Yes, you can use the power of the mind to not only change yourself, but also influence things around you as well. In fact, you already do this on an everyday basis, sometimes without even realizing it.
Whenever you are daydreaming about something, and then it happens, that is the power of your own mind. Ever go to bed and as you fall asleep say to yourself, ‘I have to get up and such and such time,’ and then end up waking when you wanted too? This also is a perfect example of the subconscious mind at work.
In fact the more scientists research quantum physics it seems that our whole reality is in fact merely a product of our own mind. That our mind power is in fact reality.
Eastern religions have demonstrated the power of meditation and mind power for centuries. With their definition of reality, real things were believed to exist because we have imagined it.
It seems rather ironic that in this so called ‘enlightened’ age of ours, our scientists are looking at historical scrolls and texts to find out the true nature of reality!
Reality is then believed to be a product of our minds. Then it is only logical to think that if we need to make changes with our reality, we needs to start working with our thoughts first. To be able to change things, we need to first appeal to the power of the mind.
To do that, we need to first establish mental conditioning. Unnecessary and irrelevant thoughts must be separated from our hopes and dreams. Through meditation, you can effectively clear out your mind and start fresh.
Sit in a darkened room in a comfortable chair. Close your eyes and start deep breathing exercises, breathing in through your nose, out through your mouth. This take a few minutes, and you may feel a little light headed. Don’t worry, this is because of an increase of oxygen in your system and completely normal.
Start by picturing in your mind that you are sitting in front of a tranquil pond, full of small pebbles. These pebbles represent every day thoughts and ideas that are constantly entering and exiting your head. Picture yourself removing these random thoughts one by one, clearing them out. Once this is done, you are ready to unlock the power of the mind. One the one side you have a pile of these random thoughts, on the other you have another pile with wishes and wants.
Don’t have wishes for impossible things like world peace; these are relatively unreachable by one person alone. You can wish that you can help the planet by recycling or other things. For example, you can wish to find a dream job, one that you will enjoy, but be specific about what you want.
For example, if you are having trouble in your relationship, you could wish for help communicating with your partner. While you can’t make them communicate with you, you can influence them by improving yourself.
You need to understand that although the power of the mind can bring positive changes in your life, it might not happen right away. Some things like relationship troubles take time. Unlocking the power of the mind is not something that you can work out in one sitting, but you can start with simple things like positive thinking to make progress.
Although the power of the mind is powerful enough to help you live your ideal self and ideal life, it still needs you to do your part. Hoping to work out a relationship without extending effort to actually talk with your partner will not make things any better. You have to remember, while your mind has the power to improve your life, it needs you to direct how those changes will ever come about.
