Containment can be an extremely effective tool to assist you in diminishing your karma or reducing the aspects of causality in your life. To apply containment, pause for a minute to consider your different courses of action. Then contemplate the potential repercussions or implications of your ideas or actions. The judicious application of containment can result in a happier life with less karma.

We are often caught up in a cycle of thought and reactions, being stuck in the pre-programmed patterns of our passive intellect. Learn to conduct your mind, so that you can change your mental wavelengths to stay calm, balanced and in control. There is immense value in learning to conduct your mind in this manner, rather than your thoughts, feelings and emotions being the master of your life.

Despite the fact that a number of us practise meditation or mindfulness, frequently we do not seem to have the time. It can become easy to fall into patterns of unconsciously rushing through life without ever being in the present. Stopping briefly and observing a number of consecutive breaths can help you to relax and refocus your mind. Visit our webshop for a complimentary activity on Breath with Purpose.

In an increasingly connected world, we are all impacted by our presence on social media. It is easy to be affected by others through an increasingly complex web of interactions which occur instantaneously around the globe. What you post affect others, in the same way, that what you see impacts or influences you. Gradually, what is posted by you and about you develops an image as your online persona. This digital entity can grow to form its own sense of illusion in the seemingly virtual world. Always strive to be considerate and true to your own self as you engage with your digital personality.

Stop and take the time to understand the complexities of your mind, so that you might comprehend how to alter your way of thinking.

Your mental mind, with its patterns of passive intellect, can be your biggest challenge in life. How often have you strived for change, falling back into your old patterns of behaviour? Without grasping the complexities of your mind, you have unconsciously let the pre-programmed elements or passive intellect take control. Your best-laid plans having then fallen by the wayside, you now find yourself back at square one.

To take control of your life, you need to grasp an understanding of how your mind operates. This understanding then gives you the motivation to alter your way of thinking.

Thoughts and emotions of a damaging nature are dark in tone or colour. Whereas affirmative aspects, such as sincerity and kindness have a lightness of tone. The dark colour of any damaging, unconstructive or coarse element will exude into every cell of your body, causing overloads, congestion and blockages. Revaluate your thinking, so that you may climb above the darkness of damaging thoughts for your improved wellbeing.

Climb above the darkness of damaging thoughts for your wellbeing.

Make every effort to let go of any unfavourable feelings and emotions so that they do not become a controlling factor in your life. Letting go of your emotions will enable you to become their observer, rather than being caught up in the ensuing battle. You can then control the outcome and your reactions, so that you attain victory over your emotions.

As thoughts arise within your mind, they become energised, flowing out into the world in the words you speak or via your actions. When you think badly of others, then realise that your own thoughts can also injure you. So no matter what scenario you are in, or how aggrieved you are, you do not need to have the last word or symbolically win the argument. If you are upset, angry, or annoyed you may often find that your last words can often obliterate the wonderful intentions or the exceptional memories.
