END YOUR INNER STRUGGLE : THE MIND'S IMPACT
It's not hard to master your mind when you know how. Learning this is just like anything else. You don't know how to drive a car until someone teaches you. You don't know how to gain mastery over your mind until someone teaches you.
When our thinking mind is overly stimulated or overly active, our thoughts stir our emotional body. We struggle to relax (or maybe feel lethargic all the time), can't get restful sleep (or maybe want to sleep all the time), are uncomfortable when alone, and tend to be exhausted or overwhelmed. We feel stressed, tense, and fidgety. We more easily slip into toxic habits, situations, and knee-jerk reactions. We experience chronic anxiety, fatigue, and perhaps depression too. We lack clarity and feel unsettled, making it hard to focus and complete things. Our immune system is compromised, leaving us vulnerable to illness and disease.
Living in a constant state of mental-emotional overdrive keeps us from connecting to our core self, which makes it difficult to heal or access our truth, power, and genuine joy. This is a setup for ongoing suffering, for feeling deflated, defeated, or lost — like we're spinning our wheels, doing our best, and yet keep finding ourselves unhappy.
But we can stop this struggle.
To overcome this, I practice and teach simple, specific techniques to cultivate mastery over the runaway mind. If we don't actively get a handle on our runaway mind, we live our lives ruled by inaccurate thoughts that dictate 95% of our behaviors, adding to our stress. To transform long-standing, hidden, and unhelpful habits in our psyche (which dictates the rest of our lives) takes a specific kind of approach, just as toning certain muscles in the body takes a specific kind of exercise. Once we know the approach that works, positive change is possible.
I've learned many simple yet powerful techniques that work really well to gain mastery over the mind. One of my favorites is meditation, specifically in the kundalini tradition. Back in 2000, I began an in-depth study and dedicated practice of the kundalini tradition. I found it so powerful that it's one part of what I teach and share. The great thing about it is that it's something you can do on your own to stay steady and genuinely happy, just like you can workout on your own to stay in physical shape once you know what to do and how to do it.
Part of what appeals to me about this tradition is its comprehensive nature, plus that it is at once grounded in science and deeply spiritual. Through this and other specific techniques, I transformed my life for the better and have a direct experience of how it works. I share a bit about this tradition here, for the curious...
