Misunderstandings of the Mind

A cool conversation with John El-Mokadem about the misunderstanding of intelligence. How there is an intelligence behind life that is always guiding us, always taking care of us and ever present, yet we get caught up in our thinking trying to make things happen, life gets so much easier when you relax into it. Some great points I heard are: Switching off your filter to see more Allowing us to go deeper than the brain the intelligence behind life How much we live in our intellectual thinking Why thinking is not the solution How thinking gets in the way of intelligence How insights come to us When you speed up, step away Your well-being is underneath The value of seeing the mind body connection What is the intelligence behind in life How much energy does it take to be tired The only destination in life is now How we navigate life without thinking Is there really nothing to do? My well-being is not dependant on what I do Whats on offer is way beyond your imagination Your intellect only provides a limited view The benefits of seeing how the mind really works John can be found at his website here The post The Intelligence Behind Life appeared first on Misunderstandings of the mind.

A real eye opener of a conversation with Jules Swales on understanding the source of, and how our creative potential shows in the world, whether its through writing or artistic talent, or just something that wants to be created in the world. This was a great exploration of what is really true for everyone. Some points that stood out to me are: When insight comes for most people Problem solving in surprising ways When we get out of the way genius appears Beyond the story of me When we give up trying… things happen The multiple forms of creativity Courage to do… How we create future catastrophe Getting out of our own way How thought looks so compelling Self conscious judgement What if it was true that…. Where does insight come from? Effortless creativity vs The Story of me The surprise of creative genius How we make thought more real You can find Jules at her website here www.julesswales.com The post Our Creative Potential appeared first on Misunderstandings of the mind.

An amazing conversation with author and one of the original 3p teachers Jack Pransky about bringing the best out in people, from all types of relationships such as parenting, as a coach, in the business workplace and how we bring out the best in ourselves all ties into the misunderstanding of how the mind works, and years of installed rules and concept about what the best is, and how to get it. Listen in if you’re curious about how it all works. Some of the points that stood out to me are: the best – our spiritual essence The best is always there Thought creates the illusion that its not Bringing out our innate health If its there already, there is nothing to do to find it Its an undoing rather than a doing Doing the opposite of personal development Calmness – when we get our best ideas All we have to do is look within ourselves How we create our own bad feelings Where happiness comes from Happiness is already within us What it means to get out of own way Not taking other peoples thinking personally How we lower our own spirits Our feelings are the indicator How we get caught up in our feelings How the system works Why its never a good idea to act when troubled Allowing the space for insight to come through Wisdom is always trying to come up The only thing holding it down is our thinking Getting out of our personal thinking Leadership qualities and how we perceive them Leaders don’t want followers Seeing the best in others is the ultimate answer We need to be able to SEE to help others How to give the best environment for your kids How to bring the best out in our kids How to bring out the best in our staff in business What is it that allows connection with another The post Bringing the Best out in People appeared first on Misunderstandings of the mind.

A great conversation with Rohini Ross on the misunderstanding of conflict & commitment in relationships, discussing the common misunderstandings and how we try to resolve them, and seeing our true nature, and how relationships really work when we are not caught up in our thinking of how they should be. How commitment really works Being one foot out of the door We can only see whats happening at the time from our current level of understanding Fulfilling the role of the absent parent Meeting childhood needs Trying to meet needs externally The experience of well-being independent of our circumstances Habitual conditioning Why changing the external doesn’t work Repetitive Power Struggles Looking to our natural state Its not about the past anymore Understanding where suffering comes from Dropping into the present Why some thoughts are more sticky Gathering Evidence The honeymoon period is a gift! Taking others suffering personally Showing compassion is transformative How grounding defuses volatility Having less judgement of our experience How we collect evidence to make thoughts look real Seeing where your experience comes from is the key Putting the oxygen mask on yourself first How the story of me looks real The infinite intelligence behind fresh thought How people naturally get clear perspectives Can we be in a relationship with anyone Impersonal Love vs Personal Love Connection with self is the ultimate goal When the nice feeling comes Curiosity and presence How the dominos fall in all areas of life Why personality types are not relevant Getting caught up is learning Rohini Ross is passionate about helping people wake up to their true nature.

In this episode Steve Adair shares his experience and understanding of the process of personal development, this was a revealing and thought provoking conversation where we see the complete misunderstanding of personal development that shows up for most people in life who want to better themselves. What are limiting beliefs ? Why optimising your illusion is pointless How to recover from personal development There is no need to develop the self We’re never away from our true nature Innocently – we’re all looking in the wrong place for mental health We were all born a blank slate How personal Development develops the Ego If our physical well-being heals, why doesn’t our mental No one else can make you feel better I can’t develop me – because there is nothing to develop We’re all innocently developing the self Habitual cycles on non helpful thinking The treadmill of personal development The detail of our thinking is just information Why develop a misunderstanding? Being present on the journey The only destination in life is the journey The destination is being alive There is nowhere to get to The definition of success You are already home there is nowhere to get to Real sustainable change comes through our spiritual nature How we create our limitations through thought Efforting vs Awakening Steve’s website is http://3plifesoul.co.uk/ if you would like to get hold of him or learn more about what he is sharing.

A great conversation with Dr Amy Johnson on the subject of habits, compulsive eating and behaviours. This conversation really clearly highlights the misunderstanding of compulsive eating, where we spend a lifetime dealing with our thinking, what looks like the problem, and that we are all way bigger than that. Subjects we covered: Why food becomes primary addiction after drugs & alcohol How food covers a sense of emptiness How using food becomes a tool for coping with emotions How food fills the void Why people gain so much weight in addiction recovery The wisdom in finding ways to cope How all addictions are the same And all mental health diagnosis Looking at the content is not helpful Where to start to look No one is compulsively eating because they are hungry! Escaping from a discomfort we don’t like Whats common in all problems Am I really a compulsive eater? How we turn thoughts into meaning – thingifying Why we make a case for details being real Being afraid of our experience Feelings are all ok and safe We always come back home Feeling our thinking about situations Whats really going on Vs what I think is going on Becoming aware the narrator in our mind Whats beyond the narrator? It’s ok to feel hungry The feeling of space A whole new normal takes over Developing a different relationship with experience If you would like to reach out to Amy you can do so here at her website https://dramyjohnson.com/ The post Misunderstanding of Compulsive Eating appeared first on Misunderstandings of the mind.
