Mind Series- Part 3

 Mind Series, Part III- Be here, be here now, and experience your true limitless nature

In the last series, we discussed how meditative practice is one method of quieting the overactive mind that often negatively  impacts our physical health. In this article, we will further examine how to utilize the 3rd eye perspective in various situations. For example, people who suffer from paranoia are plagued with thoughts of how others are slandering them behind their backs. When such negative thoughts arise, gradual self-awareness will enable them to step aside from these thoughts and realize that the mind is playing tricks on them. There is no evidence of actual slandering, but rather it is the habit of the mind in making one think negatively. Therefore, without real cause or reason for the paranoia, the mind creates its own reasons in the mind to make one feel paranoid. If a person can consciously recognize the mind plotting against them then and only then can they separate themselves from the emotional drama that results from the paranoia and anxiety orchestrated by their mind. Like this, many mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and phobias may be alleviated by tapping into the higher consciousness that we all possess. 

The human race could cure themselves of every mental illness and perhaps physical illnesses that result from mental stress if they could loosen the tight hold that the mind has over them. After all, all physical action is rooted in a mental action, and likewise mental imbalance causes physical problems. Meditate, shut your thoughts, and think nothing. Embrace the warmth of the sun, and the movement of the wind, and let their sensation be felt on your skin, and just experience, don’t think. Don’t analyze. Let what happened, and what will happen, let them go. Practice distancing yourself from the mind on a daily basis. Start by a few seconds, then a few minutes and so on. You will begin to become in sync with the vibrations of the universe. Your experience of life won’t be limited to the thoughts in your brain, but rather a far more encompassing and enriching experience of being. Be here, be here now, and experience your true limitless nature.
