Unlocking Your Superconscious Mind
Unlocking Your Superconscious Mind
The superconscious mind is a vast, but very underused resource. Its value, lying dormant
for most of us, is much broader that what you cognize through the ordinary five senses and
comprehend through rational, deductive reasoning. While hugely beneficial for you, it is
unfortunately, little understood or acknowledged by mainstream professionals or lay people.
Many times the superconscious spontaneously feeds helpful information to your conscious
mind via dreams, intuition, inspirations, creative ideas (lightbulb moments), even visions.
Sometimes they reveal themselves to our conscious awareness in bits; occasionally in
complete works. The famous composer, Wolfgang Mozart, was known for being able to write
complete, finished scores, in one draft.
The music vision connection from his
superconscious mind was wide open, giving him his fabulous gift.
Any genius, typically has part of his/her connection with their superconscious mind well
activated. Leonardo Da Vinci is another great example.
You dont need to wait and hope for aha moments. By purposely connecting with, and
actively using your superconscious mind capabilities, you tremendously enhance your ability
to:
Know things more quickly [non linear, non rational, intuitive knowing]
Live in a fuller state of being
Better align with you life purpose
These abilities are known to be valid as they are based on reports/experiences of the lives
of persons in many cultures over many years who have been partially or fully awakened,
fulfilled, enlightened, illuminated, self-actualized, or self-realized. By whatever practice[s] or
circumstances, they accessed and utilized their greater mind possibilities. They mastered
their reality/lives. You can too ! Stop struggling. Start using your dormant assets - it is your
birthright.
The Wind in Your Sails. When connected and actively used, your superconscious mind
(and with blocks in the subconscious mind pretty well cleared), your daily experience can be
likened to having the wind in your sails, or all cylinders firing. In other words - smooth,
easy, more fulfilling actions, results, and feelings.
In this vein, some in-depth topics in this website for connecting with and using your
superconscious abilities include:
1] Present Time Awareness: processing of data from your senses, assessment of the data
[producing thoughts, emotions, desires], decisions, plans, and actions based on the current
data, previous experiences (recalled memories) and potential benefit, and then conclusions
(review) from the results of the your decisions made and actions taken;
2] Access Point to/from both the subconscious and superconscious realms of your mind
Your conscious mind is only a quite small part of your total mind. Compare it to the trunk of
the mind tree - useful, but limited when compared to the totality of the human mind.
It does provides an excellent starting point to effect positive change in your everyday
living, well-being, and accomplishments. For example, you would use your conscious mind
to access your subconscious mind memories [see that section in this website], AND to
connect with and use the resources of your superconscious mind [see that section in this
website].
However, some positive changes can indeed be created using primarily conscious mind
actions. A few conscious creating topics covered in this section are:
Creating a calm and centered state (reduce anxiety and fear) quickly.
Seven Quick Ways to Create Being Calm Now <click: content >
Welcome to your subconscious mind. It has two main functions - 1] automatic body
operations and maintenance via the autonomic nervous system, and 2] storage of all
perceptions, experiences, impressions [memories] from the moment we are born [maybe
even from conceptions]. "All" memories include those which we decided were 'supportive' positive or beneficial, as well as those we determined were "limiting" - negative restrictive,
or a hinderance. They all got filed away. Together they determine our world view [belief
systems] as well as one's ability / skill to achieve and enjoy.
Problem is, you likely forgot what and why we formed our belief systems which probably
started in childhood. When a belief was formed early on, you likely did NOT distinguish
between the 'reality' of what you experienced, and the meaning you assigned to it. But all
meaning exists only in your mind. Hence, we act successfully or unsuccessfully based these
buried experiences and conclusions. If, for example, you determined as an early core
meaning such beliefs as: I'm not good enough, I'll never get what I want, life is hard, I don't
feel safe, others can't be trusted, etc., the results of our/your adults efforts will reinforce
those beliefs - for better or worse - and influence our decisions on future actions. It is called
the Action - Impression - Desire cycle. [see more here]
Experiences - and the conclusions about them - build upon another over many years,
creating 'clusters of memories' [thought forms], as well as clusters of neural connections in
your brain. <illus> Thus, core patterns become very strong and determine our habits. You
and I are creatures of habit, habits that we think are the 'truth'.
The challenge of changing your patterns of limitation can be seen in a tree analogy.
Subconscious formative or 'root' impressions can be compared to the root structure of a tree.
The tree's root system is immense, with numerous extensions - much more than the trunk of
the tree. Likewise, the vast collection of old memories in your subconscious mind vastly
outweighs your conscious efforts of thought and will power to make major changes. The
"mind tree", shown here, illustrates this comparison.
------->
The primary reason why change and growth using such tools as "thinking positive", writing
affirmations, exercising will power, etc. remains challenging lies in the contrast. Conscious
efforts alone only uses the 'strength' of the trunk vs. the strength of the deeply imbedded
patterns of the subconscious 'root system' -- analogous to 10 lbs for force vs. 90 lbs of force.
Indeed, the conscious mind uses only about 10% of our ultimate mental potential.
Additionally, we have yet to consider and make up of the upper branches segment of the
tree [see 'superconscious' section of this site]. Hence, the strength of beliefs and tendencies
lying in the subconscious mind will win the 'contest' over conscious mind efforting most
every time. .
Although clearing root patterns may require considerable work, it is critical to do so. Living
your life more effectively and smoothly demands that you root out those ideas and beliefs
and patterns that dont help you now.
How far ahead are you going to get in reaching your goals, your enjoyment of life with all
those limiting subconscious root patterns holding you back? Not very far! Yes, you can
change your patterns via consciousl effort to create new thoughts and beliefs, but whoa,
that is a herculean task given the subconscious/conscious contest. Without clearing your
deeper, subconscious thought patterns (and balancing the nervous system), your mental
attitude will tend to default to your formative beliefs and views. Thus, you face an uphill
battle in overcoming struggle, frustration, sadness, hesitation, fear, etc.
Clearing Methods
Listed below are overviews of a few (of many) methods (called interventions) that have
been developed and tested for clearing the influence self-sabotaging programs thoughts/beliefs/feelings - from your subconscious mind (memories cant be erased, but our
conclusions or influence of them can be neutralized).
These approaches are briefly
explained in this site along with contact information to learn more about them, learn how to
use it yourself, or find a practitioner who can use them to assist you.
Lightly Inhibiting Patterns: The methods described in this section are suited for people
who are generally functional, fairly balanced, and can pretty successfully manage to interact
with others and in society...but realize they have behaviors or attitudes that holds them back
from being successful in their personal and occupational interactions and from a fuller
enjoyment of life.
"Deeply" Inhibiting Patterns - Professional Assistance: For those of you who have more
debilitating patterns or behaviors such as: addictions, depression, severe anxiety, violent
behaviors, mood swings, trauma impacts, etc., you need to first work with a professional
therapist. He or she can work with you in depth and get you started on a path which will
enable you to live and function at more normal capacities.
Once your become more
stabilized and functional, you can then clear lighter patterns using one or more of the
methods used here.
Clearing Approaches:
Some methods for clearing work successfully when those causing thoughts/beliefs can be
consciously identified. Other methods work better for issues where the causing source[s]
are hard to identify [most cases].
a] You can remember a near fatal accident your father had when you were much younger.
Your mother panicked. The incident was a bit traumatic for you. Now as an adult, you think
you got over it. However, you have an attitude that the world is not safe, making you
hesitant and overly cautious in all kinds of decisions and choices.
b] Your romantic relationships are short lived. The partners suddenly leave you after about a
year. You are perplexed as to why this pattern keeps repeating and cannot figure out why;
failing to realize that it is some belief construct deep in your subconscious mind that is the
root of it.
Method One:
Hypnosis / Self Hypnosis. In the hypnotic state, the analytical, reasoning part of the
conscious mind is set aside and access to the subconscious experiences becomes much
more easily available. The person in hypnosis is deeply relaxed, yet awake. It is NOT a
state where you dont know whats happening. A well trained hypnotist /hypno-therapist
can then guide you to safely recall old memories/impressions in which early conclusions
about reality were formed. Once identified, the hypnotist can clear the memorys impact.
Memory files cannot be erased from our minds, but the influence of them can be rectified.
after 22 sessions.
private practice.
Indeed, I used this tool extensively with much success when I had a
You can learn do hypnotize yourself if you have the time and drive to do so. Going into the
receptive mental state [sometimes called the alpha state], and doing correct recall
procedures will help you to remember instances in your past that are the source of your
current blocks /faulty conclusions. ...
However, if the block is originally due to abusive or traumatic incidents, recalling that
incident[s] can be delicate. Better to have a trained facilitator to help guide you through the
issue. You can search for certified hypnotists/hynotherapists in your area via your phone
book, an internet search, or through mutual friends.
Method Two:
Journey of Profound Healing. A very powerful subconscious clearing process I know about and personally have participated in (2010) - is called Journey of Profound Healing (JOPH).
JOPH involves an intensive, small group, 4 day in-residence process which is personally led
by an enlightened Being whose name is Sai Maa. The course is designed to identify and
uproot the deepest source of the participants pain, suffering, addiction, or restriction in
ones subconscious whether they are conscious of it or unconscious of it. This is partly so
because Sai Maa, living in an expanded consciousness and being able to see subtle
energies, can readily perceive old patterns in the participants mind and work energetically
with them on that level. From their website: This unprecedented depth of healing at its
root provides access to directly experience life in a way never before possible.
This is especially helpful for people who dont know what their deepest negative core
pattern is. Such was the situation in my case. She helped me identify an emotional pattern
(insecurity) related to my fathers health when I was six years old that I was completely
unaware of. When I released the stuck energy of that early emotion, my consciousness was
expanded for several days and I began to release the deep rooted insecurity that I had been
holding for decades.
I can personally attest that the course is worth the investment. More information and
registration details can be found at their website: www [Link]/en/profound-healing
Method Three:
The Lefkoe Method (TLM) was developed by and is used by therapist Morty (and Shelly)
Lefkoe.
{from their website}: (They) usually can identify the roots of your problems in the first
session and then we immediately get to work eliminating these "roots." It is an explicit,
reproducible technique that allows people to identify the beliefs responsible for
dysfunctional behavioral or emotional patterns, and then eliminate those beliefs. When all
the beliefs responsible for any given pattern have been eliminated, the pattern disappears.
As Mr. Lefkoe states: By returning to the experiences that led to a given belief (what we
observed or heard) and realizing that the belief is only one possible interpretation of the
experiences, in other words, "a truth" rather than "the truth", the belief will disappear.... In
The Lefkoe Method {your} current belief is not given up because.... one does not get "talked
out" of the existing belief. The Lefkoe Method actually validates people for forming the
belief earlier in life by assisting them to realize that most people probably would have made
a similar decision....
Moreover, the "evidence" that you offer for a belief usually is not the real reason you
believe it. The evidence offered usually consists of recent observations that appear to
substantiate the belief. The real source of your beliefs, however, is interpretations of
circumstances earlier in life. Fundamental beliefs about yourself and life usually are formed
before the age of six. After a belief has been formed, however, you act consistently with
it...In other words, life becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because the evidence you present
to validate your beliefs usually is a consequence of the beliefs, not their source, challenging
the validity of that evidence is not the most effective way to eliminate it..... because the
current belief is totally eliminated when you do The Lefkoe Method, you have no need to try
to act differently when you go back "into life." Your behavior changes naturally and
effortlessly once the belief is gone.
Using the Lefkoe method most always requires the guidance of a skilled person. Mr. Lefkoe
has trained many people to be facilitators of his method. You can find out more and locate
a facilitator that may be in your area via: www [Link]
Method Four:
EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique / TFT - Thought Field Therapy [meridian tapping].
EFT/TFT involves tapping key points - called meridian circuit points - on the body while
verbalizing certain phrases for release. Many years ago, the Chinese discovered a complex
system of energy circuits that run throughout the body. These energy circuits, or meridians
as they are called, are the centerpiece of many Eastern health practices. That concept has
been applied to this method. (authors note: since the mind is not limited to the brain,
belief patterns can be embedded in the bodys energy networks and cellular structures.
Hence, I see no inherent conflict in this method compared to other more mental
approaches).
In the 1990s, psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan developed Thought Field Therapy [TFT] -the
tapping method - to release deep seated blocks in his patients. Since then, other
practitioners of human health, most notably Gary Craig, have refined the method. They call
the more simplified version EFT- Emotional Freedom Technique.
Here is the key concept to the EFT method: The source of all negative emotions is a
disruption (or imbalance) in the bodys energy system. By using your fingers and tapping,
in a systematic way, on key meridian junction points in your body, you can balance your
bodys energy system and thus release the negative emotion(s). Although it usually requires
more than one tapping session, most fears, etc. can soon dissipate. When the negative
emotions no longer keeps arising in your conscious awareness, its impact has been
neutralized or at least marginalized, even though you did not learn what the causal, core,
influencing experience was in your early life. This was one of the key tools I used when I had
a private practice.
It is pretty easy to learn and practice, comparatively painless, yet when done correctly,
has proven effective. Plenty of instructional videos of EFT can be viewed on the internet via
YouTube. The primary website regarding this method is: www emofree com. If someone in
your area offers a training class in this method, I highly recommend taking it.
Once you learn the EFT method and understand how to use on yourself for a variety of
needs, then you have a tool you can continue to use most anytime, anywhere.
Method Five:
Deep Meditation - The deep relaxation process through certain meditation methods allow
a natural dissolving of embedded past impressions [stresses on the nervous system]. It is
analogous to sitting in a bathtub and letting the warm, soapy water slowly dissolve a layer of
dirt off the skin, one bath at a time.
Although meditation use over the long term is
necessary to dissolve the deeper blocks, short term benefits of greater relaxation,
10
centeredness, and personal insights are experienced more immediately. Given the multiple
benefits that a regular meditative practice offers, I recommend incorporating it as part of
your daily routine.
Many kinds of meditation exist and all have their special value. However, for purposes
of release of core issues, the processes that provide deep settling to the nervous system and
a deep quieting to the mind via a gently used a sound/word/mantra format, such as
Transcendental Meditation [TM] or Deepak Chopras Primodial Sound meditation [PSM], or G.
Quant's Integrated Quantum Meditation [IQM] provide a valuable broad brush/sweep
approach to gradually releasing subconscious blocks.
Contemplation, concentration, self
observation [mindfulness], rhythmic breathing, energy moving, visualization, and guided
types of meditation, though they have their own usefulness, are less effective for this
purpose.
Contact info for the two types of meditation recommended are www [Link];
www [Link]/psm; and www [Link]
Method Six:
Violet Flame Invoking (energetic cleanse) The comprehensive violet flame (V.F.)
method uses a cleansing / purifying / clearing energy which can be used both for
identifiable causes of blocks as well as hidden causes of various blocks. In this method, the
person calls in (invokes) to themselves a high vibrational energy called The Violet Flame (or
Fire), and then directs it to implement the clearing and accelerate desire one wishes to
achieve. Called the violet flame because it vibrates at a frequency that appears, to those
who can see auras, as the color violet. The violet flame technique is best suitable for
individuals who understand and are receptive to the concept, existence, and efficacy of
subtle energies. Its action is reported to increase the vibratory rate of electrons in the
bodys cellular [and etheric] levels such that discordant conditions at that level can no
longer continue to exist.
At least three features come with the violet flame use - its breath of use, its depth of
effectiveness, and its personal availability. With its breath, it can be used to burn away or
consume blocks (discordant, imbalanced conditions) in any aspect of human endeavor financial, behavioral, relations, negative emotions, and more. With its depth, it can be used
to clear the deepest, core, and even causal source (karmic seed) of ones limitations. With
its availability, you can call it in and use by yourself anywhere, anytime. Parents can clear
limitations on their young children or even their ill pets by using the V.F. Its breath, depth,
and availability makes this method comprehensively useful and hence, VERY powerful.
One general purpose invocation and declaration you may wish to try is: I call forth the
Violet Flame to me -- to activate it for my protection and to transmute any limitation within
my human mind. Like any other method, V.F. invokng requires repeated use until results
are observed.

understanding and history, as well as many specific invocations for numerous situations, is
available in pdf format for purchase via this website. A valuable addition to anyones
personal wellness library. {available soon}
Method Seven:
Recall (Self Identify) and Reformulate. [T.H. Ekar] If you are already consciously aware of
long-ago incident(s) that caused the formative beliefs/ outlook/ limiting patterns, then you
are ready to take the next step. If not aware, sometimes [often] they can be recalled by
going into a quiet, relaxed state (see hypnosis and meditation methods below as options)
with the goal to request your subconscious mind to bring conscious that/those incidents
and conclusions. If not initially able to recall them, look at your everyday habits, patterns,
etc. that are not working for you. Thats your starting point to begin to begin the recall
process. Once you can remember both 1) what the incident (an event, an adult teaching, or
observation of adults behavior) and 2) the conclusion about life you made as a result of it,
then you likely have found a core or semi-core nugget.
I call the next step the reformulation attitude. Create a declarative statement, a strongly
worded decree, that constitutes the opposite belief or attitude of the limiting one. For
example: perhaps you have a repeated pattern of losing money in stock market
investments. With the recall process, you discover that you have a subconscious belief about
that from your father because he lost a lot of money that way and warned you that it was a
losing proposition.
Your contravening (positive), reformulation decree might be: I now have the savvy and
skills to make good profits in the financial markets.
When you keep verbalizing and start really believing the positive declaration, that
concept will eventually generate more power and strength then the older one. Although the
older, limiting belief is not neutralized with this method, it can become marginalized;
overpowered by the newer attitude.
Method Eight:
12
Recall and Release via Conscious Breathing- Some people have had success in reducing
the influence/impact of core beliefs - when they have been able to recall the early, core
incidents - by using a continual breathing process until the energy of that negative emotion
or belief becomes at least marginalized. Continual breathing session may last 20 minutes
or longer. You could easily require multiple sessions. However, once you learn how to
perform it properly, the process becomes easy to do. More information about this method
can be found at the following websites:

Conclusion: The methods explained above are a few of numerous possible techniques to
clear old subconscious patterns that do not benefit you. For mildly limiting patterns, they
constitute ones I find useful and practical. The most important principle to grasp is that
until your early, limiting attitudes and beliefs are neutralized or at least marginalized, they
will hold you back from enjoying your experiences in the many facets of your daily living.
Clearing out the "old stuff" is a foundational step in your journey of personal well-being.
Principles
Easily attracting to you the goals and dreams to savor your life enjoyably. How would you
like to have that ability?
It is definitely rewarding. The Law of Attraction, also called the
Manifestation Principle, now well known by many people, has as its foundational concept
that: whatever you keep putting your dominate attention on grows in strength and
eventually becomes manifest in your reality. Another way to to express the concept is: like
attracts like. Perhaps you have already tried it, but with limited results.
Perhaps you are aware that this principle, however, works in both directions: For example,
focus deeply enough on being financially comfortable and eventually you will find
ways/means to experience it.
On the other hand, if you constantly worry and hold fear about some possible negative
outcome, such as a car accident, sooner or later you will have such an accident. Your
dominant thoughts eventually become a self fulfilling prophecy.
13
The thoughts and feelings you continue to hold in your mind and heart constantly put out
an energy called thought forms that attract similar energies to it. When enough of these
corresponding energies accumulate, they then decode into visible reality - your
experiences. The deeper thoughts/emotions become real things.
The Law of Attraction concept was a central theme that Napoleon Hill learned from wealthy
individuals and described in his seminal book: Think and Grow Rich. The many successful
men he interviewed told him that they used this principle as a core concept behind their
success.
You can this attention concept in the world of science - specifically, quantum physics. When
observing matter from the quantum state, matter sometimes appears as a wave form,
sometimes as a particle. In other words, what you put your attention on at this level, is what
manifests that reality.
Wave/particle duality is the concept that all matter exhibits both wave and particle
properties... This .. waveparticle duality [states] that a phenomenon can be viewed in one
way or in another, [a wave or a particle] but not both simultaneously. Is it a wave? Is it a
particle? It depends on what the observer wants to see."
[from Yahoo Answers]
Experiments that powerfully and visibly showing the impact of human thought/emotion on
the crystalline formations in water are shown in the book: The Hidden Messages in Water by
Masuru Emoto. Mr. Emoto produced excellent, observable photo evidence on how thought
energy creates an impact on physical reality (water crystals in his case). If you have doubts
about the impact of thought energy on physical reality, I recommend you read this book.
Available at bookstores and at some libraries.
14
A pattern that I have observed when many people attempt using the Law of A principle is
that their efforts to create something better are many times only half baked. They may put
in some attempts in the beginning, but then become lazy with any continuing effort. Too
many times they settle for what amounts little more than wishful dreaming. They might
create treasure maps, post affirmations on a mirror, repeat positive statements from time
to time, and may even take a few steps toward achieving the goal. But when their dreams
fail to materialize after a short while, doubts creep in, and they give up.
I have seen too many teachers of personal growth give out the idea that just some bit of
effort on your part, you will produce results you desire in fairly short order, as if it was some
kind of magic. While positive intention and actions ARE part of the recipe, I have found
that they tend to be superficial and limited with most people - especially when competing
with deeply buried negative beliefs, as well as whatever doubts, anxieties about the issue
one may have.
Indeed, they probably dont factor in the work required to clear out subconscious blocks which is likely the primary factor of why they are experiencing the limitation to start with.
Additionally, they have little or no concept of using the power of their superconscious mind
to facilitate and speed up the desired result[s]. Even more, many of them give up too soon.
To produce better, solid, and quicker results in attracting the reality you desire, I have
delineated 7 keys, working on multiple levels, that will greatly help you attract what you
deeply desire, sooner, with less struggle.
15
Increase commitment level - how strong, how deep and sincere is your desire to attract and
manifest that goal? It wont happen if your dream lacks commitment, dedication. It should
be at least a level on of an 8 out of 10 scale.
Clear subconscious blocks - around the situation you wish to create. Your lack of
manifestation success most likely has some deep subconscious blocks - possibly unaware
fears, shame, guilt, beliefs around the success that you are consciously desiring. Review
and use tools in subconscious mind section of this website to help you.
Dwell of the goal with positive feeling -- add emotion, esp. of the heart, to your mental
images. The mind and heart together make a powerful combination. Also verbalize the
result you desire. Vocalizing helps the manifestation. State the goal in present tense [time].
(Dwell on the subject/- e when in relaxed states of mind [alpha/delta b.w.].
Use superconscious enhancement - Use more of your greater, untapped mind for faster
results. Use the techniques described in the Superconscious mind section - such as the
etheric grid of manifestation or the violet flame technique. This key, along with subconscious
clearing, sets this enhanced approach far above others.
Follow through with action - pursue opportunities, even small ones, that come up. This will
support the bigger goal in your mind and heart, making it stronger. It also gives you
experience in achieving your next level. Sometimes you have to make it happen, sometimes
they just show up synchronistically.
Reinforce positive experiences/results - acknowledge the successful steps with concrete
measures, such as any kind of celebration and of expressing gratitude. This impresses the
result more deeply in your memory files.
Maintain persistence - How persistent and patient will you be to see your desire come to
fruition? Use the 7 keys consistently. Lack of results could be a timing matter -- maybe the
energetic potential needs just a little more of your building it, then shows up. In the
meantime, keep nurturing yourself, keep positive, and enjoy the ride (process).
Creating A Fuller Heart
Introduction
How much would you like to like with greater emotional richness? Having a fuller, more
open heart allows you the ability to experience and express greater love, joy, compassion,
enjoyment. A more open heart center also allows for greater feelings of connectedness, a
sense of fullness, a richness of life. Would you like to experience this, to live in this manner?
Its definitely possible. I say, You deserve to live that way! Lets explore those
possibilities.
16
Near the physical human heart lies an energetic focal core called the heart center or
chakra (which means wheel). Individuals who are gifted with subtle-vision abilities can see
this heart center wheel swirling around the sternum, next to the physical heart. In Sanskrit,
the heart center is called Anahata which means unhurt, unstuck, unbroken. It is the
center for our higher feelings of compassion, altruism, devotion, connection and the
realization that everything is in universal order. It helps you have a sense of appreciation,
fullness and richness.
When your heart center becomes open and balanced, you are more unhurt from the daily
restrictions of living and become more unstuck from your old patterns, allowing you to feel
less broken. A number of spiritual /religious/philosophical traditions mention this realm of
human possibility in such terms as the innermost heart of the heart, the door to
universal/divine love, the inner sanctum, the key of the inner light.
The Upanishad texts refer to a full heart center in this way: There is a light that shines
beyond the world, beyond everything, beyond all, beyond the highest heaven. This is the
light that shines within your heart.
Buddha said: Joy comes not through possession or ownership, but through a wise and
loving heart.
Jesus emphasized living a heart-based existence. He said his most important teaching
[commandment] is to love God and other people. He stated that all his other teachings
hang on those two. Though not explicitly taught by him, I feel that we also have to, as a
foundation, love ourselves as well.
If your compassion does not include you, it is
incomplete.
Each of these teachings call for opening the heart more. You CAN experience a richness of
life and have a greater acceptance of most every circumstance. You need to accept that it is
possible and commit to achieving it!
17
Most people have walls built around our heart center to protect ourselves emotionally due
to past hurts and negativity from others and even our own self-inflicted ones. Additionally,
our fears, worries and doubts about our life and the world around us frequently overwhelms
the possibility of choosing more positive outlooks and options. As a result, the common
human experience about life tends toward one of restriction, separation and even isolation.
A constricted heart center, however, will make us feel defensive, controlling, critical,
suspicious, angry and/or withdrawn. If not released, the hurts we have experienced force us
to maintain this wall of protection, which further isolate us. It can lead to a life of cynicism,
resentment, loneliness and other negative attitudes. Yuck! Who wants that?
Imagine being able to love and appreciate more fully, to have the experience of greater
connectedness with everything around you, of rising and being above petty anger or
jealousy and other lower emotions. To be able to easily have and express more compassion,
altruism, unselfishness, joy and be able to appreciate yourself fully enough that you can give
and receive more readily, more completely, more richly.
Would you like to feel more comfortable in your skin and in the world? To see the glass of
life half full instead of half empty? To dissolve the illusion of separateness? To feel more
self-accepted, honored, secure, connected to everything around you, thus being more
appreciative, tolerant and accepting of other people and circumstances around you? It can
happen!
Such a reality can be yours, when your experiences of woundedness and sense of
separation have been healed (cleared) and when the potential of a more open heart is
cultivated as you begin to feel the fullness within. It is definitely a life worth living! Yes
indeed!
Can a person with a more open, fuller heart still be subject to the slings of negative
comments or to the pinch of losing something/someone dear to them? Of course they can.
It is a natural part of the human life experience. However, with a fuller heart the experience
wont impact a person so much or for so long. An open, stronger heart center will help
someone get through any difficult time or situation. Anyone can then more easily let go of
that pinch, recovering faster and more completely. The negative experience will more
readily melt away in the warmth of a fuller heart.
18
Reports from mystics and some ordinary persons who have had peak, illuminative {1}
experiences of consciousness (including those of this writer) have stated that a reality exists
wherein the environment around them is filled with a vast, unbounded fullness of great Love.
It was as if they were bathing in an warm ocean, the water all around them having the
quality of wholeness, complete connectedness and expansion, an unrestricted, huge, capital
L Love quality. Reports from many people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs)
say similar things. Indeed, even if those kind of direct perceptions occur quite rarely, it
would not be unreasonable to adopt and hold dear to us the idea that we exist in a lovesaturated universe.
Even though such peak experiences may last only several minutes, a few hours or even a
couple of days, the afterglow of the experience typically impacts and changes the our
outlook for the rest of our lives. It is like getting a huge booster shot of great well-being
that enables us to view the world as if looking through bright-colored glasses and with a
richness about life to effortlessly have a hopeful, positive outlook about our existence. {2}
By dissolving the hurts and other constrictions of the past and present, and by engaging in
the practices of opening-the-heart processes described below in this section, you can begin
creating a more open, fuller heart, allowing you the possibility to bathe in the ocean, even
if momentarily. With each dive, the enrichment and joy of your life will grow.
To begin the journey in opening and creating a fuller heart for yourself or to accelerate your
existing journey, I have listed and described below seven ways to help you create a fuller,
more open heart. They include subconscious clearing techniques, conscious enriching
actions and behaviors, and a superconscious connecting tool of alignment.
{1} definition: an expansion of awareness wherein the person cognizes either ecstatic
visions or a union with a greater, embracing presence around him/her.
{2} If you are interested in learning more about these type of peak experiences, a writer
who researched and described the illuminative experiences of numerous individuals
(including his own) is Richard M. Bucke, M.D. in his book Cosmic Consciousness. A
collection of NDE experiences are reported in both Closer to the Light and Transformed by
the Light by Melvin Morse, M.D. (all available via [Link])

1. Clear and Let Go of past constrictions, limitations, loss, wounds, abuse etc.
Very essential. Cultivating a more open heart becomes much easier once the lingering
impact of your past constrictions, conscious and unconscious, have been cleared and
neutralized. Its not that you will be able to forget those incidences, but you will be free of
their negative impact on you; you will be able to see them as just another life experience
from which you can learn a lesson. Go to this sites section on Subconscious Clearing to find
tools that you can work with for this purpose. Or, if the past wounds are serious or
traumatic, especially from childhood abuse, find a qualified therapist in your area to help
you.
Letting go (forgiving) can be a big issue, letting go of slights or abuse from others that you
are still conscious of and still feel resentful or bitter about.
Many people get
wounded/slighted and then hold on to the resentment that arises from it for way too long. If
you still carry anger about it, start with working on forgiving yourself first. There is always a
lesson to be gained from the incident, no matter how damaging it was. Have you
determined what the lesson for you is? Holding on to the old wounds definitely inhibits
receiving and giving love. Take care of yourself. Letting go of the wounds we no longer need
to carry allows room for new and brighter experiences.
Let any sense of fear, anger, bitterness, betrayal, resentment and unfairness to dissolve
through letting go of it.

Another obstacle to living with a fuller heart is the projection into the future of worries
about what might befall you. Too much focusing on the glass half empty inhibits the joyful
expression of your heart. I am not suggesting that you become a pollyanna person; careful
assessment(s) of what lies ahead for you is prudent. But once you become comfortable with
the decisions made, then take time to relax. In a relaxed state, more positivity and joy can
arise. How can you be more at ease in a topsy turvy, stressful world? You have numerous
options you can employ. See the Conscious Creating section of this site on: Seven Quick
Keys to Be Calm Now.
Taking time out to treat and care for your body and mind allows a greater well-being to
arise in you. When you nurture yourself, you will feel better. Thus, your warm-heart feelings
can more easily flow.
Decide upon and take actions to care for yourself MORE. For example, get massages or
other body work, take walks in parks and woods, engage more in enjoyable pastime
activities, do yoga. Treat yourself well. It will pay dividends for your body, your general
well-being, and will help allow more opening of your heart.
Also be attentive (nurturing) to the friends, family, pets, plants, etc., currently in your life.
High levels of attentive caring done freely, is called devotion. Is there some person, pet,
plant, or thing that you could become lovingly devoted to? Supporting and caring for
it/them over and over will do wonders to open your heart center.
As you dissolve the impact of past hurts and also reduce thoughts about future worries,
shift your attention to being more attentive/aware of what positive conditions are happening
in your present condition. Take some time to consciously appreciate all those things that
ARE working smoothly in so many ways for you. Do this every day. Such actions help open
your heart center.
Finding and expressing gratitude is a great way to stop finding fault with everything around
you. It can be in small things - like a cool breeze, a flower, the consistent flow of water and
electricity to your home, for the person who caused you to laugh, etc. Or it can be for bigger
21
things - the health you have, the people who have helped and guided you, your loved ones,
the accomplishments you have made.
5. Think with Your Heart and feel with your mind more.
In realizing that we are all connected at least in some way on some level, when you are
about to make a decision consider not only its logical [mind] pros and cons but also
consider on a deep feeling level (heart) how that decision and action will impact the
person(s) or situation around you. What does you heart center think about any possible
actions and its impact on others? Will it likely create a helpful, supportive response for them
or a restrictive response?
How can you find a win-win solution to a disagreement?
Remember, all of our actions produce consequences that sooner or later come back to
impact us. Do you want that returned impact to be a positive one or restrictive one for you?
Return to your heart center. Get in the habit of quickly shifting your awareness from just
your mind to your heart center when you become overly analytical or experience upset,
frustration, negative thoughts, hurtful mood. Doing so will help you quickly become more
centered, think clearly about possible consequences and be more caring with your decisions
or actions.
In addition to clearing out subconscious crud and consciously cultivating more heartcentered qualities as described in this article, I encourage you to also work with your
superconscious mind to open and bring in higher expanded energies. Doing so, if you are
comfortable with such an approach, will go a long way in dissolving the egos sense of
constriction and insecurities. As you do, love and all its aspects compassion, acceptance,
understanding, generosity, forgiveness - can begin to more readily and spontaneously fill
your heart.
Start by simply directing your superconscious self to bring in this expansive, sweet energy
(as I talked about earlier in the Ocean of Love segment) into you body, mind, and energy
field. Ask and ask again. It may take awhile before you experience any noticeable changes,
but it is easy to do and worth the continued practice.
22
A few other approaches you can take are: a) talk to your heart center, coax it to open
more; b) visualize green color around the heart chakra center, since green is the color
associated with it; c) practice an expansive meditation technique to facilitate dissolving
stress and constriction, which will automatically help allow your heart center to expand.
{see method 6 in subconscious clearing section of this site for details}.
What makes you smile? What makes you laugh? What gets you happy? What gives you
delight? Engage in activities that do those things. The joy and pleasure you experience
from those activities go a long way in opening your heart. Some activities I have found
especially helpful are listening to or singing with uplifting music, chanting, dance and
movement, a satisfying hobby that thrills your soul. (Im not talking about adrenaline
rushes, but activities that lighten your mood). Be sure to laugh more! Life can be so full of
laughter, it can be so funny, that unless your juices have become completely dry you cannot
be real serious.
Repeating certain affirmations also helps. Express, with feeling, ones like:
I am loved.
I nurture myself.
Repetition of such statements through each day and over the longterm will help build up
and keep those feelings in your everyday awareness.
