God is the ocean of Spirit; we are like waves that rise and fall on the ocean’s surface. To one involved in the drama of relative life, who is attached to success and fearful of failure, attached to good health and fearful of illness, attached to physical existence and fearful of death, human experiences appear to be the only reality. To one who is established in nonattachment, everything is perceived as God. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda

As we know with our work within the context of Family Constellations and Trans-Generational Healing, the natural flow of love from grandparents to parents to us as children and on to our own children is often blocked and diverted by events that have taken place, either in this generation or in previous generations.
 
Whenever trauma takes place, whether that trauma be that the loss of someone very dear to us or an event such as violence, wars and other socio-political circumstances, we most often withdraw from our essence and live through our defences and masks.

As children, we can feel all that is unsaid and all that is felt which has a deep impact on our own ability to live from our natural essence. When we become aware of any void that may exist between ourselves and a parent we often try to fill that void with constantly searching for its replacement - be that attention from others, material possessions, addictions or constant intellectual stimulation.
 
As children, an especially as infants, we instinctively know that our very survival is dependent upon the love and care of our parents and guardians. When events take place that cause us to feel abandoned in some way, we are traumatised by this. This kind of trauma does not necessarily need to be one specific event, but can be the result of frequent feelings of abandonment that lead us to feel alone and we question our very ability to survive. When this happens, we instinctively lock our core essence deep inside, literally imprisoning ourselves.

Ponder this question….

Can reality be what you choose to focus on?

Hmmm…

Hold an unpleasant and painful memory in your mind. Within moments you can relive the experience emotionally. Your brain will create an onslaught of chemical signals to your body, the same chemical effects almost as the original experience.

Your conscious awareness is dictated by what you choose to focus on. You selectively place your conscious awareness on the information you choose.  You can project it into the future or anchor it to the past.

Reality exists wherever your mind is.

Trust your inner feelings; trust what feels good, for what feels good is the measurement of your success.

“I feel good, I feel fine, I feel this way all the time…I’m alive, I’m awake and I feel great!”

I’m energized and feeling good today….want to join me?

Do you remember the line in the Frankenstein movies, “Its Alive!”?

Well, guess what? It’s true. Your brain is alive. It’s alive…. and it’s electric.

Your brain is an electrochemical organ putting out electric signals, every time you have a thought.

Your thoughts have physical reality, a physical reality that can be measured as brain waves. Cool, huh?

So what does this mean to you?

Your unique thinking and your unique patterns of thought create your brainwaves and mental state, and ultimately your environment. Dr. Joe Dispenza of “What the Bleep Do We Know” and author of Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind  says,

“We think equal to and never greater than our environment.” ~ Dr. Joe Dispenza

Folks I’m having an amazing time in my hypnotherapy class, learning about brain waves, brain states, and how they relate to meditation and self-healing. In fact, it’s resurrected my interest in a brain training course I completed two years ago with Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler of Quantum Self.

Brain training is a fascinating topic, eloquently and practically communicated by Dr. Jill. If the topic interests you, be sure and check out Dr. Jill’s amazing brain tools at Quantum Self.  

Speaking of Dr. Jill, here is an interesting introductory video to her work: Inner Space
