Changing Your Life Through Meditation

Effects of Morning Thoughts

• Most people think about their problems tied to memories & emotions when they wake up.
• This thought pattern is like an old tape recording, playing the same memories over and over.
• Your brain is a record of the past; thinking about problems puts you in a past mindset.
• Recalling memories of problems brings negative emotions (unhappiness, sadness, pain).

State of Being

• How you think and feel creates your state of being and character.
• Living in the past ensures the past becomes your future.
• Example: Consistent anger from past events can become part of your character.
• Thoughts influence destiny; thinking in the past recreates an undesirable life.

Daily Routine & Subconscious Programming

• Typical routine: checking phone, same behaviors, same routes, same emotional triggers.
• Routine turns into subconscious programming, ruling your actions.
• By age 35, 95% of who we are is a set of memorized behaviors, emotional reactions, unconscious habits, hardwired attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions.
• Conscious desires (e.g., wanting to be happy) often fail against the subconscious.

Making Changes

• Need to get beyond the analytical mind (separates conscious & subconscious minds).
• Meditation helps change brain waves, allowing access to the subconscious.
• Most people wait for crises to change; Joe Dispenza suggests changing in joy and inspiration.

Living in Survival Mode

• Many live in stress, anticipating the worst due to past experiences.
• Negative thinking patterns recreate negative emotional states and experiences.
• Body and mind are conditioned to negative emotions and survival mode.

The Unknown & Meditation

• Body resists change, prefers familiar negative states.
• Meditation helps enter the unknown, essential for creating a future.
• Imagining and emotionally feeling the desired future helps rewire the brain.
• The brain doesn’t distinguish between real and imagined experiences.
• Meditation changes the brain from a record of the past to a map for the future.

Emotions & Thoughts

• Thoughts are the brain's language; feelings are the body's language.
• Emotions signal the body about thoughts; crucial for creating the future.
• You don’t need to wait for external changes to feel differently (success, wealth, love).
• Feeling emotions of the desired future starts creating that future.

Meditation & Awareness

• Thoughts don’t have inherent truth; most routine thoughts are repetitive.
• Meditation helps become aware of how you think, act, and feel.
• Familiarize with old thoughts/emotions to prevent them from influencing you.

Creating a New Self

• Like gardening, you need to remove the old to plant the new.
• Training the body to meditate is challenging; it's like training a wild animal.
• Consistently bringing the body back to the present moment disciplines it.
• Over time, the body surrenders to the new program initiated by the mind.

Liberation & Consistency

• Liberation of energy occurs when the body acknowledges the mind’s control.
• Consistent practice leads to noticeable changes in life within seven days.
• Persisting in this practice transforms the future reality into the current reality.
