Fortified Logical Mind – Shutter To a Beautiful World Beyond!

Logical thinking

Logical thinking is an important skill that can help us rationalise our thoughts and create positive outcomes. It is a combination of situational awareness and the ability to regulate your emotions productively so that they do not interfere in your decision-making processes. But logical thinking is the tip of an iceberg, which is the approach to life. Consider this example: We are crossing a river (life) in a boat (logical thinking). Once the river is crossed, we have to walk on the land. Thinking that the boat was such a useful means to cross the river, you tie it to your leg and start walking. What will be the result?

To embrace life in all its entirety and to enjoy it to the fullest, we need to realise the limitations of logical thinking and at some point in life, decide to take a leap.

Pendulum dowsing

Almost two decades back when I asked my friend to teach me pendulum dowsing, she just explained and showed it to me. I picked up the pendulum and it worked beautifully in my hand right from the first attempt. And so it was for many people whom I taught it. Then one day came a close friend who wanted to learn. I said that it was so easy and showed him. And I was shocked to see that the pendulum refused to make even a tiny movement in his hand. That is when I developed a step by step method to teach people like that.

Muscle testing

I uploaded a video on muscle testing and got a feedback, “It looked unbelievable, but I still thought there must be some noticeable change if I try it myself. But I didn't feel any change. What does it mean?”

Again, I learned muscle testing 15 years back and have done it on many of my clients, getting dependable results. This was the first time I heard it didn’t work. I replied, “I think your conscious mind is too controlling that it doesn't let your subconscious express.”

Then I thought of many more out there, whose conscious mind is too controlling, who have very strong logical minds, who think that whatever they have achieved in life is ONLY because of their logical thinking and problem solving ability. I feel sad that they are missing out a beautiful aspect of life.

Can they get a glimpse of the other side?

Strong logical thinking and the deep faith that this is the only thing that can help wade through life keeps fortifying that aspect of life and it creates an almost impenetrable shutter to give even a glimpse of the other magnificent aspect of life.

But if one is determined to go through that shutter, there is a way. It starts with getting in touch with one’s own body first. Sit for some time with closed eyes and start breathing longer and deeper. Watch the movement of the belly with each breath. Gradually increase that time to half hour. Then slowly you will start to feel that your body is communicating with you. Keep doing that longer and you will be able to have a glimpse of that world beyond.

How long is it going to take? Well, depending on how deep rooted is that aspect in you, it may take months to years. I know it, a very close friend who was totally logical, needed more than three decades to even sense the type of energy present in a place!

Free up your Emotional Disk Space

Emotions  like happiness, fear, anger, or hatred, can be caused by the situation that you are in or the people you are with.

While emotions start as sensations in the body, feelings are generated from our thoughts about those emotions. In other words, feelings are how we interpret emotions and let them sink in. We use the word, "feel," for both physical and emotional states.            

Basic emotons

A widely accepted theory of basic emotions and their expressions, developed Paul Ekman, suggests we have six basic emotions: sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. Love is usually accompanied by the most intense emotions, but love is not an emotion. Love is a set of emotions and behaviours characterized by intimacy, passion, and commitment. It involves care, closeness, protectiveness, attraction, affection, and trust. 

Expression of emotions

Emotion is a very adaptive form of physiological response, and it regulates our lives. It is expressed largely in the theatre of the body, through posture and facial expression , and through internal processes as heart rate and blood pressure. Each emotion is associated with a distinct facial expression.

Though each one of us would love to have positive emotions, if we check our inner status, it will be seen that majority of the times we are stuck in negative emotions.

Energy in motion

Peter McWilliams quote: Emotion is energy in motion. The Latin derivative for the word emotion, 'emotere', literally means energy in motion. The biological aspect of emotions involves an intricate interplay among hormones, neurotransmitters, and the nervous system. Like everything else in the universe, these biological constituents are composed of atoms that vibrate and generate energy.

Effects of positive and negative emotions

Positive emotions bring about a reduction in stress and a boost to general well-being. Positive emotions can actually act as a buffer between you and stressful events in your life, allowing you to cope more effectively and preserve your mental health.

On the other hand, negative attitudes and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness create chronic stress, upsetting the body's hormone balance, depleting the brain chemicals required for happiness, and damages the immune system. Chronic stress can actually decrease our lifespan.

Negative emotions drain our energy and prevent us from bringing out the best in us. Each cell in our body is a complete living organism by itself, with all the biological functions like digestion, respiration, excretion etc., Every cell in your body experiences the emotion as you, the large organism is experiencing.

Clearing up the stored up negative emtions

The ‘prana’ aspect in the air you breathe has the capacity to remove these stored up negative emotions and associated blocked up energy. This can be a great transformative experience!
