Today I met with a former student and Mind Mastery Experience participant.
Today’s conversation was powerful. He’s 19 years old, and he shared about challenges and successes he’s been facing, and what it’s been like to navigate life and listen for his own authentic voice, and then living it with integrity.
At times contrary to how his friends think he should be living.
At times contrary to how his family thinks he should be living.
Through our work together he’s gotten very clear and confident in his own inner knowing, and he finds that being authentic in his life has been easier than he thought, even in the face of pressures from others to conform to how they think he should live.
Mind Mastery grounds us in our own values and commitments, so we’re much less likely to leave them at the door when confronted, challenged, unsure, or insecure.
He shared how proud he was of himself to not be taking things personally, getting frustrated with others, or feeling like he needs to be living a different life.
Here’s another thing he shared: when he's grounded and clear, he more clearly sees when other people are living fake… and that it comes from fear and insecurity.
One of the tools in the Mind Mastery Experience is this: “I’ve been pretending _____, when in fact _____.”
So many of us pretend to have ourselves together, yet we’re scared. Scared of being wrong, scared of making mistakes, scared of not measuring up, scared of not knowing, scared of looking bad, scared of feeling stuck.
Insecurity is driving so much of our lives, and we call it normal! It's like we move through much of life in a cage of our own making, hoping to one day "make it" and break free from that cage.
Many of us don't even see that freedom as a possibility in this life at all, and we think that our best hope is to cope with life in a spiritual, emotional, and mental cage.
From that insecurity, we make decisions that go against what we value, what we are committed to, what we truly want, who we really are.
We people-please, we lie, we use substances, and we stress.
With Mind Mastery, something else becomes possible.
Life doesn’t become easy with Mind Mastery, but we get to live life with more ease.
One of the most powerful possibilities this young man walked away from the Mind Mastery Experience with was the possibility of being unconditionally happy.
Can you imagine that? Unconditionally happy...
The promise of the Mind Mastery Experience is that ALL people wake up and free themselves from the inherited and self-imposed constraints of fear, insecurity, judgment, expectation, and misalignment.
Mind Mastery is alignment at ALL levels of our being - mind, heart, body, spirit, and relationships.
At the end of our conversation today, I asked him a question I often ask at the end of intentional conversations: “Is there anything else you’d like to say to be complete with this conversation?”
He thought for a moment, then said this: “Thank you. Thank you for seeing more in me than I saw myself. And thank you for helping me to see it too.”
I’m grateful for my relationship with him - and I'm grateful he sees more in me more than I sometimes see in myself, and that he helps me to see it too.
Much Love. ❤️
