Attunement

Usually each of us does not have issues with thinking or expressing what would be identified as positive thoughts or emotions. Unfortunately, it is a normal human response to avoid or wish to bury difficult emotions, and even in some cases those which might seem to be neutral but have become taboo as a result of societal norms. Sequestering your emotions and thoughts can be an appropriate way of managing them from a mental mind standpoint. These subdued emotions will normally not create problems when you undertake mindfulness or basic meditation, as the power of your mind can maintain them metaphorically under control. Even if these concealed thoughts or emotions are not leading to problems, be aware that you have pushed them aside. Suppressing an emotion does not admonish an emotion. The emotion still exists within you, secreted in the background of your mind and subconscious. So for your own wellbeing, you should take the opportunity to understand them whenever the time is right.

The state of affairs changes considerably when you start on the pathway to the awakening of your inner light. It is very important to know that suppressing or subduing thoughts and emotions, especially the unfavourable ones, can be perilous as you advance on your journey of attunement or advanced meditation. As you progress with your meditation techniques, increasing levels of the power of your Life Force enlivens your form. These energies flow into all parts of your being from the energy centres and along the meridians. As these energies circulate throughout the human mechanism, their increased energy can activate thoughts or emotions which have been hidden, and may have laid dormant for years or even numerous lifetimes in the body’s think centres and chakras. When these energies trigger one of these suppressed thoughts or emotions, the intensity of that thought or emotion will be increased as a result of the greater energy levels from your awakening. Hopefully, you can now comprehend why it is so necessary to know yourself, to be aware of and understand all of your thoughts and emotions, even those which you might not wish to deal with.

A common feeling that you may experience when starting to meditate is that of being anxious or nervous. First up, do not worry, as many people experience the same feelings when they do meditation, especially when starting or if they have had a gap or lapse in doing meditation.

When you first start meditation, you may feel uncomfortably awkward or out of kilter in some undefined way. This can be especially true if you lead a busy life, or there are lots of things which typically occur around you. These feelings are completely expected and a natural sensation as your mind has been used to the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life. The change of pace when you begin meditation can trigger feelings of anxiety or nervousness to name just a few.

If you do feel uneasy when practising meditation, then be aware it is your mind which is generating these sensations. It can be common for your mind to generate a FOMO (fear of missing out) as it attempts to re-establish its control over your life and your way of thinking.

There are several different ways to address your anxiousness when meditating. One obvious, but often overlooked method is to simply tell yourself that you are not anxious and it is just in your mind. Another effective way to help you feel less anxious is to simply lower your gaze to a spot on the floor or ground before you, rather than closing your eyes. Some other breathing techniques, such as Breathe with Purpose or Life-Force Meditation can assist you to become more comfortable when you start out meditating through the use of specially structured activities.

Nowadays it is very easy to lose the battle with Social Media such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Twitter, Quora, Medium, Pinterest, Tumblr, and various other apps taking hold of your life. Even though you may well have reduced your screen time with digital well-being tools, you might have noticed that your attention span has decreased, or that you become seemingly quickly bored by a topic and feel the need to swipe onto the newest fad. Consider for a moment that it is your mind which is winning the battle, and continues to draw you back to scrolling and swiping through Social Media.

If though, you wish to know yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, your brilliance and dark sides, then you need to discover some quiet time in your life. Discovering some quiet time means more than closing the app or turning off your smartphone, it is about really bringing some renewed focus to your way of thinking. Truly quietening your mind can be extremely beneficial for your well-being and quality of life. Choose a technique such as meditation, mindfulness or the more advanced practices such as cognition that can help you to boost your attention span and at the same time provide you with ways to assist in quietening your mind.

As humankind, we have been dwelling within this material manifestation for many aeons. Yet for most of us, the energy framework we live within is barely recognised and frequently misunderstood. For your improved wellbeing, and to attain bona fide awakening, the functioning of the intricate human mechanism needs to be both acknowledged and understood.

Some people are incrementally becoming aware of the existence of an energy which is distinct but associated with the physical body; this unseen power source is that of your Life Force. Know that as humans, we can see less than one-hundredth of a per cent of the identified electromagnetic spectrum. This restricts our perception of the diverse phases of energies which exist within the universe and within us.

Despite the fact that our physical structure appears solid, the scientific truth is that the structure of matter and the human physical form itself is predominately void. In addition to the aspect of the physical body, there are numerous additional component parts which comprise the entire human mechanism. These components all carry out indispensable functions within the human mechanism giving rise to form, function and the many aspects of thoughts, emotions and consciousness. Perhaps now you may begin to become aware that you are actually a complex and interwoven energy mechanism, and not simply the physical flesh and bones which we see.

The living vitalities which exist in all living things, manifest as your Life Force . While a lot has been blogged about the innate power source of the human mechanism, you may still consider that this is a mystery or a secret. You may well relate to your Life Force energy as an inner awareness, your genuine soul or spirit, to label but a small few. Some may see this idea of a separate indwelling power as mystical, strange, obscure or even intangible. The opportunity to work with your Life Force energies is not a secret nor an enigma but it is possible through the advanced meditation skills of Cognition (a real calmness of mind) and Ekagrata (focused thoughts).

We all want to reconnect to the spiritual or inner aspects of ourselves, but how often does the ritual supplant the actual endeavours? If you undertake meditation in the hope of enlightenment or knowledge, precisely how much time, and with whom you meditate, ought to not be the driving imperative or the reason for doing meditation. When the apparent aesthetics or actions become more important than our true experience and connection with the inner self, then ritual predominates and prevails over the spiritual discipline. It is then that the connection to your true self is lost and you lose your way.

What is more important in reconnecting to your spirituality is that your meditation or spiritual practice has really enabled you to reach within to your inner self. The greatest achievement is in comprehending how your spiritual practice has allowed you to change your heart and transform your thoughts and feelings into those of kindness and humility. Always make every effort to reconnect to your inner self through meditation or in your spiritual efforts as this can enable growth and bring to light a genuine and authentic awakening.

Stop and discover how to command your mind, instead of your mind, emotions and feelings being the commander of your life. Tapping into the energies of your inner light or Life Force through cognition can aid you to shift away from the patterns of your passive intellect. Doing so permits you to liberate your thinking as you release your way of thinking from your mental and emotional limitations and the associated reactions of the lower consciousness.

Using these skills of meditation or cognition in everyday life can enable you to shift your cognitive and mental wavelengths to become calm, well balanced and in control rather than the reactions of your lower consciousness being the master of your life and destiny.
