Misery attracts misery.
Sadness attracts sadness.
So, you want love, peace, happiness, wellness, and abundance?
What is your mindset? Is it conducive to attracting what you want?
To be free of anger, your mindset should emphasize freedom from anger.
To be free of fear, sadness, or lack, your mindset must focus on freedom from these limitations.
How to cultivate a mindset that is the polar opposite of what you’ve been consistently feeling, like anger, fear, sadness, or lack?
Artful affirmations and creative visualizations can help to some extent.
However, for most people, most of the time, these efforts are like putting lipstick on a pig.
The pig remains intact.
What is the pig?
The runaway mind, rolling and roiling in its misery.
So, how can you truly cultivate a mindset that is the polar opposite of what you’ve been consistently feeling?
There is a powerful way to alter your mindset.
Rest the runaway mind by withdrawing attention from it and placing attention in silence.
Silence is the seat of a power within you that is greater than the unsettled mind.
By cultivating silence, you experience your inner power, where peace, love, happiness, freedom, and abundance exist, ever present.
As the experience of silence becomes steadier, even if only in short bursts, the mind’s nature begins to change, little by little.
As calmness becomes your experience, clarity, wisdom, courage, strength, creativity, and compassion also emerge.
You make wiser decisions and take more powerful actions.
With this, the seeds of a more empowering mindset are planted.
Now, arrive in silence, and then apply those artful affirmations and creative visualizations.
Witness the magic of a transforming mindset unfold before you.
The mindset that kept you feeling stuck is no more.
Continued investment in a practice of silence meditation roots you in your inner power.
A deepening practice of silence opens the door to realizing that your true self, your real nature, is the source of this inner power.
It is the same source underlying all existence.
As you encounter life’s challenges, they can weaken your mindset, making you feel stressed, anxious, worried, angry, or down.
However, your mindset can either serve your healing and transformation or keep you captive in a weakened state, potentially worsening your condition.
Fortunately, there’s a great power within you, residing in silence.
When you practice silence meditation, you unleash that inner power into your life in the form of calmness, mindfulness, clarity, wisdom, courage, strength, creativity, and compassion.
This inner power helps you rise above challenges and transform into a better version of yourself.
Furthermore, in the calmness that arises from silence, when you place your artful intentions and perform creative visualizations, they become more effective.
Typically, affirmations and visualizations are done in a noisy, busy mind, causing their energies to become diffuse.
When applied in silence, their energies are potent and focused, making them much more effective.
In addition to unleashing your inner power, can you now see how silence meditation provides a powerful foundation for continuous self transformation?
It allows you to become a better and stronger form of yourself today than you were yesterday.
Are there alternatives to cultivating silence that help in the journey of continuous self transformation?
Yes, there is a potent alternative: cultivating an attitude of gratitude.
Feel gratitude for everything in your life.
When you practice gratitude, you naturally shift your mindset away from lack and dissatisfaction, and toward contentment and abundance.
Here’s the beauty, silence and gratitude complement each other.
When undertaken together, they accelerate your connection to your inner power and help you become the best form of yourself.
