The genius of adaptive strategies

When you feel that something is not working on your terms or timeline, you may feel frustrated.  Its moments such as these where it pays to reframe events and recognize the genius of your brain's adaptive strategies. Yes! You are a true genius!

In order to gow aware of and accept your own sheer brilliance, it is  valuable to shift focus from negative energy and discomfort to grow aware of what is really going on.   Ever wonder what the signs and signals of your body-mind are saying? Ready to decode them?

Consider the examples of; anger, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, drug addiction, rashes, and self destructive behaviours and dysfunctional relationships.  Every human being is wired for survival.  The ego exists to self-protect.  This is what the body and mind are up to as you repress, suppress and dissociate from what troubles you. Its part of the strategy.

When ready, you can retrain your brain, your mind as well as your palette for life just as you can shift which foods and flavours appeal to you. It takes time to be attracted to and enjoy foods, behaviours and experiences of what is natural and good without self-judgement. Get ready to embrace a whole new way of existing.  Invite a new level of satisfaction.

From the moment you understand why you do the things you do, you are empowered  to make positive and lasting change.  This applies to not only how you view yourself, but also how you interact in the world.  As you let go and stop wanting things so badly, it seems miraculous yet suddenly, what you need comes to you without effort. Insight to ponder: what does surrender look and feel like in your life? What could it look like as you embrace it more fully?

What is the secret of attraction?

Contrary to popular belief, the secret of attraction cannot be learned.  Still, the idea of this natural force is something humans seek to harness and control. Many people assume its something you can pursue or have and wield like  magical power to turns heads.  Yet, if not that, you may ask what is it that actually influences what and whom you attract?

You may be surprised to hear that the source of your assumed animal magnetism is not what you think.  Sexual prowess relates to confidence, and appreciation of the physical body, but there's more.  Beneath the surface, attraction is an energetic force.  You allow yourself to feel it through acceptance and being aware of something deeper.  Its about raising awareness of a soul connection.

In essence, the source of true power of attraction is to tap into existing mental clarity.  That's right! This is about seeing through what ego tells you attraction is and focusing all faculties and skills to manifest the purpose known deep in the soul.  You know when you are in the presence of someone who lives in the now.  You feel peace and contentment of the universe without doing anything. Be the divine force inherent in us all.

"The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe." -Deepak Chopra 

Identify your synchronicities

Everything you sense and perceive is drawing your attention to what it means to be authentic or true to the love you are. The universe gives you opportunities to make conscious connections.  Synchronicities offer insight into deeper patterns of your true nature, into reasons why you listen and allow or resist the purpose of everything.

Humans exist at different stages of restlessness and self-acceptance.  You are the expert on you although you may temporarily forget how to access inner knowing of the being. You may feel happy about parts of your life and feel differently about others.  Every moment, your mind, body and spirit send you messages. There are no accidents. Yet, it is common for people to ignore or overlook deeper significance. 

In Self-Disclosure: Changes from Within, I invite readers on a life-changing journey.   Dialogue and exercises engage readers in uncovering the secrets of and underlying reasons for their own behaviour.  They learn how lessons present in unexpected places, what value is found in every set of conditions.  You recall how to listen to the inner voice differently, to sense and create more consciously.  Being self-aware in a given moment enables you to listen to the ever-present voice that knows what's best for you. Its all about guiding the self to discern reasons for love and fear and remembering that being open to all feelings serves your evolution.

This choose-your-own healing adventure inspires Cosmic Synchronicity.  This work invites readers to deepen the connection with their higher self, their sense of success, identity and ideals.  The deepest part of you knows lasting change only unfolds through conscious self-awareness and complete honesty with your true self.  How do you progress on your own self-disclosure? What do you gain from this process? Why is synchronicity meaningful to you right now? Join the dots.

"According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous." (quoted by Carol Lynn Pearson in Consider the Butterfly)―Deepak Chopra, Synchrodestiny

Deepak Chopra & access Higher reality

The higher reality that is you is always accessible and cannot be ignored forever.  What would you do if you come to realize spirit is not separate from the real you? What if you decide to move beyond limits of your physical points of reference and perceptual experience? What if other experiences are equally valid now? What if you stopped asking, 'is there more?' and settled into living what is? Transcend time, space and matter.

What is the universe telling you?

Many people question their purpose. They ask how to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning and direction in their lives. You reap what you sow. How often do you ask what the universe is telling you? How conscious are you of its replies?

1) Note nothing is external. Everything you experience outside yourself reflects some internal part of you. The universe reflects back what you project in thoughts and feelings. Your mental images and physical life are metaphors for what you know at deeper levels of consciousness.

2) Examine your entourage. Friends, close family, relatives, regular bloggers, strangers, each encounter in your life reflects deep beliefs you hold. Identify common threads.  Your reaction to attitudes, habits, preoccupations and choices, tell you about what you accept and reject about your hidden self.

3) Ask and it is given. If you sense you are unhappy or do not live th life that resonates with your soul, then you nurture counter-productive emotions deep within you that undermine your dreams. Eliminate incompatible beliefs within and certain conditions and obstacles disappear from external perception.

4) Take responsibility.  As people evolve to realize they are completely responsible for all their vibes, feelings and choices, they find inner knowing is life-transforming.  The energy of the universe can only bend to energy vibrations you possess and send out. To address questions, discomfort and doubt, take a closer look in the mirror. Everything you eat, drink, wear, think and feel reflects traits that evoke comfort of peace.

5) Celebrate the possibilities.  Recognize all options wait to manifest based on your inner beliefs and deliberate intention. Raising self-awareness draws attention to layers of inner complexity. You want something, yet the ego tells you to fear success or failure. Negative energy can be discerned and seen for what it is.  Notice what happens as you stop controlling. Thoughts come and go.  Dreams blossom.  You sense who you are.  Embrace it.

“There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.” –Deepak Chopra
