4 Ways to move beyond addiction

Addictions are extreme behaviors that arise in a person who believes he is incomplete. People develop compulsive habits for different reasons. Each person is on a healing journey.  If you dream of being anywhere other than where you are, you refuse to believe healing and redemption are available now.

People consume too much of things when they are under the illusion they do not have enough. They over-indulge in activities as they do not consciously feel satisfaction. They behave in ways which they believe compensate for deep-seated fear and perceived lack and yet, a sense of restlessess lingers.

To move beyond unhealthy behavior, a person must evolve to recognize extremes. As you choose to explore reasons why you permit extremes to arise, you also have freedom to explore feelings that perpetuate and dissolve them. The path to wholeness invites you to recognize different sides of yourself;

1) Address the physical level. Based on gender, unless you are a hermaphrodite, you are male or female or what appears to be half of a whole. You are attracted to whatever you sense is missing. Sexual intimacy is one way human beings seek to fill a perceived gap. For many people, this a short-lived experience because the sense of union does not last. A return to oneness raises the issue of energy polarity and why opposites attract.  Certain kinds of love are addictive yet they do no serve you.

2) Examine the emotional level. Addictions arise based on the unconscious refusal to face and work through pain and related issues.  Whatever you are using or doing to an extreme evokes discomfort precisely because it draws your attention to what bothers you underneath all that.  You surpass the threshold where your chosen distraction is no longer effective.  The pain source is more pronounced.  As you move beyond ego substitutes for needs, another part of you awakens.

3) Review the psychological level.  To identify with the mind is to falsely identify with an external sense of self.  In other words, you may create an identity based on your social position, material items, money in your possession, physical appearance, perceived approval and conditioned beliefs.  To deny ego is not the same as choosing to understand why it exists.  As you stop focusing on self, you dissolve reasons for fear.  To consciously empty the mind is to stop resisting what is.  An effective trigger for change is to completely accept others and yourself. Turning off the judge takes you beyond ego. That is, the inner critic and will to punish, dissolves.

4) Explore spiritual connections.  The non-material, non-physical reminds you of the power of presence.  This draws attention to the reality of timelessness.  As you learn to live in the present, you sense unmanifest reality. Part of you yearns for an end to duality.  This is experienced through connecting with everything.  You consciously remove veils of illusion and form to sense pure love.  Suddenly, energy aligns.  You feel it.

5 Ways misery helps you

Misery is a concept that often alienates human beings. If misunderstood, it perpetuates a destructive cycle. When you reflect on sources of pain, this may trigger anger, bitterness, and more negativity. Misery is a state of mind that lowers energy, strips you of vitality, focus and alertness.

Part of you may wonder how things could be different, how some happening could save you. Your dreams may seem to shatter. Certain experiences leave you baffled or disoriented. Rather than ask how whatever it is could happen, step back and consider 5 ways apparent misery actually helps you;

1) It invites you to change direction. Discomfort is a wake-up call. Why do you choose to struggle? to perceive chaos? As you stop thinking, you find you still exist. Thoughts distract you from self-acceptance you have always had.

2) It is an opportunty to refocus. As you realize you misinterpret and distort situations, even blow them out of proportion, you realize you can shift your perspective. This discovery enables you to regain inner power.  This is an opportunity to teach the self what it means to be unconcerned.

3) It draws attention to mental patterns.  Suddenly, you realize you have choices to experience anguish or non-anguish.  You feel devastated by explosive energy or, increasingly present and aware of what matters. Either you must disappear or sources of undesirable thoughts must go.  What is shrinking?

4) It reminds you who is master. How long have you conceded to leave the mind in charge? To realize the mind is an passive instrument and you are the master changes everything. Learn to put mind in line.  Mind cannot assert without your consent. As you tame it, inner violence ceases.

5) It confirms bliss is ever-present. As you detach from mind influence, you rediscover what else exists. In this way, misery is a teacher.  To move beyond mind as an obstacle is to realize it is also an opening to joy. You sense the mind is a passage for whatever energy you choose to attract, allow and accept.

10 Revelations to prick the ears

Whatever seems to be transpiring in your life at this moment is not the energy you are reading.   Whether or not you realize it, you are in the process of reevaluating what has lasting value. 

Part of the reason you arrive at this stage of awareness is you prepare to open doors to expand perception.  So long as you continue to attune to energy, discard what is not working, you get all that much closer to  understanding the experiences that share eternal truth.  Consider 10 revelations to prick the ears;

1) Decide you do not want and ensuing events do not matter.

2) Move beyond names and form to heal false vulnerabilities.

3) Sense energy rhythms need not be affected by personality. 

4) Detect potential weaknesses are polarities of true strength.

5) Realize effectiveness grows by how you feel, act and react. 

6) Embrace lessons you gain from every cycle of energy flow.

7) Choose to perceive blessings in apparent tragedy or crises.

8) View turbulent emotions as the road to deeper inner peace.   

9) Know the grief of what might have been, and yet is not to be.

10) Enhance the immune system and spirit with consciousness.

5 Ways to surrender to flow of life

Many people will assume surrender means giving up something good, that is, sacrificing what they think they want. Yet, true surrender is something quite different. It is the key to balance, integrity and reconnecting with who you are. It is possible to evolve to sense surrender as precisely what you are.  That is;

1) Without resistance.  Your core harbors no negativity, no anger, no grudges, no frustration and no misunderstanding about self or the physical world.  Resistance is in mind alone.

2) Accepting of what is.  Your core reveals you need not change people.  This part of you is tolerant, grateful, understanding, able to reframe limitations as inner deceit. Further, focusing on now releases the illusion of suffering.

3) Yielding to natural energy flow. Your innate state does not judge or express emotional negativity. To detach from everything, cease to label or judge.  Embrace what is.  Take it in. Relate positive action and feelings without hesitation.

4) Offering relief.  Your core is untouched by fluctuating conditions, mindsets, reactions, obstacles and disruptive individuals.  Physiology, biochemistry, biology and unseen elements of mind- spirit, all adapt to changing external events.  Discomfort is its own lifeblood. The core is oblivious.

5) Inner Knowing. The universal insight of consciousness reveals you realize what is required of you.  Part of you recognizes events unfold without reason for dismay and dissatisfaction. The order of things is based on being alert and present. Your human being is changing vibrational frequency.  

"The creative process is a process of surrender, not control." -Julia Cameron

Discern energy as a self-portrait

Every human being is in the process of making choices in the physical world.  Every thought and feeling has an energy vibration that contributes to multi-dimensional patterns.  That is, sheets of energy vibrate on frequencies undetected by conscious radar.  What does it mean to your sense of realities?

Although a being's sense of "normal" experience is expanding, not every being chooses to be consciously aware.  In cases where you experience phenomena that other beings do not acknowledge or accept, they may view wider perception as 'extra-sensory' or, beyond explanation.  This reveals that perspectives can be rigid and static or flexible and fluctuating.

To take this a step further, consider mental attunement.  As you begin discerning energy vibration, you can learn to consciously discipline the mind and notice your own energy differently.  This is a new level of self-discipline. As you begin to mentally scan a variety of possibilities and timelines, what you take in with human senses changes. You begin to tap into altered realities and learn to shift interchangeable outcomes.

Consider how human beings question which aspects of their physical lives are illusions. Human beings do not always trust what they discern using their basic senses. They often doubt, scoff or disbelieve. Among those who do evolve to trust, some evolve further to experience intelligent light energy. This is a means of opening a door to much deeper consciousness.

By and by, you may come to discern energy as a soul mirror and self-portrait. The intensity of energy you feel through attitude, beliefs, emotion and unattained ambitions, offers insight into states of your character. The energy vibrations you receive determine whether you absorb uncluttered truths and to what degree you continue to perpetuate misunderstanding.

As one chooses to widen vision, to sense possibilities, one slowly reads energy. To sense soul-level energy is to begin to grasp form and features change based on one's personality and mental blocks. What you are willing to experience differs from what is. Mind power makes it possible for anyone to discern color and texture of energy layers and what exists in between.
