Connect With Your Higher Mind
Living in touch with your higher mind gives you the ability to interact with your experiences through the genuine lens of optimism, joy, confidence, love, and contentment. The lower mind is often overwhelmed with fear and doubt, which can spawn mental, emotional, and physiological states of inner chaos. Over time, this can trigger neurochemical imbalances that prevent clear, illuminated, and grounded thinking (McEwen). To shift up, activate your higher brain centers, and facilitate so much beauty, healing, and internal harmony, here are a few great places to start:
- Find Joy in Something You Love to Do: Everybody has different passions, so engage with a creative activity that brings you back to a state of childlike curiosity and flow. Some ideas include starting a home project, learning a new skill that you’re super excited about, writing, playing with puppies, or making a delicious meal.
- Engage with Natural Light: Natural light illuminates the human mind and can therefore bring light to your thoughts and emotions. Next time the sun is out, find a comfortable spot to bask in direct sunlight for at least a few minutes (mindful of sun safety, of course), and see how your mental processes change for the better.
- Find Community with Luminous People: In life, we all get to choose what people, beliefs, and ideals we hold close to our heart. Find fellowship that inspires your mind and lifts you up, and try your best to avoid people that drain your vitality.
We hope this post inspired you to elevate your mind so that you can reach your full inherent potential!
