10 common mistakes & how to avoid them

Some people get drowsy or feel drained at particular times of the day. When do you feel most energetic or grumpy? You may feel prone to certain situations and struggle to grasp why. Consider these ten common mistakes and how to avoid them;

1) Believe mistakes exist. In truth, all experience is valuable and the concept of mistake is misleading. In essence, you convince yourself you have done something incorrect as a distraction from learning. To decide all experience is valuable shifts your focus from the illusive duality of right and wrong.

2) Choose not to pay attention. Deciding not to notice your behaviour suggests apathy or indifference and also possible unconscious motives. Anyone with this mindset is vulnerable to missed opportunities. Choosing to raise self-awareness empowers you to play a more active role in your destiny.

3) Blame circumstances on timing. How you choose to use the time you are given is what determines the nature of your life. If you hesitate to make certain decisions based on assumptionsabout "the right time," then you areunaware this mindset is problematic. Nothing is set in stone, now or ever.

4) Allow emotions to control you. Strong emotions emerge to reflect feelings about security, esteem and self-worth. People do not always realize that intense emotions distort their perception and trigger reactions that can be counter-productive. To shift in meaningful ways, make adjustments. Emotions can guide, but they are not your decision-makers.

5) Raise expectations. Whenever you anxiously await or anticipate things to happen, you forget about presence and get stuck in a future mindset. To heighten your expectations is to strengthen your footfold in the future. This does not help you as much as if you learn to dissolve yens for specific outcomes.

6) Assume you know everything. Pride, shame, fear of humiliation all surface in relation to arrogance. If you only believe you experience the truth, you are not open to receiving energy in form of other people's truths. Lao Tzu also adds, "Without going out-of-doors, one can know all he needs to know. Without even looking out of his window, one can grasp the nature of everything. Without going beyond his own nature, one can achieve ultimate wisdom... without undue exertion."

7) Ignore intuition. Not listening to your inner voice implies you lose touch with reality. Your mind, body and spirit are not consistently aligned. If they are, youhave unwavering faith in your premonitions and gut feelings. Trust in how to apply abilities is the secret of reconnecting to your core self. Unlock your inner door. You hold the key to intuitive understanding.

8) Allow dilemmas to perplex you. When you permit conditions outside yourself to control you, this distracts you from presence. You may be choosing to learn from a particular distraction, but recognizing it for what it is is the beginning of dissolving it. Choose to be solutions-oriented.

9) Be closed-minded. Not opening up keeps you in the dark about your conditions and what you are bound to encounter. To gain insight into what helps and hinders you, just observe whatgoes on around you. Work to transcendlayers of mystery and clarify what makes sense as you learn what not to do.

10) Get caught up in ego. A focus on material goals, external approval or competition suggests you are fixated on self-interest and measurable results. This kind of mindset invites energy imbalances.  Learning about energy healing and alignment is helpful in relation to psychological patterns. You can employ practical techniques to help detach from ego.

What happens through grace?

Some people ask how to describe a state of divine connection. Direct experience speaks for itself in ways words cannot. You may wonder how Spirit operates and regenerates through you. This relates Soul and Spirit.

If you sense truth is felt, grace may present as overflowing kindness, impulsive generosity and an unending flow of accurate information you tap into through gratitude. Maybe you shift to non-doing or realize what it means to just be.

Grace flows freely.  As you start to recognize your self-created illusions and lose interest in them, you starve them of attention.  They can only fizzle.  As you awaken from another layer of the dream, you feel joy and revelations like ;

1) enlightenment is here and now unless you resist it.

2) thinking about and analyzing questions becomes meaningless.

3) cravings and illusions are generated by an active, ego-mind.

4) a shift of focus to inner power is imminent.

5) neural circuitry of the brain is re-organizing.

6) feedback loops and karma dissolve along with views of a separate self.

7) energy frequency enables you to feel more present.

8) you peel away layers of human interpretation.

9) neurobiological pathways shift, re-align and stabilize.

10 ) senses sharpen and all expanding faculties to reveal themselves.

"Grace isn't a little prayer you chant before receiving a meail.  Its a way to live."

Retrace the dots & reprogram the mind

At any given moment, part of you is asking, "why am I here?" or "what is my purpose?" You are in process of retracing the dots of your life in order to make sense of it the best you can.

Even right now, every choice you make helps you explore reasons for being, thinking, feeling and perceiving. Part of you is interpreting and using energy vibration as a bridge to the next phase of life. Consider these ideas to reprogram the mind;

1) Recover your life force. This has never left you. It patiently waits for you to discern and correct your existing imbalances. You create situations to gain meaningful lessons.

2) Compose yourself. This is a stage of quieting the mind. Consciously breath and explore other techniques to bring mind, body and spirit to a new level of rest and calmness.

3) Discern impulses before they manifest.The mind functions primarily based on accumulated stresses from your perceived past. As you sense the build up of energy in certain parts of your body, you can link sensations back to thoughts in words, feelings and external self-expression.

4) Notice choices. The stress response cycle and emotional roller coasters are triggered by physiology and psychology. Learn to notice your own patterns. Detach fromthoughts and let them go before they manifest. Self-knowledge is power.

5) Listen to your instincts. Natural balance and flow of energy isa baseline that helps you realize when your choices are off kilter. You sense what evokes positive feelings and what feels right. The next step is to stop doubting yourself.

6) Reset your thoughts.Awareness of your thoughts empowers you at a new level. You can transfer self-discipline to the functions of your nervous system. As you learn to sense energy vibration, you can hold and diffuse intensevibration that does not serve you. Shifting focus rechannels energy.

6) Use due diligence. It has been said that effort is required for positive actions to be initiated. You grow to discern what happens to energies based on your responses to the world you choose to experience. Every choice you make offers messages that require attention.

7) Expand your sense of energy. As you move from unconscious to conscious awareness, you deliberately rediscover functions of electromagnetic and subtle energies. They flow along natural pathways and also get diverted. You decide which sensations to feel, when to develop or lose interest, and why to shift your mind away from people or thoughts completely. This is how you reprogram the mind.

8 Ways to rediscover supernormal perception

Human beings differ in their levels of awareness of and degrees of resistance to energy vibration. As you intuit power over the self and the forces of nature depend on your understanding of energy fields, then you begin to realize anyone can alter his perception. To be motivated to do so does not mean you consciously know how or achieve consistency.

If you are willing to adjust the nature and path of your learning curves, you may evolve to rediscover supernormal perceptual states. This requires levels of self-realization and an extensive de-conditioning process in the physical world. No human mind can grasp the reasons for this process. Yet, you can evolve to tap into it within and become a more active participant. How?

1) Explore meditation. This practice teaches power of now. You rediscover meaning in silence and stillness. You grow aware of breathing rates, appetite, thirst, basic body functions, limited senses, and also activate dormant parts of your brain.

2) Engage in Yoga. This physical and mental discipline involves learning a series of postures and breathing exercises. Practice leads to achieving new levels of flexibility and control over the body and mind, and noticing misplaced beliefs.

3) Attune to energy. A subtle light body (electromagnetic field) holds consciousness and is made up of small energy vibrations. What you think and feel translates into vibrations which interact or interfere with your base energy vibration. Endless energy is available to those who learn how to take it.

4) Recognize emptiness. This awareness emerges as you discern sensations associated with clarity and openness. Dormant abilities arise naturally. Through deepening concentration, you shift your sense of base energy vibration.

5) Chant mantras. This assists your mind to focus when it is scattered. By chanting mantras, one is able to produce a spiritual effect which is associated with the physical sensation of the chant's vibration. Each mantra has connotations.

6) Grasp how mantras work. This expands yourconnection to the universe and insight into how energy functions. As a mantra is repeated, the effect is felt within and without to create frequencies that evoke peace of mind. Consistency requires practice. Chanting mantras enables you to manifest the intent of the idea in physical form.

7) Discern conditioning.  This stage refers to how behaviors or patterns must be acknowledged and understood for what they is before they are transcended.  As you realize "normal" psychological attributes bleed imperceptibly into the perceptual realms, you begin to connect form with formless.

8) Link the manifested with unmanifested.  This perspective connects the realm of consciousness with where you are.  If you come to believe energy interpetrates states and dimensions seen and unseen, then how you experience energy changes.  Awareness shifts.  Doubt, anger, and fear dissolve. Energy re-aligns.  You no longer offer excuses to give life to what cannot be possible. You simply experience what is.

5 Ways to recapture the essence of magic

Magic is a topic that evokes all kinds of emotions. Human beings are often at a loss for words to express the power and influence of this concept on their everyday lives. Consider these five ways to recapture the essence of magic now;

1) Magic reflects hindsight. One view invites you to reflect on the evolution of perceived triumphs of modern Science.  Post the seventeenth century, the umbrella of Science absorbed much of what was assumed to be mystical. Magic has become a synonymn for areas of 'imprecise' Science not fully grasped, like astrology, parapsychology, quantum and metaphysics.

2) Magic demystifies nature. Another view suggests magic translates into correspondences among natural phenomena. These include universal laws like polarities, cause and effect, and degrees of energy vibration. Certain mathematical, spatial and multisensual analyses are purported to help control nature. Such unchanging principles help to explain what you are and why you exist. Learning to align and harmonize actions reveals natural abilities you have always had yet, choose to forget.

3) Magic invites confrontation. Another view prompts you to revisit unexplained concepts and the psychology of misunderstanding. Some people prey upon fears, gullibility, and preconditioned beliefs of others. Ask yourself why you would believe or disregard certain happenings that appear to contradict your own conditioning. What prompts you to reduce something that evokes discomfort in you to logical inquiry?

4) Magic explains supernatural miracles. Another view is raises awareness of human abilities to read energy vibration, to employ psychokinesis, telekinesis, and to dialogue with spirit who have passed over. What if your own view of an extraordinary event in the physical world does not surpass all known human or natural powers? What is presumed to be linked to a supernatural cause is a common or normal thing for beings who have reconnected with their inner selves.

5) Magic awakens you to masks of ego. Another view is that magic brings to light the possibility of experiences that contradict and reinforce ego. That is, magic offers a platform to launch fragmented and distorted thinking about illusions through black magic. It also enables you to become more conscious of all your attributes. In the latter, you grow to rise above thought and in the former, you fall beneath it.
