Concentration

Most people struggle through life simply reacting to events around them, I know I do, not all the time as I am quite aware but sometimes I still react however, most react being oblivious to the fact that they themselves  help to create those events. Like a ship tossed at sea, they see themselves buffeted by external circumstances, a tiny object subject to the whims of chance. But here is the reality While I agree many were born as victims of circumstances, I don't believe they have to STAY that way.  Often we don't have a choice about being victimized, but we do have a choice about STAYING that way and using it as our excuse not to live the life we desire. As you go through your memory banks and being honest with yourself you will realise what areas of your life you have been living in the Victim Level of Awareness.  The trick is to becoming aware of these levels in order to change them. My partner said to me, now that you know and have e...

"Some people call it materialization, some call it manifestation, I like calling it actualization or demonstration however, it really doesn't matter.  So what happens when you get a really good momentum going? the first thing that happens is that you receive, you experience the manifestation of emotion.  And we want to call emotion a manifestation because does it get any realer than feeling? When you get that feeling, isn't it real, isn't it up close and personal kind of real? That's a manifestation.  It's a manifestation of momentum. And you can tell by the way you feel whether it's momentum leading to something you want or leading to something you don't want. The next thing that happens is thoughts begin to flow.  That's the next thing. Now really what happens is the thought came first and the emotion came second. But we want to call it the emotion the first manifestation of awareness. We think it will serve you if you realize that when yo...

I came across these mind blowing 25 things we can do to help expand our minds, these days we are so closed minded and I guess trapped in our ways of beliefs and things we do we forget to allow, to be and just to accept.  So In order to do this effectively here are 25 things you can do to help you enhance and expand your mind. 1. Listen to classical music. Nothing opens your mind up to new possibilities like listening to classical music. Experts say it will even reduce your stress. To think intelligent thoughts, try the tunes by Debussy and other classical composers. 2. Turn on public radio. From compelling news to inspirational stories, you’ll learn something new to be excited about. Find the public radio station that broadcasts near you. 3. Read a book. When you open a book, you open your brain. Whether you choose fiction or biographies and “how to” books, start reading. Fifteen minutes a day to start will get you going strong. ...

The source of discontent in our lives almost always comes from comparison, either with the past, or with what you hope to be the future. Which one bothers you more may give you a clue into a bigger problem to work on. When a relationship goes bad, do you most often wish things were the way they used to be or that you were with someone else? If you're unhappy with your job, do you instinctively wish that things were different where you are now or that you worked at a different place all together? If you find yourself always wishing that things were like they were in the past or that your situation was the same, just,  better , that might be a sign that you're more prone to staying in unhappy and irreconcilable situations or relationships for too long. If you find yourself always looking to the future—struggling more with "the grass is always greener" phenomenon or dreaming about the way things  could  be—you may be more prone to feeling trapped or suffocated in your cu...

First, Set an Exact Time The first thing to do when it comes to meditation is to set an exact time, fifteen to thirty minutes a day, when you're going to do NOTHING but meditate. Setting this time serves two crucial purposes: first, it keeps you from meditating only when you "have the time," which all of us know usually means not that often or never. The second thing that it does is help your mind and body to get into the habit of meditating at a specific time, which will help to enforce the habit on both a physical and a mental plane. For the best results, set a time in the morning right after you get up AND a time in the evening right before you go to bed. Second, Set an Exact Location In addition to having an exact time set aside for meditation, set up a quiet place in your home where you can't be disturbed or interrupted. Your meditation space should be set up with all of the things that you need to quiet your mind and relax your body. For examp...

The most significant motivation behind your consistent actions is your subconscious mind. This is because your subconscious mind is what controls your emotional drives.  As you know, your behaviors are influenced by the  thoughts which carry the strongest emotional charge.  Now, considering this, it ought to be easy to figure out how important it is for you to harness the power of your subconscious mind to fuel your passion and pursue what you really want.  A vision board is one of the most powerful tools for doing this.  It provides you with powerful visual stimuli that plant "seeds" in your subconscious that are consistent with what you want.  It's very simple to create one. All you need is a poster board and a few dozen pictures of things that you want in your life: the type of house you want, the kind of body that you want, the kind of partner you want to attract, etc.  By creating this dream board and putting it somewhere you can see it every day,...

"Like water, which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed." - Indra Devi Solitude is something vital that we require in order for us to grow and expand our  consciousness, one of the best ways to connect on a deeper level is spending some time by yourself in quiet with no distractions, this will enable you to connect with nature and your inner voice.
