Unlocking Your Authentic Self Through Mindfulness

To open up your life to your infinite self is to allow others the same opportunity. There is no greater joy than setting yourself free!

Over the course of our busy lives, in between family, work, and dinner parties, we have precious few moments to sit down with a hot cup of herbal tea or frothy coffee to reflect upon our lives. But, when we do, let’s be totally honest with ourselves — it can be brutal.

Our thoughts are pretty limited to the context of what society (and our relatives) have to say about us as judgments. Begin to observe your own thoughts and notice how many innovative thoughts you actually have each day, or if you are recycling the same ones over and over again.

But then something miraculous happens. On your way home from a lovely evening out, dusk’s rising luminescent moon captivates you and you experience a moment of ecstasy and utter peace. All is right with the world — and you weren’t thinking about a thing. You were just alive — and brilliantly so!

What does this tell us about our thoughts? Do thoughts propel us to our highest potential, contributing to our happiness? Or do they in some way keep us locked in a cycle of limitation?
