Influencing The Mind Field

I've spoken in the past about the interconnection of all things.  In other words we are all made of energy from the same source and are connected energetically via that force.  Some call it the Living Matrix, others call it the Spiritual Field, the Field of Life, etc.  The most common experiences of the field are sympathy, empathy, and true heart felt compassion.  However, we can also experience the field on the level of thought.  Through the Mind Field, we can influence others.  When we are in touch with the Mind Field unconsciously we can be affected by others negative thoughts, it can feel  as if we are in a Mine Field of negativity.  

As we continue our investigation of the Hero's Journey let us consider this concept of the Mind Field.  As we embark on a Hero's Journey part of our intention is to become more conscious of thoughts, beliefs, and constructs of the mind.  Some thoughts and beliefs may serve us, others may not.  By intentionally paying attention without judgement, we can become conscious of our thoughts. This paying attention gives us an opportunity to challenge thoughts and beliefs that don't serve us.  Byron Katie's www.thework.com offers a few simple steps to get clear and find the truth behind our thoughts.  With a little bit of work, we can transform and begin to accept life on life's terms.  What this also does is minimizes negativity, keeping us in flow with our soul.

Now, lets get back to that Mind Field.  As we become more conscious of our thoughts, we can make better choices about what we will focus on.  We can focus on the positive, on gratitude, on acceptance, on non-judgement, on trust, on surrender, and peace, minimizing the amount of negativity that we put out into the Mind Field.  Because we are all connected, as we send out these high vibrational thought frequencies, we can raise the consciousness of the planet via the Mind Field.  If we fail to become intentional about our thoughts we will be influenced by others thought vibrations.  Unintentionally, we may land in a Mine Field of negative thought.

Depending on where you are on your journey, it might feel right to you to pay particular attention to your thoughts, challenge them and raise their vibration:  Is it true?, how do you know it's true?, Who would you be without that thought?  How can you turn that thought around coming into a deeper alignment with reality? (Katie, www.thework.com)  Open your mind to new possibilities, take the first step of initiation on the Hero's Journey.

(Later today I'll offer another approach that may resonate if this doesn't seem to fit your needs.  It's important to remember, one approach never fits all.)
