Clarify Mind: 8 of 12: Leading with the Inner Compass

posted in: Deven's Journey, Mindfulness | 0

When I quiet my mind and tune into the voice from inside, my intuition, calling, and voice can guide me to the path and vision – my true North – that would help me discover and realize meaning for my life. I had taken from Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People to create a mission statement for myself. The alignment with the inner compass can ignite fire to set and achieve goals and to transform life. My mind has tremendous potential when I guide it with a clear intention – the focus can bring insights, direction, resourcefulness, initiative, and drive to make things happen.

Listening to the voice from inside and following through on it helps me tap into the genius of the universe. It guides me in navigating the weather of thoughts and emotions passing through me rather than being swept away by them. Over time, it clarifies my mind from the clutter and residues of the past and builds new momentum to tap into my free will and universal consciousness. It can elevate my thinking, helping me find answers, see new ways to look at situations, and expand my mind’s horizons. It can give me energy, drive, balance, and joy from inside.

My Inner Rudder – Mission Statement

Be part of, connect with, be in harmony with nature’s collective conscience.

Use my spacious awareness and consciousness to heal, clarify my mind, and strive to dissolve ego and emotional bindings.

Open up my mind like the sky:

    • Expand its horizons to see and explore new ideas.
    • Let the weather of emotions and thoughts pass through.
    • Dissolve negativity and dense energy.
    • Create – develop – cultivate

Have a child like wonder, openness, excitement, playfulness, and vulnerability.

Hold nurturing space for family, friends, and all. Connect and give with heart.

Unconditional Forgiveness – accept, let go, equanimity, and a peaceful heart.

Loving kindness – Find reasons to smile, to give, to let go … let my droplets drip.

Abundance – Surrender – Intuition – Bliss and Peace from Inside

Humility – Lightness – Gratitude – Curiosity – Stay Hungry – Stay Foolish

Proactive Approach – Right Action

Use my awareness and mindfulness to get an accurate assessment of my situation. What’s needed in each merging moment? I contribute what I can, working within my circumstances to benefit all involved, fully recognizing that my actions are only part of the broader causes and actions. Can I be constantly aware of how my habitual reactive patterns are triggered?

My conscience guides me to the true north from inside and aligns with the natural laws and my inner rudder. When I tune into it, it can show me what I need to accept and let go of.

I can use imagination to set the goals.

The belief and connection to them from inside can help galvanize my mind and cultivate the will to take meaningful steps.

It can help me embark on proactive initiatives rather than reacting to the weather of thoughts and fears.

Right Speech

My thoughts, words, and expressions carry vibrations that touch countless beings – their energy, reactions, and reflections last forever.

Is what I am saying or speaking true? Does it create harmony? Is it gentle? Is it beneficial? Am I speaking with a mind of goodwill? Is this the right time for it?

Can I use loving and compassionate speech to cultivate peace within and with others? Can I be a patient and empathetic listener?
