unchain your mind
Author :: Jess Marie 🌻 CVC, CAHC, INHC, E-RYT
One of my main focuses is cultivating a mindset of freedom & liberation, freeing mySelf from limiting beliefs, societal norms, and conditioning, as well as allowing sacred space for Self realization & Self expression.
In my past experiences, I’ve found mySelf bound by these invisible chains that restrict my awareness, Soul ascension, personal & spiritual growth, and my connection to Source | The Divine | The Universe, as well as obscure my perspective & relationship with my true, higher Self.
limiting beliefs ::
Limiting beliefs are the mental barriers one constructs, often without realization. They include the "I can't …," "I'm not enough …," and "It's too late …" thoughts that play in the background of one’s mind. To break free from these constructs one must first recognize them.
Reflection: What stories have you been telling yourSelf? Are they serving your highest good? Awareness is the first step. Once one becomes aware of such beliefs, one can challenge and replace them with empowering affirmations. For instance, "I can't" can transform into "I’m capable of achieving anything I set my mind to." By consistently reinforcing positive thoughts, one begins to rewire their mind for success & fulfillment.
My Personal Experience: I remember when I used to think I was unable to attract my dream life partner due to having unrealistic relationship standards. This perception was formed from the reoccurring, unsolicited advice I received throughout my early twenties. This perception became a deep-rooted belief that lingered for many years, making me feel as though I was seeking “too much” and should settle for less. It wasn’t until I started challenging this belief and embracing my true worth when I realized my standards weren’t too high, but were aligned with my highest purpose. This shift in mindset opened the door for my most beautiful relationship, which I cherish with my entire Being. I proved to mySelf that breaking free from my limiting beliefs can indeed transform my life and strengthen my manifestation ability.
societal norms & conditioning ::
Our society often imposes norms that dictate how one should live, think, and behave. While some norms can be beneficial, others can stifle one’s individuality & creativity. To cultivate true freedom, one must question these norms and discern which ones align with one’s authentic Self.
Reflection: Consider the areas in your life where you feel constrained by societal expectations. Do you feel this in your career, relationships, or lifestyle choices? Reflect on whether these expectations resonate with your inner truth. Remember, you have the power to define your path and live in alignment with your values & passions.
My Personal Experience: Four years ago, I made the conscious decision to disconnect from social media, and the transformation has been profound. Liberated from the constant barrage of digital noise, I've rediscovered a sense of inner peace & clarity that had long eluded me. Without the distractions of likes, comments, and notifications, I've cultivated a deeper connection with my Self, embracing introspection and Self reflection as guiding principles on my journey of Self ascension. Freed from any social pressures & expectations, I've learned to appreciate the beauty of my own unique journey and honor the wisdom of my inner voice. Most importantly, by relinquishing the grip of social media, I've been able to fully immerse mySelf in the present moment, savoring life's simple pleasures and embracing each day with renewed vitality & gratitude.
sacred space for personal growth & self expression ::
To nurture growth & Self expression, it’s essential to create sacred space, both physically & mentally. A sacred space is a sanctuary where one can connect with their inner Self, free from distractions & judgments.
Practice: Create your sacred space. It can be a corner of your home dedicated to contemplation & Self inquiry, a journal where you pour out your thoughts, or simply a mindful practice that brings you peace. In this sacred space, allow yourSelf to explore, dream, and express without limitations. Engage in activities that ignite your soul, whether it's painting, reading, dancing, writing, or spending time in nature. Embrace your uniqueness and let your authentic Self shine through!
My Personal Experience: My altar is a place where I can read, set intentions, and connect with my higher Self. It's adorned with items that hold special meaning to me: crystals, deity statues, divination decks, etc. This sacred space serves as a daily reminder to pause, reflect, and honor my inner universe, fostering a deep sense of inner peace.
This quote from the Yoga Vasistha serves as a guiding light to the specific Self Work of deconditioning. This specific form of Self Work is about unraveling the layers of conditioning that have shaped one’s thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions of Self & experience. This deep inner work requires one to transform their inner universe, which in turn shifts their perspective on Self & reality. By examining & releasing ingrained patterns, one allows their Self to see life with fresh eyes, free from the limitations imposed by past experiences and societal expectations.
By transcending mental limitations, as the Yoga Vasistha suggests, one begins to uncover one’s authentic Self. This process allows one to see beyond the illusions created by the mind, leading one to a deeper understanding of one’s true nature and the boundless potential within. In doing so, one not only frees their Self from mental bondage but also cultivates emotional maturity, resilience, and a more expansive view of reality, ultimately living a life aligned with our highest truth and being even more capable of responding to life's challenges with greater wisdom & compassion.
let’s walk this path together
The journey to freedom & liberation is ever-evolving, requiring patience, Self-compassion, and the courage to step beyond the familiar. Every small victory is a celebration of the relationship you are building with your true Self.
