The power of the subconscious mind

A Rippling effect

Last month I learned about the power of our minds and how we can use them to gear our lives. My friend América told me and taught me about the power hidden in our subconcious mind and how by commanding it we can do miracles.

After an initial sceptical period, I am now convinced that it is true. Our minds are powerful tools that we can harness to create our reality.  Each thought is like a stone dropped into a lake, sending ripples out into our world to affect all they touch. We can choose our focus and how we invest our energy and become whatever we choose in each and every moment.

Real love

When I am not running workshops or seminars, I work at home preparing the material for Customized Training Services (CTS), my own company. While working on the development of material, as a way of relaxing, I browse the Internet and pick here and there some articles that catch my interest.

I came across one on Real love and I loved this part. So here I am quoting it, hoping it would make others reflect on something as important as finding true love.

"Real love is identifiable by the way it makes us feel. Love should feel good. There is a peaceful quality to an authentic experience of love that penetrates to our core, touching a part of ourselves that has always been there. True love activates this inner being, filling us with warmth and light. An authentic experience of love does not ask us to look a certain way, drive a certain car, or have a certain job. It takes us as we are, no changes required. When people truly love us, their love for us awakens our love for ourselves. They remind us that what we seek outside of ourselves is a mirror image of the lover within. In this way, true love never makes us feel needy or lacking or anxious. Instead, true love empowers us with its implicit message that we are, always have been, and always will be, made of love". (Taken from The Daily Om)

Live Every Day as your Last

"It's interesting to think of what it would mean to us if we let ourselves wear our nicest clothes and eat off the good china on a daily basis. We might be sending ourselves the message that every day we are alive is a special day and a cause for celebration, and that we are worth it. There is something uplifting about treating ourselves to the finest of what we have. It is as if we rise to the occasion when we wear our best clothes and set the table beautifully, as if for a very special guest. We are more mindful of where we place things, what we are eating, and who is with us. Using the good china, eating in the dining room, and taking the plastic off the sofa might be an invitation to be more conscious of the beauty and grace inherent in our everyday lives".

Peace

"We experience peace when we are in a state of mental calm and serenity. It might surprise you to notice how infrequently you allow yourself to be free from anxiety. Realizing this is the first step to inner peace. If you wait until all the details of your life are taken care of to allow yourself to experience peace, you will never feel peaceful because there is always something that your mind can grab onto to create anxiety. It is important to consciously set aside your worries and make time to cultivate inner peace. "   (Extract from The Daily Om)

Helping the World

I´d like to share these words about Helping the world which I extracted and adapted from The Daily Om.

Helping the world often takes no more than a moment, just a wish for the world is a beautiful gesture and can be done by even the busiest of people effortlessly. The gift you give each day need not be grand or attention-worthy because the broader benefits  are the same no matter the literal repercussions.

   We make our homes. workplaces, communities, and countries better and brighter when we think positive thoughts that echo outward, give donations of time or money, smile at everyone we meet, and lend those in need of aid our assistance.

   So much negative energy is generated by the suffering, pain and close-mindedness we are regularly exposed to, but we can counteract in a constructive way by thinking and acting altruistically when opportunities to do so arise.

   Once a day, you can affect reality, and you can reap the rewards of knowing that you are making the world a better place, day by day.

Happy Women´s Day to my friends, family, etc. Today I have to thank a man, my Dad, for teaching me that Education was the only way to navigate and that real effort was the captain in order to reach a safe port. Dad and I did not see eye to eye in several things and he struggled against his machista background but I know he would be proud to know that my brothers and I lead useful and happy lives thanks to him and my Mom.
