Subconscious Mind

Our thoughts are vibrations and we are the storehouse of these vibrations. Just like a recorder records all the information that we want it to store, our mind stores all the information that we want it to know. The quality of the CD in our recorder determines the quality of our recorded material; similarly, how we respond to different events and experiences in our life is determined by what we chose to store in our minds. The quality of our life is founded on our reactions. Do we choose to react positively or negatively is under our control if we are educated  about the universal and psychological laws operating beneath our conscious mind.. Many of us start giving an idea to our mind that our life events are not determined by us but that we are under the control of circumstances and people around us. This kind of energy flow brings the related outcomes.It is very important to understand that what our conscious mind believes to be right is accepted by our sub-conscious as reality. Our sub conscious readily accepts what we pour into our conscious minds.  Sub conscious mind is the creative intelligence within each one of us. Learning to tap into that infinite intelligence is a skill that can transform our existence. It is just like saying that when we wear green glasses, the world around us appears to be green also; when we put on red glasses, the world appears red to us. It is upto us to decide whether we feel the best by wearing green or red glasses. The world around us is the representation of our thoughts. Our emotions are also thoughts represented with greater intensity than any thought generated by facts. We learn to give meaning to life through the thought patterns accumulated over the years. These thoughts have been shaped as we were growing up. We prefer to use this set pattern of thoughts as a representation of who we are. Everyone of us has come to believe that this particular kind of thought we believe in is right but this may not be true of another person walking by our side. Simply educating ourselves first on the infinite variations that can exist in this world due to the infinite intelligence operating within ourselves can help us rid of many of the problems. This level of understanding can help at least in neutralizing a lot conflicts generated out of differences in opinions.

Developing Emotional Awareness

Cleansing a greased utensil requires a a great deal of effort and we are well aware of the fact that if we fail to remove the oil from the utensil with cold water, we must bring to use the hot water. We are well aware of the external things and how to keep them clean if they look dirty. Do we ever make the same conscientious effort to create awareness of our emotional patterns? We dig and dig deep into the things that are completely unrelated to our personal lives and spend many hours talking of things and people that have practically no relationship to make a sensible difference in our lives. We are simply unaware of our own energy flow and lack of this awareness sets our life into a kind of pattern that feels familiar and so gives a sense of security and pleasure. We go through ups and downs like the waves of the ocean but fail to see from the distance the pattern of rising and falling that  only a distant observer standing away from the ocean can see.

Creating emotional awareness is like setting a intention to be a distant observer who can see with complete clarity the rising and falling of the emotional waves that make or break our day. Developing emotional awareness is a skill and once we make make up our mind to focus on the emotions we create and relate to different situations and people, we are taking a step in the direction called self development.

Awareness Tip of the Day

Develop the habit of maintaining silence at the end of  the day for 5 minutes and observe how you felt during the day; focus on how your emotions fluctuated like the voltage of a bulb. This will make you aware of some of your  patterns.
