Always being aware of your environment

You should always be aware of your environment. It can not only be harmful to you mentally but spiritually, if you are unaware. At any given time you must shield your thoughts from environmental factors. Put on your Armor. It is in having been in unpleasant places that gave me more insight on how the mind truly works. We are supposed to live in the present, however we also must be aware at all times. You could become acclimated to any given surrounding, if you don't remain focused. It takes training of mind.

I suppose one could say years of being in dysfunction gave me a significant amount of insight on this very subject. It is having removed myself from the familiar that I came to truly understand self. I guess when you change those that you associate yourself with, that are not moving in a positive direction, you come to realize how they can affect your mind. Monkey mind is the not knowing how the mind works. I love my family, but monkey mind is money mind. Not good for my mindset at all.

Your normal pattern of thinking tends to change as you grow an cultivate your abilities. You grow each day if you focus on something that increases your knowledge. You can take even the smallest thing and learn something. Even if its the way someone continues to display sexually aggressive behavior. Take for instance being in a women's shelter. Many of the women have been incarcerated and have been subjected to rape or trauma. They project this same behavior off on others. They believe in their own minds, that forcing things upon someone else, is the way to get ahead. This would in fact be wrong. 

I have also encountered those that study the wrong religious doctrine. They believe projecting negative energy off on others will get them what they want. Energy is like a reflective mirror. The energy you put out, will be returned unto you. You reap what you sow. Project positive energy and it shall be returned. Not saying my doctrine is the right one, but it is right for me. It also allows for you to cultivate a positive character. Your character is what dictates the future you will have. Good intentions are everything with regard to life. Always remember that!

The Power of The Mind

The Power of the Mind

The mind is a Powerful tool which can be used to create. It can give you pain or pleasure. You must be mindful and aware of the people you are surrounded by. You have tendency, to take on the thoughts of those you are in the presence of. What I mean by this is, you are influenced by the intentions of others, if you are not constantly Focused on how you want your day to go and the things you want in your future.

I read many different things. I read my bible and inspirational books. I have found that the Law of Attraction has much truth, however you must carefully study the components, in order for it to be successful. You must also know exactly, what you want. It’s easy to become distracted by others, if you are attentive to their conversation.

I have started to carefully pay attention to my thoughts when I am alone and when I am in different environments. I observed my thoughts in many places and see clearly that one must observe the level of intelligence, character and intentions of others. I once found this to be strange, however I am a Pastor and did ask to receive, wisdom, knowledge and understanding. One must be careful of what they ask for. You just might get it.

I noticed when I am around artistic people, I flourish artistically. I am a very creative person and have a love for poetry. I am also aware, that when I am around those who have a love for politics, I seem to gravitate more towards being an outspoken mouthpiece for justice. Either way, you must learn to push out the senseless nothings of others and follow your own heart. I imagine many have experienced this same thing and perhaps have mastered this task.

There is a scripture, “As A Man Thinks so is he”, there are also numerous sayings and books on this very subject, that give light to the power of the mind. Many things we hear, we tend to think are untrue or foolish, however I have found that this way of thinking is only because of the things we were taught earlier in life. I have experienced many profound things, that could sound unbelievable, to the Average Mind.

It is during times of uncertainty and positive thoughts, that the laws of attraction seem to work best. It is by Faith that these Laws are made manifest. You have to believe in something unseen, to become that which you desire. I imagine no one wants to think they are less than they are, however you must believe with all your heart that you can achieve that which makes your heart melt.

I have found that during times of immense Joy, I have had many miraculous things to happen.

 You definitely have to change the way you see life.

Butterflies

I see a silhouette of you
Walking through my mind
Everywhere I turn
You give me butterflies

Try to think of other things
No matter what I do
The day seems to bring me
Right there back to you

Frequently I travel
While you're no where in sight
My senses always tell me
Engage in fight or flight

You opened up my mind
Now I know you're real
The butterfly effect
Let's me know just how to feel

Mind and Body

          

Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra Manipura or manipuraka is symbolised by a downward pointing triangle with ten petals. The seed syllable is Ram, and the presiding deity is Braddha Rudra, with Lakini as the Shakti. Manipura is related to the metabolic and digestive systems. Manipura is believed to correspond to Islets of Langerhans, which are groups of cells in the pancreas, as well as the outer adrenal glands and the adrenal cortex. These play a valuable role in digestion, the conversion of food matter into energy for the body. The colour that corresponds to Manipura is yellow. Key issues governed by Manipura are issues of personal power, fear, anxiety, opinion-formation, introversion, and transition from simple or base emotions to complex. Physically, Manipura governs digestion, mentally it governs personal power, emotionally it governs expansiveness, and spiritually, all matters of growth. In Tibetan buddhism, this wheel is represented as a triangle with 64 upward pointing petals. It is the home of the Red drop, or red bodhicitta, which is the essence of feminine energy (as opposed to the Shakta system, where the kundalini energy resides in Muladhara). It contains the seed syllable short-Ah, which is of primary importance in the Tummo inner fire meditation, which is the system by which the energy of the red drop is raised to the white drop in the crown.
