Neuroplasticity: Your Brain’s Amazing Ability to Form New Habits - The Unbounded Spirit

One of the most popular areas of research in psychology these days is neuroplasticity.  Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to restructure itself after training or practice.  In many ways, neuroplasticity is what makes personal growth and development possible at its most basic level.  With the understanding that change is indeed possible, you’re able to focus on the ways in which you’d like to grow instead of whether or not it’s achievable for you.  It’s possible, it’s proven, and now it’s up to you!

We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. ~Aristotle

Walk in the Forest to Heal Oneself - Fractal Enlightenment

will's picture

forest-bathingI have always been a nature lover, who appreciates spending time outdoors and soaking in the positive energy of the green surroundings. So I was simply thrilled when I came across a popular practice in Japan called ‘Shinrin-yoku’ which means ‘taking in the forest atmosphere’ also known as ‘forest bathing‘.

Spending time in nature is healing energy for the mind, body and soul. The idea with Shinrin-yoku, a term coined by the government in 1982 but inspired by ancient Shinto and Buddhist practices, is to let nature enter your body through all five senses, and feel at one with the forest. It is about being mindful of your surroundings and the experience.

It’s not about extreme outdoor sports or being alone in the wilderness, but about allowing your body and psyche to unwind in the peace of the woods, similar to natural aromatherapy. Ancient wisdom and tribes, who live in harmony with nature, have advocated this for long, and only in recent years there have been studies carried out to prove the health benefits of forest bathing.

What Does Emotional Resilience Mean to You? - Marquita Herald

Emotional resilience isn’t like an umbrella to be stored away for a rainy day. It serves to reduce stress, strengthen relationships and greatly enhance the quality of everyday life.

Emotional ResilienceHow would you define emotional resilience? If you were to run a quick search for the term online you’d likely find a couple of hundred thousand references, most having to do with the ability to bounce back from a crisis.

While this may serve as the ultimate reward for having the capacity to minimize the effects of adversity, resilience isn’t like an umbrella to be held in reserve for a rainy day. It can serve to reduce stress, improve relationships and greatly enhance the quality of everyday life.

Gratitude is a prayer for goodness to abound - Positive Thoughts

will's picture

When you express gratitude, you raise the vibrations around you to a higher frequency. You create positive energy that emanates out from you and returns to you as wonderful experiences. You become magnetic. Good things and good people gravitate toward you because you’re such a joy and delight to be around.

An attitude of gratitude is naturally attractive. It has the power to turn challenges into possibilities, problems into solutions, and losses into gains. It shifts the energy. It expands our vision and allows us to see what might normally be invisible to someone with a limiting attitude.

Gratitude is a prayer for goodness to abound. I think the words “ thank you” are two of the most beautiful words in the language. They can light up someone’s face and help the other person know that he or she is appreciated. It opens the doors to our hearts and allows us to feel connected.

Let’s spend as many moments as we can every day being grateful for all the good that’s in our lives.

Ode to Oneness - Heavenletters

God said:

It is like you, human being that you are, have come into My Life, a welcomed visitor. I am a genial host. I invite you to sit down with Me. I offer you the splendors of the Universe as you might offer a guest tea. This is hospitality, beloveds. This is hospitality at its best. You are welcomed into the threshold of My heart and into the center of My heart.
 
Plump yourself down, and notice where you are. It is not possible for you to leave the Palace of My Heart, and why, why would you ever want to?
 
It is a good thing to know where you are, and where you are is in My heart. You are tucked in nicely here. You warm My heart, and I warm yours. Here, We hold hands, and, here, We roam the valleys and the mountains and the fields and the forests. It is here in My heart where you meet people. Just think, you are as good as the host or hostess of My heart, and you welcome all.
 
Everyone wants a welcome, and you are a welcomer. Welcome all to Earth. Move over a little, and make room to seat everyone. My heart expands to receive everyone, and you are learning to welcome all. It is easy to understand why you are on Earth. It is such a little thing I ask you to do – to make room for everyone in your heart. This is how you usher everyone into My heart.

True Seeing - Knowing Whispers

will's picture

We can only see clearly when we have “become”. Till then, we are only a mind searching for its truth.

Our awareness is trapped in thought, idea, and emotion. We are aware of those things outside us that make up the world and our place within it. We see through the eyes of the ideas of others.
 
Our inner eyes of awareness are revealed as we become the knower in consciousness. Our awareness is not split, or only attached to the outer world. We have discovered our inner being and the knower of truth -- the revealer of all that is.

Gods and deities are a creation of man’s imagination. Only the inner knower can reveal what is real and true within for each individual. Only we alone can end the search. Otherwise, the journey will go on and on and on in our mind and imagination.

Daily Message ~ Wednesday April 2, 2014 - Trinity Esoterics

will's picture

As you continue on through your enlightenment process, you become aware that BEing is the way of the soul, while doing is the way of the lower self. You understand that the creations that are the best energetic matches to you come from alignment, rather than effort. So along this line, we wish to ask you, are you creating a living or earning a living?

Creating comes from that place of BEingness and alignment, from your authentic power, your intention, your passions and your purpose. Earning, for many of you, comes with the connotation of hard work for limited reward, of proving your worth, time and again, and if you “put your nose to the grindstone”, regardless of whether you like it or not, you will be compensated. One works from the energies of complete acceptance and abundance, the other from the energies of having to prove yourself through continued judgement and fighting for your share of a limited pile. Can you feel the energetic difference?

When you are creating from your highest alignment, worthiness is never an issue. You are joyfully co-creating with the universe from a place of ultimate abundance. When you are still stuck in the cycle of trying to prove your worth, you are trying to thrive in the illusion of a limited universe.

So, Dear Ones, simply align first, and then create from that place of empowered BEingness! Step into the stream of highest alignment and unlimited abundance and live from there. It is simply a matter of claiming those divine energies that are your birthright and understanding that joy, grace, ease, unconditional love and unlimited support are there for you, whenever you choose. ~Archangel Gabriel

Truth Is Disturbing to Those Living a Lie

will's picture

Would you rather have a reassuring lie or a disturbing truth?

The mind likes to believe it has life figured out, it desires complacency and conformity. It automatically accepts things that support it's illusions. These make the mind feel like it's in control, it feels powerful, it feels right. It can keep building up illusions, and surround itself with people who support them.

The mind wants things predictable, and when something comes along and disturbs this, the mind becomes afraid. The mind doesn't usually like change, these threaten its beliefs and its false sense of peace. People react with rejection, projection, "fight or flight", all of the various defense mechanisms to protect what the mind believes.

People's beliefs ought to be disturbed, to be shaken up, to be challenged and questioned. People need to have fires lit underneath their butts, not to go read some generic spiritual message that tells them what a good job they're doing. That's what the mind wants to hear, how great it is. The mind's baby, the ego, gets a nice boost. These kind of spiritual messages don't really encourage radical transformation, I feel they're more a form of entertainment that anything else.

Let Go of Fear to Embrace Love - Not Just A Blonde

will's picture

You gotta let go of Fear to embrace Love. If you are not feeling the love… start looking at your fears and ask God to help you overcome them. Fear is something each of us experiences. It can be a valuable teacher that show us where we need to grow, where we need to let go or where we need to go!

Fear should not control us! Fear is only a messenger that lets us know we are not on the path God has intended for us. We should not try to avoid this feeling, but take notice of it and use it to help steer our path towards Love.

God has a plan for us. We aren’t meant to live a life ruled by fear, but a life filled with LOVE!

Can You Control Your Destiny? - Aligned Holistics

will's picture

Do you ever wonder whether you can control your life or if you're simply reacting to the things that happen to you? Do you ever wish you could play an active role in creating a life you love?

Recently, a client commented on his party-boy lifestyle, stating, “I guess it took me 10 years to change.”

WRONG.

It did not take him 10 years to do anything. It only took him one moment to DECIDE to take action. It took him all those years to get to the point that he was willing to make a change. Let me explain:

It’s not the conditions that shape your destiny, it’s the decisions.
— Anthony Robbins

Every decision, big and small, shapes your life: what you decide to eat, where you decide to go, whom you decide to date. Most of us wait until we’re “ready” to make a change. So we wait until our current situation is bad enough that we're willing to try something new.

Just a reminder, Dear Ones, that the flow will have periods of tangible, accelerated movement, and also periods that feel like lulls, where much of the movement is taking place in the form of alignment before becoming part of your physical awareness. There is always, always movement, but there may be periods when much of that movement is taking place behind the scenes. How do you know if you are in a lull or blocked in some way? By staying in a state of surrender. Your intention to surrender and move with the energies will make sure you are ready and available for tangible movement, as it is supported by the universe. It is that simple. ~Archangel Gabriel

ImageYOU……have never been ordinary. As your travel through your Earth plane, please remember that you are here to gives your gifts to the world. Most of the people you meet every day may be stuck in the chaotic version of their existence just to feel something, to feel alive

As a human of considerable power, it is up to you to show them that being at peace amid the chaos is something that can be accomplished. Lead by example. Shaking the sleeper awake will cause resistance. Instead, sing their soul awake with the song of The Universe. ~ Creator

Simply Being - The difference between non-action and inaction

will's picture

This is an extremely old bit of wisdom, but even today it's rare that someone really understands it. People are so caught up in doing things, all day long they just jump from one thing to the next without a moment in between. Even when they're finished with everything they believe they "have to do" for the day, they immediately jump to some form of entertainment, like a book or the television. Every night when they lay down for bed, when they have this blessed opportunity to relax and simply Be, they instead think about the past and the future, and all their worries. More doing, doing, doing, and when the alarm wakes them up in the morning they jump out of bed and resume the same patterns.

This above example is someone who is so caught up in what they're doing that they never have a moment to simply Be. There's billions of them on this planet, beings who are cut off from their own Being. Can you drop everything you're doing right now? Can you let it all go? Please, stop reading right now, take a moment to just Be without any expectation for the future or attachment to the past.
