3 Easy Ways To Quiet Your Ego & Mind Chatter

There are many ways you can use to quiet your ego and clear your mind, but I will list 3 techniques that I like to use myself.  This is important to do if you want to accelerate your own self-growth.

A “busy mind” will only perpetuate worry and stress in your life because the ego thinks it is protecting you from harm if it is constantly on the lookout for negative things to happen to you.  But this is not the case.  If you are always worrying about negative things and thinking about past experiences that happened to you and what is going to happen in the future, you will continue re-living the same experiences.  It is a vicious cycle you must break in order for you to live a positive life.

Negative attracts negative and positive attracts positive.  Here is a great video from Psychic-Medium Sunshine Rose talking about this subject, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vqz6qT3_6E&feature=share&list=PL690CB765EF071C85

So now that you know why you need to quiet your mind, here are 3 easy ways you can use to help you on your path of positive growth:

1) Bring your attention to your body.  Feel the aliveness and vibration within.  You can start with your hands or feet and let the vibration run through your entire body if you would like.  Look at your hands and try to notice a feeling in them, you will either start to feel warmth, tingling, cold, or like a breeze is flowing in your palms.  Hold that feeling for as long as you want, focus on it and try to feel that in the rest of your body.

Doing this will bring your attention and focus on your body, which I find allows me to stop thinking and to quiet my mind.  When you quiet your mind you open yourself up to receiving intuitive guidance.  It is important to recognize and follow your intuition to help you to live your life’s purpose.

2) Deep breathing.  Take full, deep breaths and feel the air moving in and out of your lungs.  Feel your chest and abdomen expanding and contracting.  You can also call this meditation.  Imagine you are breathing in white, healing light that is filling up your body and when you exhale, imagine all your tensions and worries are leaving you.

This will help you to relax and it will become easier to stop negative thoughts from entering your mind.  Whenever a thought comes to your mind, just gently focus on your breathing again to stop thinking.  The more you practice the better you will become.  Even if you start doing this exercise for 1 minute at a time, with practice you can increase the amount of time you go without a thought.

3) Mindful walking.  You walk so much during your day, while you are walking you can practice quieting your mind.  What I like to do is when I am walking I will focus on taking 3 steps and breathing in at the same time.  I will then exhale on 3 steps.  Focus on breathing in and out in rhythm with your steps.  This is a great exercise to keep your mind quiet because you are focusing on two things, your breath and steps.

There you have it, 3 easy ways to quiet your ego and mind chatter.  If you take time to practice any one of these techniques you will experience more peace and love in your life and be able to stay calm during situations that were once stressful to you.

I would like to know what you think about these 3 techniques and if you have any other tips to add for quieting your mind.  Please leave your comments below.

Can I Have Big Arms AND Be Spiritual?

Okay, this post isn’t really about having big arms, rather it is about whether it is “spiritually acceptable” to improve your physical looks while working towards enlightenment.  Whether you are weightlifting, bodybuilding, running, yoga, etc…

There seems to be a belief out there that if you consciously work on your physical looks, or body build, then you are being “one” with the ego.   Or some people think you’re just brainwashed from all of the advertisements featuring skinny models with perfect teeth and perfect skin.  Well, they’re right…sort of.

Some people are totally engrossed with their ego and just want to look good in order to “prove” something to themselves and their peers-mostly their peers.  And some people just genuinely have a passion for improving themselves physically but at the same time are spiritual and have a love for other people and humanity as a whole.

Even if you are getting in shape purely for the ego, the attention you are placing on your body can eventually lead to a spiritual awakening.  When I first started weightlifting over a decade ago, I did it just to look good and be stronger than everyone else.  I didn’t believe in Spirit or God, I thought that was ridiculous.  But through the years of building my body and learning the best techniques and diets, I eventually reached a point where I wanted to start training my mind.  And that led to learning about spirituality and then becoming a Healer.

My point is, focusing your attention on your body can give you enough “quiet” moments to recognize that you are something more than just a physical being.  You will start to hear your Spirit and your Higher Self will start to shine through.

I still have the same excitement about bodybuilding and weightlifting as when I started, except now I do it to reflect my inner body and beliefs.  I am strong emotionally and spiritually and choose to have my physical body reflect that.  Also I want my body to be the best “channel” it can be by eating a clean diet and exercising, so that my clients can have the best healing experience they can receive.  I believe that if I am a clear channel, then I can create a clear space for people to heal.

So, Can you have big arms and be spiritual at the same time?  I think so.  I feel that the best way to “ascend” is to have your body, mind and soul in perfect balance and to be a reflection of who you are and who you choose to be.  Exercise can be a great spiritual teacher.

Tools You Can Use to Help You Work With Energy

I am going to share with you some of the tools that I like to use to help me work with energy and to open myself up to the higher realms more.

In the picture below are some crystals (clear quartz, rose quartz, aquamarine, citrine) I just bought from a rock and gem store near my home.  I’ll list the properties below.  I found the information at http://www.charmsoflight.com/

Clear Quartz Healing Properties:

Clear Quartz is known as the “master healer” and will amplify energy and thought, as well as the effect of other crystals.  It absorbs, stores, releases and regulates energy.  Clear Quartz draws off negative energy of all kinds, neutralising background radiation, including electromagnetic smog or petrochemical emanations.  It balances and revitalises the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual planes.  Cleanses and enhances the organs and subtle bodies and acts as a deep soul cleanser, connecting the physical dimension with the mind.  Clear Quartz enhances psychic abilities.  It aids concentration and unlocks memory.  Stimulates the immune system and brings the body into balance.  Clear Quartz (Crystal Quartz, Rock Crystal) harmonises all the chakras and aligns the subtle bodies.

This an Ascended Master Jesus Portal Card I bought from http://www.alphaimaging.co.nz/

Ascended Master Jesus’ energy flows from this card.  You can place it on a chakra point to feel the energy flow into you.

I burn Rose Incense quite frequently.  I was told by a friend that the smoke can go into the spiritual realms and can help with psychic protection.  I also find it to be soothing when I burn this.

These are just some of the tools that I like to use.  Please enter in the comments below what tools you use, I am interested in knowing what you think about these.

Inner Peace: When Everything Seems to go Wrong

You practice your visualizations and say your affirmations religiously, and just when your life is going good, everything seems to go wrong.

When things go wrong they can seem like an exaggerated scenario of the opposite thing you wanted to manifest.

You might think you have failed, but in all reality you are probing the emotions that are buried deep in your emotional body.  You have set this scenario up so that you can release the energetic charge behind it once and for all, and this in turn will raise your vibration and allow more light and love into your being.

Gradually you will become less interested in becoming attached to the situations that once triggered your emotions.  You will become more calm and stop reacting automatically to the undesirable situations that still present themselves.

Keep your heart open and mind clear during these times and you will overcome any challenge in front of you more quickly.
