Unlocking The Power of The Mind- Is there an easier way?
Science tells us that we currently use no more than 70% of our brain's capabilities. Yet we struggle to cram our brains with content in this, the information age, where it seems to be particularly important to 'know everything.' Then too, along with the cramming comes the seemingly fantastical claims that we can 'have it all'- including wealth, happiness, abundance, and breath-taking love- simply by making up our minds to it, and using our brains in a more productive fashion.
I have been around the block a bit when it comes to tools to work with my mind. I have done yoga, meditations, and body-mind-spirit practices where I go in the body to access the mind. I have read Louise Haye Affirmation books and cards daily. I have attended 12-step programs and read wonderful books to instill new and positive ideas and thoughts into my brain. I have attempted, with some good success through all of these methods, to reframe the very thoughts in my head.
But how do you actually achieve this mind over matter? How do you actually increase mental power? It is a question we all ask ourselves- even those of us that believe it to be possible. And in this age of enlightenment, I think a lot of us believe in this much-talked-about phenomenon. Yet as we try to do it, we seem so far from our far-reaching goals. And since we are human, our many successes go largely unacknowledged, creating frustration.
The Landmark Forum is a life-changing course that you can take if you want to get a good look at how the mind operates. In that course you will look at what it means to be human, and how your very 'self' is created at a young age. You will be able to then dissect the process to re-create aspects of yourself and cause yourself to be any way that you want to be. For instance if you are very shy- you can re-create yourself as outgoing. And do it naturally, with no struggle. One of the quintessential things you will do in this work is look at how the brain operates. You will find it often empowers you- but just as often does the opposite.
It has been said that the mind is a machine. It is a machine very much like a computer. When you input information into the mind's machine, the mind comes up with an answer. Unfortunately, sometimes what you put in the machine is intrinsically flawed information. Life gives the mind a scarring experience. Life gives it other people's words that cause pain. Life gives the mind physical and emotional trauma. Usually these events are not the average. They are not happening every day. But by their very oddity the machine that is the mind singles them out, and makes special note of them. It then outputs some negative thought into your brain that will stick with you for life- and may sometimes be so intrinsic that you can't even see it.
I have often wondered, is it truly possible that the mind can speak to the very cells in your body? Is it true that the mind can heal cancerous cells, cause you to lose weight, whether or not you diet, and allow you to become masterful at some task that even if you believe yourself to have no skill in that direction. I have wondered if this were the true meaning of the biblical term that 'faith can move a mountain.' Perhaps truly believing does cause miracles. Or perhaps the truly believing is the miracle.
There is a lot of speculation that you can skip over the hard work of 'mind over matter.' They say that you can give up your daily affirmations and bathroom books and simply train the brain in any direction you want- while you lay there and relax, and listen to a CD or tape. What a wonderful idea? They call this method brain entrainment, and I am told there are no subliminal methods to worry about. Personally I am inclined to give this method a try, and stop working so hard.
It is said that we can increase our mental power and access the power of our minds through brain entrainment. I am sure this is very true. But the true test for me will be will I do it steadily, every day, until the learning sinks in? Or perhaps I need to first buy the entrainment CD that will train me to do that.
