Who owns your mind: you or someone who says you’re supposed to be living with a psychic cloud of low professional self-esteem, uncertainty and egg shell walking because you’re in a new industry? The idea of a “syndrome” is different from feeling unsure in a specific situation. When we lack …
Desire. If the desire isn’t strong enough there won’t be enough energy to prompt action. Desire is like rocket fuel; electricity necessary to generate activity. A goal might seem like it’s important but through further self-reflection, it might turn out that a professional simply doesn’t want the outcome strongly enough. …
Blue – Throat – Expression / Communication Even though the blue chakra sits quite high up on the scale compared to many of the energy centers, it may be one of the most understood at a practical level. Sometimes it’s solely associated with the throat, but the voice box is a singular instrument …
Purple – Third Eye / Pineal / Intuition / Insight / Wisdom This chakra is all about sight and time. We’ll go backwards to the throat after this one. I think it’s pertinent to understand this before touching expression. Recall a time when you enjoyed an experience, perhaps so immersed in …
I trust everyone’s weekend was enjoyable. And had an opportunity to observe out there in the world related to Part 1. For those new to the mailing list, I covered some examples of how these internal energy centers traditionally defined as “chakras” operate and are being operated on by external forces. Specifically, …
New Age has been infiltrated. For some time now. A quick scan through The Guru Papers will show just how rampant the spiritual hijacking is in the consciousness community. It’s not uncommon for a woman to have recollection of some man sitting on the meditation cushion preaching high concepts to a group, only …
This work is prefaced by a Do Not Enter sign. They’re put up to prevent people from entering a space. Interestingly, Do Not Enters actually aren’t meant to prevent everyone,only those who aren’t supposed to have access. If you see a construction team’s Do Not Enter, it’s known everyone but the …
The fall season is near. Also called autumn. We can observe the changes. Cooler temperatures. The trees lose their leaves. General energetic quietude. It’s a contemplative season that invites us to go inward. Intensified thinking. More acute sensing. It’s a harvest season. Like every season, each carries particular energies and patterns we …
How we respond to a challenge depends on our relationship to it. We can be antagonistic towards it, engaging in a ceaseless tug-of-war towards an uncertain end. Sometimes its force is stronger, so it pulls us off of our focus. Distress triggered. Other times we gain the advantage and position …
Affirmations can be potent enough to induce behavioral change. By adopting certain power statements, we can alter mindset and the appropriate internal chemistry necessary to solidify the frame. It’s a body-mind process. While affirmations are proposed by many self-help gurus, people who have thought leadership seats may not even know …
Inspiration has a different texture from novelty. Something new doesn’t necessarily evoke inspiration. We can also be inspired by that which isn’t new. When it hits, we have direct verification of how important it is for flourishing. What is inspiration exactly? Inspiration derives from spirit [In = inner + spira …
For the industrious mind, any environment can transform into a learning space. That mind will just find a way to create one. We can observe examples of this throughout the economic-social strata, where children who were less fortunate resource-wise discovered ways to learn, found libraries, books, observed the public behavior, …
Success can be examined as a process, or activity of moving from one state to another based on the intention. Example: if the goal is to jog once per day in the afternoon, one can perform a self-assessment to discover the reason why this is a challenge. One can also …
Despite what’s being presented on the news stations, the number one health attacker in U.S. society remains…stress. Here’s how this state’s been operating for a long time here, creating conditions for more severe illnesses. Stress is a subjective state, meaning not everyone stresses over the same experiences or in the …
Enslavement starts with a mental process way before it reaches the physical manifestation people may be used to conceiving. When you capture the mind, the body is taken by default. When you observe people taking action without knowing their Why, can’t articulate their reasoning for actions, it’s a sign the …
This will be a continuous dialogue as I venture deeper into the software developer / data / cyber world. Even before these industries became prominent, positioned as attractive for the greater population to explore, the idea of data and its value has been around for millennia. Ancient Data Science From …
((This was a journal entry written early in March when the global health PNDMC crisis escalated.)) Peripheral vision is affected; the mask blocks the downward perspective (I tripped twice last year while walking over uneven ground; this never happens. I trip over something maybe once in two years if that). …
