Quiet the Mind
Quiet the Mind - It is the threshold that allows inner wisdom to be heard and recognized.
Giving you the keys to being guided, having self-awareness, trust, and Patience.
The mind is meant to help you experience, not to have all the answers and responsibility we put on it.
*Practice- to gain control over the mind*
1. Hum to fill your head with vibration- it is difficult for the mind to carry on a thought when it is filled with noise
2. Give your mind a purpose- instead of allowing the mind to wander, pay close attention to what you are doing with curiosity, sensing every aspect. EXAMPLE: how does what you’re doing feel? Hot, cold, soft or hard? What do you hear? High pitch or low pitch? What can you smell? Contemplate what you like about your experience to learn more about yourself.
Guided by inner wisdom:
Inner knowing is the only thing you can really trust and comes from having sensory awareness. Being alert of your senses awakens your inner compass:
*Practice- receiving guidance & inner wisdom
Speak aloud for your words to have power over your body & breathe the intention of your words into your body so the body can feel your words.
Say; “I can quiet my mind.”
Say; “I can be present with my heart’s energy.”
Place your hands on your heart and breathe deeply with focused intention to feel the energy within your heart.
(Do this 3 times to feel the energy of your heart.)
Use your imagination;
Imagine you are entering from behind your heart, step into the center.
Speak to your heart;
Say aloud or whisper: “Hello my heart, I see you. I believe in you.”
Observe: How does the energy of your heart feel?
The heart is not used to you communicating with it; be patient and always respond with gratitude.
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness requires observing oneself; reflect with interest on how you feel? How do different thoughts affect your emotions? How do your surroundings affect your energy? Notice how you are breathing; shallow or full? How does breathing differently affect your body?
Get to know yourself; by witnessing yourself without judgement and without expectations.
Trust
When you are interested in experiencing the moment without expectations, it allows you to gain wisdom, to have clarity and trust.
How can you trust in your decisions if you are not aware of what is happening?
Reflect for a moment on a flower — no one tells a flower how to bloom and grow.
When we are observing the moment, we are fully alert, using our senses and interest to learn from what is happening.
Patience
When we trust that being in the moment will reveal what we need to know, we can have patience. There’s no need to control-and with that, we feel relief. Relief is felt by those who love us. When we have patience with those we love, they feel seen and appreciated, and loved-without patience, love is absent.
Love is the only thing that makes life worth living
