TABLE OF CONTENTS
I believe that the power of our mind is themost unexplored and underestimated power available to us. Each oneof us obviously has a mind, but not everyone knows how to use it toits full potential. The ones that do, are light years ahead of therest, who are left behind feeling helpless and powerless.
Nobody said it was easy or effortless toachieve a state of piece in your mind, but it is absolutelypossible.
To be able to still, focus and direct yourmind to where it can create a positive change in your life: thatmeans you have learned to truly use something you were born with.Regardless of how gifted or intelligent you are, you have thecapacity to achieve control of the power of your mind. When yourmind is properly understood and activated, you become an activeparticipant and co-creator of your life, as opposed to just andobserver, watching and waiting in fear and helpless anticipationwhat may come your way. I am here to remind you of that fact andshow you a hopeful and optimistic way out of the haze of everydaylife where you may feel overwhelmed and hopeless. I believe thatyou can consciously change your mindset and thus your life.
It is all about practice and mindexercise.
Training your mind to obey your directiontakes discipline and work.
But it can be incredibly adventurous,exciting and definitely fun.
The end result is beyond rewarding. It issimply life altering.
Every day presents a new beginning, newopportunity for a new experience.
No matter how restricting the lifecircumstances you are facing seem to be, your mental disposition inconquering a challenge plays a key role. Your inner dialogue isyour constant companion - cheering you on or dragging you down. Arewe truly aware of the crucial effect of our inner dialogue?
It all begins in your mind.
Do you want to be open to new possibilitiesfor a happier more fulfilled life?
Are you stuck in old mind pattern and cantseem to dig yourself out?
You always have an option, a choice:
do you move forward or leave things as theyare?
Even if everything that surrounds you seemsto be at a standstill, your mind is always free. You can rethink,visualize, create and imagine a positive conclusion to any problemyou may be facingand again, it all starts in your mind.
The true astonishing power of our mind isstill undiscovered. Speculations that we use only 10% of the brainis merely guessing which leads us to believe that perhaps we onlyunderstand 10% of the brain.
Leaving the scientific discussions aside,one thing is however clear: there are undiscovered, unknown andmysterious facts surrounding our brainpower and our mind. The powerof ones thought is definitely a force to be reckoned with, like anenergy signal that creates a ripple effect of un-tangibleproportions.
We have all experienced the almost spookyquality of mind reception and uttered words like You just read mymind or perhaps I was thinking the exactly same thing. But howcan you explain this mysterious occurrence?
The power of our mind is beyond fascinating.It is absolutely mysterious, magical and almost frightening. Wehumans often fear what we dont understand, cant see or touch.
But think about the ever-present thoughts,the visual explorations of our future possible events and theamazing effect our inner dialogue has on our life. It is timeless,limitless and allows us to travel wherever we want without time,space, comfort or budget limitations.
To me, this has always presented anincredible fascination and challenge.
I remember as a child wanting to understandeverything: why are there stars in the sky, where do the galaxiesend, how to travel thru time, or visit the different dimensions,other intelligence, what were the secrets of the mysteriousEgyptian past and all the magical possibilities of the future. Iwould think about it for hours and could not find peace until Icame up with some sort of acceptable explanation provided either bymy father, some reasonable self-made theory or a selection ofbooks. My father who is a deeply spiritual artist and was an artprofessor, always patiently answered my most intricate and neverending questions. He also left much space for my own innerreflexion and subsequent conclusions. Discussions with him did notsimply provide an answer, but challenged me to explore further intomy subconscious and search for an answer within my own intuition,logical thinking and of course plenty of imagination with it. Moreoften than not, his answer was to pose me a question in return andthat prompted me to search deeply within for possible answers.
In the many years since then, I continue mydiscussions with him and they remain equally fascinating to me, butobviously deeper, more complex and intricate. Most of the time welaugh and agree how little we humans really know.
I feel incredibly fortunate and grateful tohave him in my life.
My life has presented me with uniqueopportunities to personally meet various true yoga Masters fromIndia, and I have always enthusiastically asked them every possiblequestion about the power of the mind. Some answers were astonishingand I still cant wrap my mind around them. But as expected, thruthe years my knowledge has expanded and ripened. With time, lifehas brought me many challenges, difficult transitions, profoundchanges, gains and deep looses, but everything that I haveexperiences so far has brought me even deeper conviction andrealization how important and crucial a positive mind set is. Thatis why thru it all, I still consider myself an extraordinarilylucky individual. I remain an optimist and always strive to see aglimmer of good even in the darkest of hours. This belief hasgotten me thru most amazingly challenging and exhausting lifesjourneys. It was with the power of my positive mindset and focusedvision of a victorious outcome that I remained steady on course andconquered the seemingly helpless circumstances.
Life taught me and proved again and againthat the power of mind truly works and how indescribably importantit is to be conscious of our every thought, mind projection and ourfuture that we envision.
