I found out about this great platform today and thought I would start writing considering the current world situation. We're in this polarity mode at the moment which will only be more accentuated by the full moon in Capricorn. I can see that the media has a lot to do with the thinking/thoughts of the majority of the population. Everyone seems to be voicing their opinions and trying to convince others of their world views. This then creates conflict and anger arises. Even…

My posts will be concise and straight to the point. I know people don't have the time to spend reading long posts or watching long videos and this brings me to the topic of this post "Time". Time is an interesting topic as there only ever is now. There is no past or future but only the moment right now. There are many experts in this field who will tell you that if you are living with anxiety then you are living in the future. In you are feeling depressed then you are living…

See Your Thoughts As I discussed in the previous post, a great exercise is to stop at least 3 times a day to see what your thoughts are and to write them down. Another very powerful way to see what is going on in your mind is through meditation. Meditation is a simple exercise where you can sit comfortably with a straight spine and begin extending the gap between thoughts. While extending the gap between thoughts, thoughts will arise. Simply observe them and let them go,…

Catch your Thoughts Catching up on my previous posts now that I understand to write a full article. We have discussed meditation and observing your thoughts three times a day. Continuing on with those exercises we are now observing during the whole day when you notice a change in your emotions. Today when I was talking to someone I noticed I was getting agitated and losing my patience. Have the awareness to look at your thoughts during the conversation or circumstance.…

Food for Thought Continuing with the mind, now we are looking at what we eat and how it affects our thoughts which in turn affect our emotions. Alchemists will tell you that everything you put into your body will change your chemistry. They might be subtle changes or extreme changes like when you drink alcohol or take drugs. Even something like sugar will have major impacts and you notice that with children. When kids have excess sugar you will see just how their mood…

Write it Down After the first week of observing the mind and the thoughts that arise throughout the day one of the main comments are that many thoughts are in relations to tasks which need to be completed. There are many ways to resolve this and the one I prefer is to work on my tasks for the week on a Sunday. I like to reflect on the week which has passed and see what worked well, what needs work and try different things. You will know most of the tasks which need to be…

Media Mind We now move into external forces influencing our mind and thoughts. We are in amazing times with information everywhere. When you look at your watch you are no longer just seeing the time and date. Your phone no longer is just for making and receiving calls. In the past not that long ago, it was much easier to control the media. You had television and newspapers. You would watch TV in the morning and evening and maybe read a newspaper in between. Much easier to…

Weather Thoughts More on external forces which have impacts on the mind and thoughts. Let us look at the weather. As you continue on your journey of awareness you will notice the changes in your thoughts and what has triggered the change. The weather has an impact on how you're feeling which can be directly from the elements of fire, water, air, earth and the aether (universe). Start observing your thoughts without judgement and sense how you feel. It's not just that a…

Which Hat? We all wear different hats depending on the situation and circumstance. We have our family hats, our work hats, our friend's and relationship hats. We behave differently depending on which hat we are wearing and we also have different thoughts. This will be one of the most challenging aspects of your journey to awareness. What people say to you and what you see will affect your mind. It might not even be words but a gesture or their body language which will have…

Do you Believe? In our journey of awareness, we now look at our beliefs. What do you believe deep down in your subconscious mind? All your life you have been programmed to believe certain things. When you were a baby all that information flowed throw your mind without much of a filter and directly to your subconscious mind. As a kid, you started to develop your own ideas and start building your belief structures. Now as an adult you can begin observing your beliefs. Start by…

Dreams Catch your dreams when you can. It's your subconscious talking to you. Try and remember your dreams and write them down as soon as you can. You will easily forget the details if you wait too long. One technique to remember your dreams is to have a glass of water before going to sleep. There is a chance you will need to wake up during the night to go to the toilet and this could assist you with seeing what you just dreamt. There are many books out there which interpret…

Mirror Mirror On The Wall Another great exercise is to look at yourself in the mirror. It's important to look at yourself without any judgment. Your mind will start to find all the little things which could be improved. The mind might start to make comments on the way you look concerning health, age and happiness. Only observe your thoughts. Write them down after the experience as this will provide valuable insight into what your mind thinks of you. Your mind works in…

Sun Day (Sunday) This week we start with Sun Day. The Sun provides energy and energizes your body. If possible try and get out in the sun on a Sunday. The sun affects your conscious mind. The sun also enhances your ego so try and have the awareness if you start to feel like your ego is taking over on a Sunday. Try and get to nature and walk barefoot on the Earth. This will ground you. So the perfect activity for a Sunday is to be in the sun and grounded to the Earth (you…

Moon Day (Monday) Moon Day is all about your emotions. So as the Sun is fire, the Moon is water. The moon is responsive, receptive, reflective and works on your unconscious mind. The moon is a great example of how the planets do affect us as we are all connected to the universe. The Moon affects the tides and we are all made up of mostly water. Try and be mindful on Mondays how your emotions are and what your thoughts are. As usual, write it all down and when possible…

Mars Day (Tuesday) Mars rules our animal instincts for aggression, anger and survival which makes Tuesday a perfect day to practice patience. It can also provide energy, action and desire. Tuesday is about resolving conflict with the outside world and your inner world. Notice how the different days of the week affect your thoughts and feelings in different ways. By writing your findings down, you will be able to reflect and see if there is a pattern in your behaviour.…

Mercury Day (Wednesday) Wednesday is all about communication and is ruled by the planet Mercury. We live in amazing times in regards to communication. There are soo many ways to communicate these days. Remember that a part of communication is to listen and hear what is being said. Body language is also a type of communication. Use Wednesdays to observe your thoughts in relation to all the communication you receive and send. Great day to communicate with your loved ones. Give…

Jupiter Day (Thursday) Jupiter rules Thursday and is all about abundance. It is also associated with a sense of humour, goodwill and mercy. Thursday is a great day to see abundance everywhere. When you look at the sky, the stars are abundant. When you look at the ocean, there is an abundance of fish and the grains of sand on the beach. Looking at all the flowers in a field, abundance is everywhere. Spend Thursday seeing all the abundance in the world. Take the time to stop…

Venus Day (Friday) Love Friday's, as Venus rules Friday and it's all about Love. As the Beatles said, "All you need is Love. Love, Love, Love" The vibration and frequencies of love are all around, so become a receiver and transmitter of love. Love is one of the strongest forces in existence so let Friday become the day when you bring your awareness to love. Spread and share love. Peace and Love sienzuf

Saturn Day (Saturday) Saturday is ruled by Saturn and is all about rules, restrictions and boundaries. Saturday is a great day to practice balance and responsibility. Saturn reminds us that we do have a responsibility and we need to honour our commitments. Remember that boundaries are sometimes needed and this brings structure to our lives. Have a wonderful Saturday. Peace and Love sienzuf

Every day in every way, it's getting better and better On our journey through awareness, we have looked at external forces, friends, family and workmates.

We have also looked at what we eat, used techniques like meditation and breathing. This week we start to look at exercises for the mind. Today we start with affirmations. Every day in every…
