HJ: In this article, Dr. Dyer states that awareness is the first step in working with and healing the subconscious mind, and indeed this is so. Until we become aware of the fact that we are often unconsciously operating from the subconscious mind, we are indeed at its behest. Once we become aware of this through introspection, teachings or writings, we can begin to unravel the mystery and clear out those patterns that no longer serve us.
Wayne’s timeless, Buddhist-esque prescription for working with subconscious is mindfulness, and indeed this is a time-tested powerful way for changing subconscious patterning and programing. It is one of many ways to work with and trasform unconscious habits, and one that works well for those with discipline. Nothing is concrete, everything is up for grabs. If one has the necessary strength in will, anything can be achieved. No matter how strong the subconscious tendency or programming, it can be overcome through mindfulness, which necessitates and encompasses discipline and will. These characteristics all go hand in hand and are a powerful triad which can be used to achieve anything one puts their mind to. Read more of this post

The word Zen is derived from the Sanskrit word dhyāna, meaning “meditation” or “meditative state.”
Zen is a school of Mahāyāna Buddhism founded by the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma. Zen emphasizes experiential wisdom in the path to attaining enlightenment. It favors direct self-realization through meditation and dharma. Meditation is the core aspect of Zen practice. Zen meditation is formally described as a sitting meditation with awareness being directed towards counting or watching the breath. Experienced practitioners of Zen meditation strive to be aware of the stream of thoughts in their minds, allowing them to arise and pass away without interference. Read more of this post

HJ: The idea that only certain people born with special gifts or talents have the ability to see auras is patently false. The truth is that everyone has this ability. It is a sense just like taste, sight, touch, smell, or hearing, however, it is one that is not always readily accessible (except for a small percentage of people who retain the ability to see the aura into adulthood — we are all able to see auras at a young enough age). For most of us, it requires practice and learned sensitivity to subtle energies to be able to do so. The secret key to being able to see auras and also being able to do anything you set your mind to, is to truly believe at the core of your being that it is possible. Without the belief that you can indeed see auras, you will be sabotaging yourself unconsciously from doing so. Read more of this post

Dawning upon a new chapter in my life after graduating college is frightening, but brings with it a tremendous opportunity for the future.
I’m working everyday at a job I hate, around a bunch of negative people who are currently not happy with their lives. I can now understand why the majority of adults these days are miserable. What I believe is the cause to the misery is not the terrible job they are working, or the negative people who bring them down for eight hours, it’s that fact that they think they do not have an alternative.

Doctors use to advertise for cigarette companies. How funny is that? Actually it’s not funny – it’s pretty sad. Did they really not know how bad cigarettes were for you back then?
It’s interesting to think, “what if something that doctors promote today as “healthy” are really not.”
Cigarettes kill you, but it’s your life.

Distracted driving causes thousands of accidents every year. Focus, attention, coordination, and split second decision-making are all necessary for safe driving. When distractions impair these skills, a driver is much more likely to be involved in an accident.
One of the most popular distractions while driving is texting. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has reported research that shows if you are driving your car at 55 mph and then take your eyes off the road for 4.6 seconds to read a text message, that is the equivalent of traveling an entire football field blindfolded.

I read a few years ago somewhere that a hallmark of a genius is being able to hold opposites together and transcend them. This stuck with me and over time I tried to make sense of it, because at first it was a very confusing concept. With some luck this concept began to make sense thanks to a random assortment of other things I read over the years following my discovery of this tidbit. Read more of this post
