The Invisible Mentor

There are times when we feel out of sync, like our life does not fit us, like nothing is working for us. For us to live a fulfilled life, all aspects of ourselves have to be in sync with each other. So, Have you ever been in a situation where nothing worked for you? You tried many different things but to no avail, now what do you do?

A few years ago,  I asked Lydia Danner and Lea Chambers to share their techniques when all else fails.

Lydia Danner who teaches high-speed learning shares her process with us. “Quiet your mind and go to the place where the true solutions lie…to the alpha state of your brain. It is in this state that we can access our higher power. But, it’s usually the last place we want to go in our frenzied quest to get things done. If we could train ourselves to go to this state first, that is our best solution, for everything…yes, absolutely everything.

So, how do we access our higher power whenever we want or need to? By slowing down our brain. By living an alpha life. According to scientists, there are four known (and possibly more) brain wave states…beta, alpha, theta and delta. Our general state of being is the beta brain state which oscillates at 14 to 25 cycles per second. This is where stress, anger and disease reside. Then there is alpha (7 to 13 cycles per second), where all creativity resides and where all things are conceived before they become reality. This is also where learning takes place.

The next time you find yourself in a situation where nothing is working, it is because you are in a highly agitated beta state and you are preventing solutions from coming to you. Sit in a comfortable chair and relax. Breathe deeply. Close your eyes and count backwards (in your head), slowly, from 10 to 1. While you are counting, roll your eyes upward toward the space between your eyebrows. This effectively puts a brake on your beta frenzy and slows your brain down to alpha. You can actually feel this happening. In this state of well being answers will flow to you. In other cultures this is called the state of surrender. Try it. Your life will be the better for it.”

Lea Chambers, a marketing professional responded, “I believe that when we are on the right path in life and moving in the right direction, the results we want come to us, seemingly without effort or struggle. However, sometimes our conscious mind just doesn’t have the capacity to understand what that might be. This causes fear and stress for us, but we can overcome those feelings if we believe in synchronicity and the power of Being in the Now.

I’ve just recently come through a period where I wasn’t getting the results I wanted right away. At first I struggled with this, becoming emotional, fretting over why things weren’t working, wondering what I was doing wrong, looking backwards at the decisions I had made to get me to this point and beating myself up about them.

Then, one day, I surrendered to all of that frustration and struggling and just TRUSTED that I was in exactly the right place at the right time. I looked at my situation differently and saw all the positive things that were happening all around me and enjoyed each day, rather than fighting against the way the path was leading me. I relaxed, just focused on doing what brought me pure joy and didn’t worry about the results I was getting. I just decided to breathe and “BE” and exist in the moment and not be connected to any outcome whatsoever. I took time to “clean my space”, get exercise, eat better, call people I hadn’t spoken to for a while, read some good books, slept a lot, went for slow walks in the woods and felt love and joy.

Then, one day, without me having to do much at all, the result that I had wanted all along virtually came to me and was absolutely better and bigger and more wonderful than anything I had imagined. And I had to do almost nothing to make it happen.

Believe in synchronicity and ignore the mind’s tendency to trouble over what “isn’t”. Focus on what is and let your Being breathe within that space, where time and money and all your daily troubles are irrelevant. There is something bigger out there waiting for you that is larger and more wonderful than what you could ever imagine.”

Are you willing to try something that’s different?
