The 1st Key of In-Power-Mint...

Welcome back to those that have been following my postings.  I will be providing a series of how-to blogs with the purpose of bettering the planet with my small contribution.

Within each person, each and every moment of the day, we re-present ourselves to ourselves.  Some re-present themselves to themselves with thoughts of worry, doubt, despair and pain.  Some relive past glories and accomplishments over and over again.  And still, some long for wealth, glory, power or any of the other base primal urge desires.
However, "In-Power-Mint," as I've coined empowerment, is about using what we've already possess to take us back to our center.  Back to where all creativity for our life is stored.  And taping into that creativity again and moving from that source, to allowing your genius unconscious mind to guide you to what truly makes you content and happy!  What makes us happy and content is unique for each and every person.  In fact, we came here to this life to fulfill a special purpose!  When you were a child, you knew exactly what that purpose was in a very matter of fact way!  Ask any kid, and they'll tell you without blinking, what they're here for!

So, the big question is, how do we get back to that simple place?  And the simple answer is: we are creatures of light and breath!
We are very visual creatures even though we have four other senses.  Even those that have trouble seeing things in their Theater-of-the-Mind (TOTM), can get a feeling of light within.  And, we are also creatures of breath.  It's amazing that the very tools we need to use to return to our center and unlock our own treasures of what makes us content and happy, are part of our everyday lives!
By combining these two elements in different ways, completely changes what's being shown in the TOTM.
People talk about their totems, but this TOTM is something that is part of you.  You don't need to go anywhere except within to experience it.  And you are in total control of your TOTM and always will be!  And this is the very key to the solution of returning to your creative center, which is to take control of your TOTM and start showing thoughts that bring you back to a very creative place.
Because when you're back in your very creative space, you perform wonders!  Life becomes effortless because you are working from your center of power.
And this doesn't just affect you, it effects every person you meet.  You enter like a million watt lightbulb into a room.  Those people that are highly successful and happy, really don't have as much know how as knowledge of themselves.  They know, that they are destine to do something great as you've always felt you were to do as well!
But, we discount ourselves.  We show the "Just settle for what you can get!" movie in our TOTM over and over and over again.  We commit mental suicide of our dreams and aspirations.  The sad part is, we even glory in our self sabotaging behavior to elicit sympathy or empathy to whoever will listen as a substitute to success.

The 1st Key of In-Power-Mint:

Close your eyes after reading the how-to here and try this.  Find a time and place where you won't be disturbed.  As you sit there, bring your attention into this moment.  Bring your Was-ing, that person you were in the past into this moment.  Now bring your Will-be self from the future into this moment.  Now bring Worry-self, Always-self, Never-self and Gotta-self into this moment as well!  These are all bit players in your TOTM.  You're the director of the TOTM.  The owner of the TOTM.
Notice your breath, breathing in and breathing out.  As you breathe in, you draw in energy.  And as you breathe out, you release energy to the world.  If you combine thoughts from your favorite bit players into that in and out breath..., that's how the world sees and experiences you.
So, if your Worry-self has the stage and inner microphone, it puts worry thoughts into your breath stream of in and out.  If your Absolute-Rule-Maker-Gotta-self has the stage, you'll put your rules into the breath stream even if they don't make sense and eventually trap you in your own rules!
Imagine if you will, that you are drawing particles of dazzling light into your breath as you breathe in.  And you are are breathing out these dazzling light particles.  Just like the beginning of a snow storm where the flakes are slowly and gently falling, the dazzling light particles are gathering within you.  These particles contain such joy, such peace, such gentleness and kindness.  Just like in any snowfall, as you breathe, there soon is more and more and more dazzling particles gathering within you.  You begin to glow with the light of kindness and gentleness.  The dazzling light is filling you brighter and brighter and brighter!  Filling your entire body!  Each and every part of your body glows like a million suns from the dazzling light.  As you breathe out, this dazzling light pulses outward in all directions filling the room you're in.  Filling the house or building you're in.
Let this dazzling light glow in the purest of pure blinding brilliance of golden light.  Let it vibrate your body with a feeling of pure peace and completeness.  Let it vibrate you with the feeling of perfect and pure kindness and peaceful contentment.
Some of you might have intuitional flashes of other people faces while you're doing this practice.  Breathe in their dazzling light and then, breath out dazzling light right back to them.  As you do this, their dazzling light will increase into a brilliance of glorious golden light.

Open your eyes after a few deep breaths more of dazzling light and continue exchanging dazzling light with others as they come to mind.  It's your unconscious mind repairing and replacing negative connections to others as you continue breathing this way.  This is how we change the world.  One breath at a time.  One connection at a time.  One exchange of dazzling light at a time with each other.  Listen to your creative intuition now.  It will begin to guide you to where you're suppose to be to fulfill your purpose and achieve your success!

More keys will be given soon!

In-Power-Mint - The Key to yourself

Without the key to a lock, it's almost impossible for most of us to unlock that lock!  What if you locked yourself out of your house or your car.  You'd feel kinda stranded wouldn't you?  You'd have to go to the neighbor and ask to use their phone if you didn't have yours with you.
But, what if your neighbor lock themselves out and everyone in the neighborhood lock themselves out as well?  Some would be trying to break into their house!  Some would be frustrated and just crying that they lock themselves out.  And some would be trying to re-interpret that they're not really locked out, it's the house thats locked itself in or some such nonsense.
And that's how it is with us.  We've locked ourselves out of ourselves.  Some of us are frustrated.  Some are trying to break in.  And some are making up malarkey to convince ourselves that some narrative we've created doesn't require us to find our way back into ourselves.  And that's such a shame, when we're designed from birth to have access to our source of power, wealth, peace and plenty.  Which is at the very core of our being.  But somewhere along the way, we forgot such a simple thing as how to get back into ourselves in a powerful and empowering way.  I like to call it: "In-power-mint."  The mint of where we have our power, wealth, peace and plenty like our own private Fort Knox!  Our store house of infinite prosperity, infinite contentment.

When was the last time you really felt contentment?  Not just that you finally got something done.  But real contentment?  Real bliss without anything artificial to intoxicate you into that state?  No drugs or alcohol.
The ironic thing is.., that access to that in-power-mint moves within you 24-7/365.  In fact, it provides ingenious ways for you to return to yourself that are very natural.  It only requires only one simple and abundant ingredient!   That ingredient is awareness.  Once you start allowing your awareness to focus on the access point, then just like a finely made lock box, you open!  All of the inheritance that's been waiting inside you is available again.  And that awareness is always there.  Beyond form.  Beyond thought and dreams, that awareness is just there!  In this moment, just in this ever present now.  That awareness is available to you to open your lock and give you that splendor!

However, it's not enough to just have that splendor!  What are you going to do with it?  I mean, if you had all the wealth in the world, you could wind up like some of those we read about that just waste it!  There has to be a way to channel that splendor and that wealth to bring you happiness and not spin down into just wasted effort.
Your unconscious now understands better than your conscious mind what truly makes you happy.  It never turns off!  It runs every part of your body and mind.  It never sleeps.  It witnesses everything you do or don't do.  And you don't know, that you already know how to have splendor and pleasure.  The unconscious has been taking note of everything that really makes you feel complete!

You knew what you wanted to do when you were a kid!  It was very simple and clear.  Your unconscious had a plan from the beginning!  You came here with a special mission, a special purpose!  And that mission and that purpose are still inside, locked away just waiting to be activated by you!
Once, you open the lock with your awareness, then your intuition which is the channel of communication to your unconscious, will guide you to exactly what you're suppose to be doing here!  You'll feel like you're on automatic pilot.  The exact right people will be available for you to carry out your purpose in life.  The exact right resources will be available for you to complete yourself easily and effortlessly

The beginning is simple.  The path is already set.  All you have to do now is turn the key.  I'll be writing about the howto  keys to your Kingdom very soon.

Thank you for your time,

Adjust your autopilot to keep yourself from crashing

Homeostasis or comfort zone is defined as:

1. The tendency of a system, esp. the physiological system of higher animals, to maintain internal stability, owing to the coordinated response of its parts to any situation or stimulus tending to disturb its normal condition or function.

2. Psychology. A state of psychological equilibrium obtained when tension or a drive has been reduced or eliminated.

And the opposite Allostasis is defined as: The process of achieving stability, or homeostasis, through physiological or behavioral change.

A few years back I watched a documentary on Animal Abuse. One scene in particular struck me more than the rest of the show. There was a female Shepard tie to a post behind a building that had been reported to Animal Control and the Police. When the Police and Animal Control arrive, they saw a badly malnourished dog with patches of fur missing and cuts. Later the Vet determined that she had been kicked and beaten and that ribs were broken as well as teeth.

What struck was that even when the police questioned and arrested the owner, the dog clung to him for comfort. It was determined that he was responsible for the terrible cruelty. Even though this dog had been beaten and starved, she still preferred the monster she knew to the unknown future she faced.
I've known countless people that have similar situations in their lives and yet they stay with the monster that tortures them emotionally or physically. Sometimes both!

Dr. Milton Erickson - The Father of Medical Hypnotherapy once said that we unconsciously determine our future! This doesn't mean that we are predestined to a fate. But that, our future occurs in our subconscious first before it becomes apparent to our conscious mind.
Dr. Albert Ellis - The Father of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) derived what he calls an ABC Model. Or an Activator, Belief and Consequence Model. For ever stimulus/activator there is a belief tied to that stimulus/activator which causes a consequence. As we mostly bumble about, we have a Belief Model of experiences which are compose of those ABCs. The more experiences we have, the stronger the belief until ultimately, it becomes a zealous conviction. This doesn't mean that Belief Model is rational and healthy, it just means we've figured out how to survive sometimes terrible comfort zones.

By taking inventory on ourselves and asking ourselves, do we really want to be in such and such a situation. And then taking further inventory on what activators actually trigger those events. As well as what do we believe we should do or not do about those triggers. We can begin to shape the new consequences we'd like to achieve! We're re-wiring our reactions to a trigger.

Imagine your mind as a Theater. You can control the picture. You can make it clearer or fuzzy. Close up to you or far away. You can be in the movie or just observe the movie. You can change the sound, smell, taste, touch and your gut reaction to the movie at anytime!
Take a situation that you'll like to work past. Examine it frame by frame, process step by process step. Now just simply start playing with the perspectives. Change the angle of view. Make it bigger and smaller. Different colors. Really experiment with it.
Just by taking control of the movie, you've change your reaction to the movie! The more control you give yourself permission to change, the more empowered you become about that event. The more empowered, the more secure you feel. It's the simple changes that have the most profound effect! Metaphorically, we only have to nudge the asteroid to move it off course from hitting our world!

We don't have to just survive an unhealthy comfort zone. We were meant for better things! A better, happier and more healthy life!

Thank you for your time!
