does give it new meaning. You will never be the same, nor will you want to go back.

You will not only use your five senses more completely but you will begin to discover or maybe even develop your other psychic senses. Can you image adding on five or more senses to the ones you are already aware of and using? The possibilities for new experiences are infinite as you now begin to see yourself differently. You will also develop the ability to remove yourself from your body and view yourself from a distance as the silent observer of your own life; silent, patient and empathetic - your very own spiritual guide. You will begin to truly understand, appreciate and embrace the term “outside the box” because that is where your attention and experience will be.

I can’t image a greater sense of security in knowing that you can never be judged spiritually, never be punished and that you have absolute unconditional freedom to do anything you can imagine and that it is you only purpose. Judgment and punishment are physical attributes of this life that you will not experience in the afterlife. Unconditional love and freedom is what you are spiritually and it has no limitations. The essence of who you are individually will always be, and cannot be destroyed. It is also the nature of all things to move to a higher state of being; to improve one’s experience.

Your new spiritual awareness begins when you decide it does, and because you are reading this now; it has already started. Remember also that spiritual awareness is not an end unto itself; it is the trip that brings the greatest rewards and pleasures.

All thoughts are valid in the spiritual world, read as much as you can from many different writers and authors. Never allow yourself to be boxed in by someone else’s thoughts or even your own. As you reach out you will begin to formulate a thought process that is uniquely yours and changes.

Understanding Ourselves

The three marks of existence are crucial to the Buddhist understanding of ourselves and the world around us. The first of  these ‘marks’ or ‘characteristics’ is anicca or impermanence. The second of these Read more

Most people are more comfortable with old problems than with new solutions.

– Anonymous

Comfort and Security:

It’s something that we all attempt to provide a sense of knowing - a feeling of safety. Familiarity brings with it a certain sense of control, a safe space where our fear of the unacknowledged is less domineering.

Comfort has its downside however. Have you ever stuck in a situation that was familiar, although you knew it wasn’t making you authentically happy? Have you ever thought of trying something, only to stop yourself without accepting a risk? Our attachment to comfortableness can be costly. It can cause us to resist change, which is necessary for growth.

One of life’s greatest lessons is learning to know comfort through constant change.

In order to attain a sense of peace and still reach our fullest potential, we must seek comfort through developing higher levels of trust and faith. When we can find comfort even in times of upheaval and change it is a sign of tremendous spiritual growth.

Reflect on comfort zones and what they mean to you in your life. Have you limited yourself by staying in familiar situations/conditions?  How has this effected your level of joy, self-confidence, sense of purpose?  What are some ways you can build the faith necessary to make changes and/or take chances?

Changing Habits to Improve your Personal Life

Habits, oh those nasty habits. Habits are developed from training, influences, observation, and practice. We develop many habits throughout our life, which some are good and others are bad. Good habits we can keep, but if one wants to improve their life the bad habits has to take a hike.

Getting rid of bad habits however is not easy, especially if an addiction is involved. For this reason, we can take a few steps to learning how you can change your habits.

Making excuses:

People wander through life making excuses. Anytime a person sees something complicated, they will often make excuses why they cannot deal with the problem. “This is just the way I am.” This is a common problem in the world, which we’ve all heard billions of times. If you are out to improve your life however, you need to say, “This is something that hinders me from achievement and I have the power to change it.

The first key to success is stop making excuses. Learn how to tell the truth. The truth is the only answer that leads you to improve your personal life. Once you learn to tell the truth, you will need to commit self to learning new behaviors and habits.

You can commit by choosing a new habit.

Today I am going to stop judging others and myself. This is a common mistake people make in the world. They spend time judging others and themselves. This gets them nowhere but in a world of chaos.

Do you think negative? I can’t change this. My life is full of nonsense, I can’t swing it anymore. Why me? Who put a tag on my head, saying persecute me. If you spend your life thinking negative and saying negative connotations, try changing your ways today. For instance, say, I can change something and I am going to. Instead of saying life is full of nonsense, accept it as truth yet move ahead to make your life better. Why me is a common question, which no one knows why, yet we have to accept it, make better decisions and move ahead. If you feel persecuted, ask you what you are doing that makes you feel this way. Do you have friends or family members weighing you down? If so, then kick their butt down the road and make new friends. No one in life is worth you suffering ongoing.

You have the power to make changes, yet you do not have the power to change other people.

When you start to make changes to improve your life, start small. Instead of jumping the gun, take baby steps to success. Too many times people try to change overnight. This only leads to frustration.

When you are working to change your life and habits make sure you seek support and feedback. You do not have to walk the road to success alone. Feedback is found at your library, the Internet, at colleges, and so on. You will find support along these channels as well. Ask someone you trust to support you and give you feedback when needed also.

Search also inside yourself for feedback by meditation, inside yourself you can find a nucleos that’ll give you the strength you need to make changes and improve your life.

The brain is essential to human life, and when the brain dies, the entire physical body dies along with it. Even under deep sleep, the brain is active and aware, and able to direct functions as and when necessary. For example, the brain may create a fearful dream to wake you up if your body is threatened by danger, such as read more

I think erveryone has asked his self once what is a soul, where reside it and so on, well here is a (Definition of the word)

Study in the Netherlands on Soul

The Spirit creates by Words that what gets manifest through the Sound = language

We recall engraved, that the Italian word ANIMA (Soul) derives from the ancient compounded sound: ANI + MA; these 2 roots / words / sounds, meaning in ancient Phoenician-Hebrew: ANI = ME (being) and MA = MAteria Matriciale = Energy, the thinking MAteria.
ANI, which translated from the ancient Phoenician and Hebrew means “ME/SELF or Ego”; also these 3 letters ANI indicate essential functions: to Unite, Transforming, Concentrating, if we look at this letter by letter word, we get more useful and important information: ALEF, the first character of those alphabets, expresses the idea of abstract principle of a thing; describes the point of view; characterizing unity, strength, stability, continuity, the Universal man, mankind, the transforming Being of the manifestation.
Regarding the Hebrew term Nephesh = PSYCHE; the word Nephesh has several meanings, including Anima. Typically it is used to indicate: “living being”, “living animal”, “Life” (both human and animal, with the physical body). The NUN, which is the design of 1 / 2 fish as the original Egyptian hieroglyph for that sound designed a fish, representing the son of Humanity, the man (male and female), the material part of Being / Ego / SELF, the physical body individualized and produced and introduced into the depths of the matter but that can reascend to the surface of it, through the spirit (InFormAtion) to understand the whole manifestation and the InFinite.
The IOD represents every manifested power, the hand of man, his finger indicator (index), the potential manifestation, the intellectual duration and this of the Eternity. The double root Ani + Ma (in Italian sound) became with time the word soul and intends to describe the significance of living being made of spirit without the physical, losing its original meaning of the root Ma, which is the root of the word MA-teria, Mater, Mother, Sea (Mare in Italian/Latin), etc..Someone says (traditionally) that this word comes from the feminine form of the Indo-European-root “ane” suffix (ane-mo); the root indicates the “breathe”, this meaning is also in the roots of the word spirit, of Germanic words: ghost, geist; Slave: duh, dusa, the Greek word pneuma, and of the Egyptian ka and also from the Hebrew of ruah.However from any language or combination of languages, it may come, the meaning does not change, it is always a breath of a being who lives and which is composed of matter (physical body) and spirit (thinking - conscience - of being) of His Ego / SELF, who lives in a physical body. The soul and what Lives, the Living: plant, animal human.

We have NOT a soul, WE ARE a soul, with different bodies (physical and / or plasma) depending on where we need and / or want to go!

So the word Soul simply means the Ego / Self materialized in a physical body, it indicates also that the soul can not be and therefore live divided from a physical body, it is alive and evidenziabile only when it has a physical body, which can be done now like ours, or be supported with other types of physical bodies: plasmas of electronics power, and / or water, and / or gas, and / or solid, but still the in-form-ation and / or thinking, it can not exist without a physical support! But the In - Form-Ation is ‘de facto always contained in the electromagnetic field of Atoms that makes us up, but especially in the (CEM) of the atom that we are and which is in phase of continuous in-form-ation, to be more and more informed and complex (negative entropy = neghentropia).

To add more data to these concepts:

We define the soul of every man, as an all together of the programs and information that are in his mind that “lives” in his brains (especially that of above), which define and identify him.
The difference, compared to electronics, is that in biological systems the software is able to construct and modify the hardware, but apart from this important detail, for the remaining the speech is very similar.

So the being that we are has in the first place a “body” of in-form-ation supported by the “energetic-body of Atoms”, and therefore a body of energy (vortex of space / time on the move) that for in - form itself penetrates / travel the space / time with ever more ‘complexity’ and appears finally to our level with bodies made of the substance (solid, gaseous, liquid, plasma) with the physiognomy of human or animal.

The “spirit” is matters that informs and tents and become plasma, gaseous, liquid, solid, and the mater-ia, by information tends to become Spirit; these two sides of the same coin are only two aspects / functions “of a SINGLE thing ….. The Project of Life: … Eternal Life (Infinite) to which ALL living beings stick and join and live, willing or not ….. and perhaps without knowing it ….. suffering needlessly …

Miracles happen every day. They not only happen in secret faraway places, they happen all around you. Beyond the physical world that you can see, beyond your thoughts and emotions, there exists another world. A world of pure potential Continues here:

Power is a force that is often misperceived.
Our true power lies within us at our source, and dependends not on an argument,
or subjecting ones will onto another. True power comes from a place of peace and gentleness. All of us have power beyond measure; it is what we choose to do with it that determines its value.

True power is non-imposing; it does not make demands, or instill fear. True power comes from a peaceful place, deep within the soul.

The truly powerful spend their lives seeking their source, learning to embrace this spiritual energy with humility and respect.

True power is not boisterous; those in possession of it often don’t realize they are using it. On the other hand, those who seek power by the wrong methods are often led into chaos. Many times they drag others around them down with them. When we do the right thing as opposed to the easiest or most self-serving thing, we become the living examples of true
power, the only genuine power that exists.

Use your personal power as the gift that it is, and do something that benefits the greater good. This doesn’t have to be a huge momentous event, remember power is subtle not overbearing. Reflect on the greatness harnessed in the seemingly simplest of activities and reflect on what this means to you.

The true personal power comes from within your self, it comes from a inner center
that gives you confidence in your being, confidence to overcome any situation, because
you represent yourself as you are. There is no fear, nothing else than a inner harmony
that cannot be interrupted because you’re living in the flow of your true nature and
that is it  what the others perceive as power.

If you think you don’thave such power discover it, it is there inside of you, try to meditate
and soon you’ll reach it www.meditation-and-yoga.com

Meditation refers to a state where your body and mind are consciously relaxed and focused.  Practitioners of this art report increased awareness, focus, and concentration, as well as a more positive outlook in life.

Meditation is most commonly associated with monks, mystics and other spiritual disciplines.  However, you don’t have to be a monk or mystic to enjoy its benefits.  And you don’t even have to be in a special place to practice it.  You could even try it in your own living room!

Although there are many different approaches to meditation, the fundamental principles remain the same.  The most important among these principles is that of removing obstructive, negative, and wandering thoughts and fantasies, and calming the mind with a deep sense of focus.  This clears the mind of debris and prepares it for a higher quality of activity.

The negative thoughts you have – those of noisy neighbors, bossy officemates, that parking ticket you got, and unwanted spam– are said to contribute to the ‘polluting’ of the mind, and shutting them out is allows for the ‘cleansing’ of the mind so that it may focus on deeper, more meaningful thoughts.

Some practitioners even shut out all sensory input – no sights, no sounds, and nothing to touch – and try to detach themselves from the commotion around them.  You may now focus on a deep, profound thought if this is your goal.  It may seem deafening at first, since we are all too accustomed to constantly hearing and seeing things, but as you continue this exercise you will find yourself becoming more aware of everything around you.

If you find the meditating positions you see on television threatening – those with impossibly arched backs, and painful-looking contortions – you need not worry.  The principle here is to be in a comfortable position conducive to concentration.  This may be while sitting cross-legged, standing, lying down, and even walking.

If the position allows you to relax and focus, then that would be a good starting point.  While sitting or standing, the back should be straight, but not tense or tight.  In other positions, the only no-no is slouching and falling asleep.

Loose, comfortable clothes help a lot in the process since tight fitting clothes have a tendency to choke you up and make you feel tense.

The place you perform meditation should have a soothing atmosphere.  It may be in your living room, or bedroom, or any place that you feel comfortable in.  You might want an exercise mat if you plan to take on the more challenging positions (if you feel more focused doing so, and if the contortionist in you is screaming for release).  You may want to have the place arranged so that it is soothing to your senses.

Silence helps most people relax and meditate, so you may want a quiet, isolated area far from the ringing of the phone or the humming of the washing machine.  Pleasing scents also help in that regard, so stocking up on aromatic candles isn’t such a bad idea either.

The monks you see on television making those monotonous sounds are actually performing their mantra.  This, in simple terms, is a short creed, a simple sound which, for these practitioners, holds a mystic value.

You do not need to perform such; however, it would pay to note that focusing on repeated actions such as breathing, and humming help the practitioner enter a higher state of consciousness.

The principle here is focus.  You could also try focusing on a certain object or thought, or even, while keeping your eyes open, focus on a single sight.

One sample routine would be to – while in a meditative state – silently name every part of you body and focusing your consciousness on that part. While doing this you should be aware of any tension on any part of your body.  Mentally visualize releasing this tension.  It works wonders.

In all, meditation is a relatively risk-free practice and its benefits are well worth the effort (or non-effort – remember we’re relaxing).

Studies have shown that meditation does bring about beneficial physiologic effects to the body.  And there has been a growing consensus in the medical community to further study the effects of such.  So in the near future, who knows, that mystical, esoteric thing we call meditation might become a science itself!

I am going to ask you to something very weird right now.

First of all, I want you to listen to your thoughts.
Now tell me, what thoughts fill your head?

Would you label them as positive, or negative?

Now let’s say you are walking down the street with these thoughts. Do you think anyone who would meet you would be able to tell you what’s on your mind?

The answer to number one is up to you. But, the answer number two can be pretty generic. Although people will not be able to tell you exactly what you think, they will more or less have an idea of how you are feeling.

Here’s another question. When you enter a party filled with friends, do they all fall silent as if something terrible had happened? Or does everybody there perk up as if waiting for something exciting to happen?

You know what? The answer to all these depends on your frame of mind.

Thoughts are very powerful. They affect your general attitude. The attitude you carry reflects on your appearance, too – unless, of course, you are a great actor.

And it doesn’t end there. Your attitude can also affect people around you.

The type of attitude you carry depends on you. It can be either positive or negative.

Positive thoughts have a filling effect. They are admittedly invigorating. Plus, the people around the person carrying positive thoughts are usually energized by this type of attitude.

Negative thoughts on the other hand have a sapping effect on other people. Aside from making you look gloomy and sad, negative thoughts can turn a festive gathering into a funeral wake.

A positive attitude attracts people, while a negative attitude repels them. People tend to shy away from those who carry a negative attitude.

We can also define attitude as the way of looking at the world. If you choose to focus on the negative things in the world, more or less you have a negative attitude brewing up. However, if you choose to focus on the positive things, you are more likely carry a positive attitude.

You have much to gain from a very positive attitude. For one, studies have shown that a positive attitude promotes better health. Those with this kind of attitude also have more friends. projecting a positive attitude also helps one to handle stress and problems better than those who have a negative attitude.

A positive attitude begins with a healthy self-image. If you will love the way you are and are satisfied, confident, and self-assured, you also make others are around feel the same way.

A negative attitude, on the other hand, has, of course, an opposite effect. So, carrying a negative attitude has a twofold drawback. You feel bad about yourself, and you make others feel the same way.

If you want to have a positive attitude, you have to feature healthy thoughts. This is probably very hard to do nowadays since, all around us, the media feeds us nothing but negative thoughts. A study shows that for every 14 things a parent says to his or her child, only one is positive. This is truly a saddening thought.

If you want a healthier outlook in life, you need to think happy thoughts, and you have to hear positive things as well.
So, what can you do? Well, for starters, you could see a funny movie, you could play with children, spend some time telling jokes with friends or you could start with meditation. All these activities fill you with positive stimuli, which in turn promotes positive attitude.

Although it is impossible to keep ourselves from the negative things around us, you can still carry a positive attitude by focusing on the good things, the positive things in life.

And this positive attitude you now carry can be of benefit to other people. Sometimes when other people feel down, the thing people mostly do is try to give them advice. But sometimes, all they need is somebody to sit by them, and listen to them.
If you have a positive attitude you may be able to cheer them up without even having to say anything.

If positive attitude is really great, why do people choose to adopt a negative attitude instead? One who carries a negative attitude may be actually sending a signal for attention. Before you get me wrong, feeling sad, angry, or gloomy is not wrong itself. But dwelling on these thoughts for far too long is not healthy either. There is a time to mourn.

As always, if you are beset by troubles, even in your darkest hour, focus on the good things in life, you will always have hope. Problems become something you can overcome.

You do not have much to lose by adopting a healthy, positive attitude. Studies show that such an attitude actually retards aging, makes you healthier, helps you develop a better stress coping mechanism, and has a very positive effect on all the people you meet every day. So, what’s not to like about a positive attitude? Adopt one today.

Many discussions are held regarding the conscious, subconscious, and superconscious
minds and also about unconscious thoughts. We have heard about the superconscious
in different contexts. But how does the superconscious relate to our thoughts and to
creating what we desire to have in our lives?

Our conscious mind is the part of us that makes decisions and expresses what is to be impressed on the subconscious mind. It is that part of our mind that we are most aware of while in the awake state and it is that part of the mind that perceives all that is around us. It makes a decision or whether it will accept and allow a certain image or information to be impressed consciously.

Unfortunately most of the time, people are not in conscious awareness of what they are
being exposed to and so a lot of information enters into the subconscious mind. This is where being in an unconscious state of mind enters. So you are in an unconscious mode while in a conscious state of mind.

The subconscious is like the powerhouse behind making a desire come into physical manifestation. It makes no decisions of right or wrong and accepts what has been impressed on it and creates from there. But the subconscious actually plays a bigger role in a person’s life for the power of the subconscious actually comes through from the superconscious.

The superconsciousness is the God or Source energy. It is of a very high frequency. It is much higher than we would be able to handle or sustain in the lower vibration of our physical bodies. As we evolve through our lives, we are to learn how to handle the higher vibrations of this energy while maintaining the aspects of the physical body.
The subconscious acts as a governor that restricts or allows a certain amount of energy or power to flow through. It is affected by emotions and the emotional character of the thoughts we have.

So as our thoughts and emotions are of a happy, joyful nature, the subconscious allows more of the superconsciousness to flow through. If our emotions and emotional character of our thoughts are less than happy, then the subconscious restricts the amount of superconscious energy that flows through for it is less of a vibrational match and it would be harder on the body.

Have you ever seen a baby within the first 24 hours of its birth? Have you noticed how “pure” or “bright” or “filled with light” the baby seems? You are seeing a Being of very high vibration that has not had the flow of superconscious/God/Source energy restricted.

As the child is exposed to everyday life, the thoughts and feelings of lower vibration that the child is around becomes part of his/her energy field and that higher vibration is reduced. As the child grows and has even more exposure to messages from media and others plus its own thoughts and emotions that are not of a high vibration or happy nature, the vibration continues to lessen.

By the time the child is an adult, the vibration can be quite reduced, the person feels quite sluggish in their life and may also have feelings of sadness, depression, etc.

Now, what does this have to do with creating and manifesting in your life? When you are fully in non-physical form, you are then in an energy form of the superconscious/God/Source.

In this form, when you have a thought about something it manifests instantly. So the more that you have this superconscious energy flowing through you while in the physical body, the quicker your manifestations will occur.

The subconscious makes no decision whether to restrict or not the flow of superconsciousness energy to you, but instead allows to come forth the amount of energy that is a match to the emotions and emotional character of the thoughts that are present.

Maintain the higher vibrational frequencies in your thoughts and emotions and you will bring forth more of the superconscious/God/Source energy in your life and you will see wonderful things happen quicker in your life.
This includes excellent health in your body, for the diseases, sickness, and other health issues which are of a low vibration can not be maintain in the present of a higher vibration.

Our brain is made up of billions of brain cells which use electricity to communicate with each other. Since brain cells are alive, they are always generating electrical signals; they are never ‘off’ or shut down. The combination of millions of neurons sending signals all at the same time produces an enormous amount of electrical activity in the brain.
This activity can be detected and mapped using sensitive medical equipment such as an EEG. Such map shows that the brain is emitting specific frequency patterns that relate directly to different mental processes all the way from wide awake and highly focused to deep, dreamless sleep.

Brain Wave Patterns:
The brain produces electrical patterns known as brainwaves.
These patterns can be detected using sophisticated electronic equipment known as EEG devices. Different brainwave patterns are produced during different mental activities.
If external stimulus is applied to the brain, it is possible to ‘entrain’ or change the dominant brain frequency from one stage to another. If an individual in the beta stage is presented with a stimulus of 10Hz for some time, the brain frequency is likely to change towards that stimulus. This is called the frequency following response.
When a brainwave pattern is practiced over a period of time more…

When you are unhappy what do you do? Do you go out for a meal? Go to the cinema?
The theatre perhaps? Do you go shopping? Perhaps you like a drink to overcome your unhappiness. Or do you get a buzz from jogging or going to the gym?

Whatever it is, scientist are in the process of proving that internal change is the only thing that can give you health and happiness. Everything else is an illusion.

What does this mean?

Your brain is the only thing that can keep you healthy and happy.

Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin and Jon Kabat-Zinn from the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre have just completed some interesting research that can actually be of benefit to you and me and the way we run our lives.

They took a group of 41 stressed , but otherwise healthy, individuals working in a biotechnology firm in Wisconsin. 25 were  taught  meditation.  The group met for a 2.5 to 3 hour meditation class each week. After six weeks they all attended a seven hour meditation retreat. In addition each member was asked to meditate, at home, for one hour a day using a guided meditation tape.

The other 16 were held as a control group and did not receive meditation training until the study was completed.

At the end of the eight week programme, in November, they also gave all the participants a flu jab. And guess what. “The members of the meditation group had a significant increase in antibody titers”.
In other words, they have less chance of catching flu.

The bottom line appears to be. If you want to have good health and overcome the day by day blues and maintain happiness, learn to meditate. When you meditate you change the way your brain operates.

In addition, they found, the more you practice meditation the better your daily performance.

”What we found is that the long time practitioners showed brain activation
on a scale we have never seen before. ‘ Their mental practice is having an effect on the brain in the same way golf or tennis practice will enhance performance.
It demonstrates, that the brain is capable of being trained and physically modified in ways few people can imagine”.
(Richard Davidson)

 So give yourself the space each day to train your brain.  It works.
