YOUR MIND IS YOUR POWER

YOUR MIND IS YOUR POWER
 
Working With Energy - Uriel Heals Article
 
We are surrounded by energy and if we could see it we would see countless particles of light. They would be in constant motion, moving towards us as we called them and then moving away to form whatever we called into being with our thoughts or words. 
 
The energy, like everything else in the Universe, has no judgment, so it doesn’t ask us if we want what we are asking for, it simply creates. It, unlike us, recognizes our power and it merely responds to whatever we create. 
 
It is also not aware of whether we are creating consciously, where we are asking for exactly what we want, or unconsciously, where we are creating from habit. It merely responds to our thoughts by manifesting whatever form they take.
 
Working with energy is how we use our power to create our reality. We do it every day, whether we are aware of it or not. From the kindness someone shows us to the traffic ticket we receive, from the people we attract to our financial status, everything that happens in our life is a result of what we direct the energy to do. 
 
When we are not aware of this power, we can use the energy in a very irresponsible and misdirected way, creating many things that we don’t want. We do that for several reasons: we don’t understand our power, we don’t know how to work with the energy, we don’t know how the energy works or we live in the past.
 
The world of today is very complex and can make us feel very powerless if we are not one of the powerful, wealthy or beautiful people that we see in the news every day. We wonder if they are more blessed than we are because they have so much and their lives seem so much better than ours. By not believing that we deserve to have as much as anyone else we are using the energy to keep what we want away from us. 
 
One of our life lessons is to manifest what we want, regardless of what others have.
 
We are the first generation to be introduced to our power and to have the knowledge of working with the universal energy. It’s no wonder that we are not aware of how to use it, since there have been few teachers until now. And we must overcome many lifetimes of believing that we are powerless, our lives are out of our control, our destiny is pre-determined and that luck is something that happens to other people. 
 
Once we accept that we have power and learn how to use it, we can use the energy around us wisely, creating what is best and right for us.
 
Since we have had few teachers to show us how to use the energy, we do not understand how it works and this is how we get ourselves into trouble. The energy is completely non-discriminating and non-judgmental, meaning it has not opinions, thoughts or feelings about how we use it. 
 
We can use it to create wealth or poverty, loving or disastrous relationships, joy or sorrow. It does not ask ‘why’ or whether this is what we want, it merely responds to our thoughts, words and beliefs. 
 
Once we understand that every thought we have is powerful and important, we can learn to work with and manage the energy so that our thoughts are focused solely on creating what we want.
 
Another way we create what we don’t want in our lives is by living in the past. We do this when we focus on what went wrong or how we were treated or how things did not work at some time in the past. This may have been true then, but we are always given opportunities to try again and each new day is a unique opportunity for us to create a joyful, peaceful and abundant life. 
 
We use these opportunities wisely when we realize that things can be different if we ignore past results and focus on creating something different. We use them unwisely when we give up before we even start because we’re afraid of repeating the past.
 
The energy around us is there for us to use and it waits for us to call it to action. It does not question our intentions as it responds to our thoughts, beliefs and words. When we are aware that every thought has equal power we know that it is up to us to use this power wisely. Whether we do or not, we will receive many opportunities to try again until we are learn to use our power to consciously create what we want.   
 
We can do this through easy or difficult lessons, by using the energy to create peace, joy and abundance or the opposite. And when we live in the present moment we remember that our life unfolds before us and not behind us and use our power to create the present from a point of possibility instead of from the past.

A Higher Perspective On Time

"Be mindful of how you approach time. Watching the clock is not the same as watching the sun rise."

-- Sophia Bedford-Pierce

What would your soul consider a waste of time?

To a soul, the only real time is right NOW. Not the future or the past. It lives in connecting deeply with the rich experience of each moment. Through awareness we can be in touch with our authentic self and how it perceives all of the energies and guidance around and within us.

"Chronos is clocks, deadlines, watches, calendars, agendas, planners, schedules, beepers.

Chronos is time at her worst.
Chronos keeps track. ...Chronos is the world's time.
Kairos is transcendence, infinity, reverence, joy, passion, love, the Sacred.
Kairos is intimacy with the Real.
Kairos is time at her best. ...
Kairos is Spirit's time. We exist in chronos. We long for kairos. That's our duality. Chronos requires speed so that it won't be wasted.
Kairos requires space so that it might be savored. We do in chronos. In kairos we're allowed to be ... It takes only a moment to cross over from chronos into kairos, but it does take a moment. All that kairos asks is our willingness to stop running long enough to hear the music of the spheres."

"He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses."

10 Ways To Raise Your Consciousness

1. Truth - Truth raises your consciousness. Falsehood lowers it.

First, accept the truth. Whatever you’re afraid to know lowers your consciousness.

Secondly, speak the truth. If honesty is a challenge for you, it’s because you aren’t being honest enough with yourself. Lies you tell others are shadowed by lies you tell yourself.

The more you’re able to accept and speak the truth, the more conscious you become. Raise your consciousness by uncovering and dumping all traces of falsehood from your life. Allow this to be a gradual process. As your consciousness increases, genuine honesty will come more easily to you.

Yes, there may be consequences when you switch from lies and half-truths to the full truth, but highly conscious people know that crossing that bridge is well worth the effect.

A short-term adjustment is nothing compared to the joys of living honestly and openly. It’s so much easier and less stressful to be yourself and allow others to do the same. Not everyone will appreciate the real you, especially if they’ve grown accustomed to a false version, but that won’t matter once you accept and appreciate yourself.


2. Courage - Courage raises your consciousness. Cowardice lowers it.

Courage is the gatekeeper between unconscious growth and conscious growth. As long as you remain on the unconscious side, life will keep throwing problems at you until you step up and take charge. When you face your fear, the fear vanishes, and problems transform into opportunities. But when you run from your problems, your fear only grows.

A powerful guiding principle to adopt is, “Whatever I fear, I must face.” The more fears you face down, the more conscious you become. As you master this lesson, eventually courage becomes less necessary.

Once you develop the courage to face any fear life throws at you, you stop attracting so many fear-based experiences into your life. This is why courage is the dividing line between unconscious growth and conscious growth.

The mastery of courage gives you the power to decide how you’ll grow instead of being a victim of the whims of fate.


3. Compassion - Compassion raises your consciousness. Cruelty lowers it.

A great way to become more conscious is to search for signs of unconscious cruelty and disconnection in your life. This can be very difficult to do since it also requires courage. We naturally resist facing our own cruelty, but it’s there just waiting to be uncovered.

Compassion is the root of unconditional love, a feeling of connectedness with everything that exists. Do you feel connected to yourself? To others? To animals? To all living things? To everything that exists? The more you develop this connection, the more conscious and aware you become.


4. Desire - Desire raises your consciousness. Apathy lowers it.

When you get clear about what you want, such as by setting a goal, you raise your consciousness. Clarity focuses your mind and gives you the power to think and act intelligently. You can feel this effect whenever you think about something you definitely want.

On the other hand, when your desire is unclear, your consciousness is muddled. Your thoughts lack focus and direction, and you merely spin your wheels.

Strive to become more clear about what you truly desire most, and your consciousness will expand.


5. Attention - Attention raises your consciousness. Distraction lowers it.

Improving your ability to concentrate will make you more conscious. Pick up a rock and give it your full and complete attention, and notice what happens. But allow your mind to be riddled with distractions, and your consciousness will sink. A distracted mind is a powerless mind.

Meditation is a great way to practice attention and concentration. Sit quietly, breathe deeply, and focus your mind as you do your best to tune out distracting thoughts. This is simple to learn, but it can take a lifetime to master.


6. Knowledge - Knowledge raises your consciousness. Ignorance lowers it.

First and foremost, know thyself. Think deeply about your life, and keep a journal to record your thoughts. Ask questions to which you don’t know the answer, and then search for those answers.

Look around you as well, and soak up knowledge like a sponge. Interact with your environment with a sense of curiosity and wonder. Study it. Learn from it. Experiment with it.

Strive to understand reality, including your role in it, as accurately as possible. The more accurate your beliefs about reality are, the more conscious you become.


7. Reason - Reason raises your consciousness. Irrationality lowers it.

Logic is a powerful tool of consciousness when used correctly. It lends structure and substance to thought.

However, the great challenge of logic is the avoidance of false assumptions. A single false assumption can throw off a lifetime of otherwise logical conclusions. So challenge all of your beliefs, and never have too much certainty about those that rest on clouds.


8. Conscious people - Conscious people raise your consciousness. Unconscious people lower it.

Seek out others you perceive to be at a higher level of consciousness than you are. Talk to them, ask questions, and enjoy their presence. Allow their ideas and awareness to infect you, and you’ll find yourself expanding in all directions. You’ll become more honest, more courageous, more compassionate, and so on.

But spend time with people at a lower level of consciousness, and you’ll gradually sink to their level. Their thoughts will infect you as well, causing you to become more dishonest, more fearful, more apathetic, etc.

Strive to find a balance between spending time with those who raise your consciousness vs. spending time with those you can help. Learn from those who are a little more conscious, and help those who are a little less conscious than you. In this manner you serve the highest good of all, expanding consciousness everywhere.


9. Energy - Energy raises your consciousness. Disease lowers it.

Take care of your physical body, for it is your primary means of interacting with the world. Energy gives you an ongoing flow of vital life experiences. But without energy you starve your consciousness.

Eat with an awareness of what you’re consuming. Exercise with an awareness of how you’re affecting your body and mind. Before putting anything in your body, consider its effect on your energy, not just in the short term but in the long term as well. Always ask yourself, “Will this produce energy or disease?”


10. Intention - The intention to raise your consciousness raises it. The intention to lower your consciousness lowers it.

Consciousness has the capacity to self-expand or self-contract, just as you have the capacity to grow or to commit suicide. In any given moment, you have the freedom of choice.

By genuinely voicing the intention (or by offering the prayer), “I intend to become more conscious and aware,” you will initiate the expansion of your consciousness. Holding the intention to improve in any of the previous nine areas will yield a similar effect.

Alternatively, you are perfectly free to lower your consciousness at any time. While it’s unlikely you would choose to do so directly, you can achieve the same effect indirectly by lowering your performance in any of the previous nine areas. By choosing to lie, to succumb to fear, to commit acts of cruelty, to remain ignorant, and so on, you put out the intention to lower your consciousness. And in so doing, you initiate a process that will attract more falsehood, fear, cruelty, ignorance, etc. into your life.


Every thought you hold serves to either expand or contract your consciousness. There is no neutral. So choose wisely!

Expand Your Imagination



Expand Your Imagination About What's Possible

Each and every one of us was born rich. We each have, at our beck and call, 18 billion brain cells, waiting for us to give them some direction.

The only limitations that exist are those we impose on ourselves. Otherwise, our brains do not know any limitations.

Our minds will believe whatever we convince them to believe. So, why aren't we living out our dreams? What's stopping us?

Most people are not living the lives they truly want to live because they are not thinking big enough, nor are they focused on exactly what they want to do.

The key to having everything we want lies in expanding our definition of what's possible and focusing on what we want.

That's it!

Once we believe in the possibility of anything and focus in on exactly what we want to have, exactly what we want to do, then our minds can take us there.

Your Mind Is Your Power.
