I would like to share with you all some things I have learned and exercises I practice , involving the mind.
I forewarn you that I will be taking you on a journey. So if your tired ,take a nap and come back when your rested.
Psychology is something that has always interested me.
I really get into the way we as humans behave.
The things we are capable of , Be it positive or negative really draw me in.
With that being said .......I have been a dumb ass most of my natural life.
The first half at least....:)
So, I have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out what the hell made me do the things I once did and still do some of the things I know I shouldn't.
The brain is truly fascinating if you approach it with respect.
SO , Lets get into this shall we?
I know a man by the name of Dr.Kembleton Wiggins.
He is the Father of my friends and my first music producers , Chris and Pete Wiggins.
When I was going to the studio at the time , I started talking with Dr.Wiggins.
He is a Psychologist , Pastor and Hypnotherapist......Yeah..Impressive.
He once told me that your subconcious mind controls your concious mind.
We are inevitably controlled by what is programmed into our subconcious.
I USED to have allergies real bad. I would try to record in the summer and I couldnt stop sneezing , My eyes itched horribly and my nose was either stopped up or running.
I would take Benadryl and that would end up making me sleepy to the point where I got lazy and didnt accomplish anything.
I got Claratin next and then these other alergy pills and I battled this nonsense for years.
Those with allergies KNOW ...... it sucks.
I sat down with Dr.Wiggins one day and he counted me down. (Hypnotized)
I hesitate to say full hypnosis because I was aware of what was happening.
BUT , You can relax your mind into a state and reprogram your thoughts with positive suggestions while concious and this is what the good Doctor did for me.
Dr.Wiggins put the suggestion into my subconcious mind that "I did not suffer from allergies any longer" and other positive words.
So in essence , he put a command into my subconcious.
Believe it or not , I was completely healed from allergies.
It took a lil time.
When people would ask me about my allergies (Even when I was sneezing or had watery eyes) I would tell them "I have no allergies , I have been healed! "
Eventually when my subconcious mind accepted this , it became reality.
Pretty wild huh?
Some of you reading this may think I am full of feces , But I assure you I am not.
Not this time dammit!
The mind is the most sophisticated yet simple tool we have the oppurtunity of using and if you doubt my words....Then I don't want you reading this....Go on now! Get outta here!
For those that are left , it's about to get a lil deeper , so keep swimming with me.
I also learned that I had a visual personality.
If I see something done , I can usually do it....Except dunk :(
You know how some people can play piano or guitar by ear?
Yeah...I'm not like that! Those people have more of an audio personality.
I have to see it...I have however been blessed with a very vivid imagination.
So I see things in my minds eye , already complete.
I Picture Music...I see it.
I remember faces...Not names
Some of you know what I am speaking on because your the same way.
You are also of a visual nature.
This will all make sense in a minute. :)
The next step on my journey came from a free download my wife discovered.
It was called "The Long Relax" by the silva ultramind program.
This 30 minute meditation changed my life.
They use what they call the 3 to 1 method to get you relaxed.
They also play a rhythm that matches your brainwaves when your in your most relaxed state.
You are still concious of everything around you , But you are completely relaxed and your mind is open and clear to whatever suggestions you put into it.
When you come fully out of it and open your eyes , you feel completely refreshed.
I used to work the grave shift as a stocker at my friendly neigborhood H.E.B
I would listen to this on my mp3 player in the car at lunch and that got me through alot of long nights.
I would do this everynight before I went to work and like I said , sometimes during lunch.
I learned the technique and I am now able to acheive total relaxation myself .
(No Masturbation jokes please :)
This technique taught me how to relax when I wanted to and how to use positive thoughts for actual results.
ALL my life I have been a night owl. I sleep in shifts....and you may ask yourself...WHY DONT YOU RELAX A-HOLE?
Because I'm working!
But it was always the same story for me. I had a song in my head combined with thoughts about a song , prayers , worries , etc....
My body would be tired but my mind was running a marathon.
This program taught me how to filter out all of the nonsense and FOCUS on whatever issue I was addressing.
PLEASE dont think I am trying to sell anything , I am not.
I'm just telling you how I got to where I am , Besides , the thing was free.
The subconcious mind can not distinguish a joke from reality.
It knows only what you believe and that is how it operates.
So I knew from my allergy expierience that belief and positivity could work.
And I learned from Silva how to Realax and put positive suggestions into my subconcious mind.
Now we enter another Phase.......
Like I said , I am Visual.
So when I would get into my relaxed state at night, I started visualizing how I wanted my mind to look.
Everyone of us has the ability to visualize....
So I started organizing my mind.
We are all inside our own head.
EVERYTHING we do and say comes from the commands within the brain.
We are what we are between the ears...That is our home.
So why not organize it and make it work more effeciently?
I started thinking of my brain as my computer. I know this isnt a new anaolgy , but it works for me.
Our subconcious is the hardrive.
It only knows what it has been programmed to do.
I picture the inside of my head like a circular steel bunker and I have this computer in the middle which represents my subconcious. When I relax and want to run or install a new program (Positive thoughts) I load it up and save the data.
My Computer works off voice command :)
I know all of this may sound insane.....But I'm not done , There is a method to the madness.
SO here is the lesson.
Our subconcious knows what is programmed into it.
So if you constantly say your a loser or have negative thoughts of fear , depression ,Anger , etc.....
THAT is who you are or your going to become.
The subconcious cant distinguish!
All your self doubt , anxiety , worries , negative thoughts , etc..... are all stored in your harddrive and run very effeciently.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK AND BELIEVE .
I know it sounds cheezy when you hear "If you beleive , you can acheive".
A large majority of our society makes fun of this.
BUT , It is the truth.
Think about it.
Our minds are capable of infinite possibilities and we let them go to waste everyday.
Think about what your mind is on or the toughts you have the majority of the time and look at your situation.
It takes balls to do that...To actually look in the mirror and confess with your lips who you really are.
BUT if you have the balls to do that and you have the desire to change your way of life.
I will proudly tell you , it is possible.
Learn to relax and replace your negative thoughts and habits with positive belief in your subconcious mind.
My routine is something like this.
I lie on my back and do the 3 to 1 method.
Take a deep breath through your nose and slowly exhale through the mouth.
while you are exhaling , visualize and repeat in your mind the number 3 , three times.
repeat the steps for 2 and 1.
(Once you get better at doing this , you can relax your entire body and mind in minutes)
Once I am completely relaxed I speak to my subconcious mind (Input the data into the harddrive)
"Subconcious mind , run a virus scan and delete all negative thoughts and emotions.
Permantly delete any and all thoughts or memories that you know I will never use.
Organize my knowledge to where I can pull it up quickly when needed and finally defragment yourself"
Then I enter in whatever positive thing I am seeking and believe on it.
(On a personal note , all this is surrounded by prayer)
You repeat to your subconcious what you want changed and start BELIEVING for the results.
Visualize yourself as who you know you really are.
Set your mind up however you wish , It's your place , decorate it.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK!
YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK!
YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK!
REMEMBER THAT!
After reading this , it is my prayer that you will consider what you allow to go in and come out of your mind.
Replace the negative with positive and become who you were meant to be.
I read a story about a jewish girl who was captured by the germans. Every morning she woke up and washed her face and combed her hair. They asked her why she would do that when she knew they were going to kill her..She said something to the effect of "They may kill me , but they wont kill my dignity or respect for myself".....
So even in the midst of death , she carried herself in a positive manner.
So where you live or your situation is absolutely no excuse not to control your mind in a positive way.
Is thinking negative helping you? If so , sell the secret and retire young.
Being positive or smart is somehow equal to being pussy or soft in this bass ackwards country.
Those people who think like that are Fools....
Dont be a fool.
God has given you an incredible machine that you can control and turn into whatever you want it to be.
I gained this knowledge and it has helped me in my life.
So I pass it unto you in the hopes it helps you in your life....
If it does , Pass it on to someone else.
I dont write this like I am perfect and have it all figured out...I'm not and I don't , BUT , I am learning everyday and this is some of the knowledge I have learned.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK.....
If you aren't who you would like to be or feel you were born to be....CHANGE YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS....
Remember.....An Idle mind is the devil's playground.
Peace and God Bless
