In order to heal the mind, we must fully understand the intricacies that are within what we would call our mind. Then, to heal the mind, thoughts, perceptions, and fragmentations that would allow us to experience total healing. 

The first most important detail in healing the mind is to understand fully that we are not the mind. Rather, the mind is a tool created for us to understand and decipher information. The perceptions our minds develop are shaped by the experiences we have and the conditioning we inherit. The more trauma we experience, the more our mind fragments into an unconscious state, leaving us with little awareness,  which is power in order to transform ourselves into wholeness. Fragmentation is the primary causation for internal arguments, hyper critical thoughts, resistance, which is to be “at war” with ourselves.

Next, the mind has the ability to think thoughts. Whenever we decide to think thoughts, we leave the present moment and our mental energy leaves into the mental realm or headspace where thought streams exist. Whenever we give a thought power and emotion, it becomes a thought form that carries its own negative energy. When we look a little closer, we can see that thought forms become their own sentient energy as an extension of our own emotions. These negative thoughts can look like a black or negative cloud, void of life force. It is like an empty clay shaped by the emotions and power we give them. These thought forms, through repetitive belief in them as your own thoughts, grow in power, not because they have any, but because it feeds off of the power we have given them. Some of us may refer to them as demons, entities, or tulpas, but in essence, they are negative thought forms that have no power. 

Negative thoughts can feel sticky, as they tend to be representative of the opposite of how we truly feel. Those of us who are in the self awareness or self help community can tend to question ourselves to the degree that we believe and react to the thoughts as if it was us.

When we start to spiral down this way of thinking, these thought patterns only intensify. Whenever we finally work through one fear or shame around a negative thought pattern, another one crops up. We may find ourselves having “ODC” quality thoughts, where they become obsessive, repetitive, and thinking opposing thoughts become ritualistic in order to feel safe. Prayer and affirmations become the only way to feel safe in our minds..thoughts now become a danger zone for those of us who suffer from this kind of thinking. The despair we feel as these thoughts pull us out of the present moment can leave us in a constant state of stress to combat them with all sorts of gymnastics that do more harm than good.

We may be strongly disconnected from our emotional truth if we are too concerned or believing we are our thoughts or even our minds, not fully aware of how the subconscious mind works or how to get in tune with it rather than giving power to thoughts, which is NOT the subconscious, rather, ignorance on the true nature of self, presence, and the subconscious mind. 

In this case, those of us who know negative thoughts are not true, begin to believe the thoughts are true because we “attracted them in”, and they are some part of our subconscious mind which is some sort of illusive place of unknown information about ourselves. 

The subconscious mind is never out of reach, we never need to hire someone else to help us discover what we feel because it is always accessible now, in any given moment. We can find our subconscious mind through a wormhole of our negative emotional reactions towards any subject matter. Nothing within the subconscious mind holds any power unless we give it power. All we have to do is become aware of the trigger rather than make a different choice in order to change our internal state, with repetition as the triggers arise. This is easy when we learn to detach from our emotions and perspectives, identification with them is not necessary in order to heal or change. This can be a difficult belief to have when we are in the spiritual or healing community that really enforces identification with our wounds that may prevent us from transforming them. 

There are many processes that I have developed during my journey into healing my mind that I will share in an ebook/course in the coming future. My discourse community will allow anyone to ask me questions or get support should the need arise. Expect guided meditations, courses, and ebooks that will empower us to come back to our true self, which is the observer of it all…

All the love,
