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

posted in: Deven's Journey, Mindfulness | 0

When I quiet my mind and tune in to my intuition, calling, and conscience, they guide me toward my path and vision: my true North.

It helps me connect to meaning and stay focused on it. It clarifies my mind, clears away the clutter and residues of the past, and builds momentum to tap into my free will and universal consciousness. It guides me through passing thoughts and emotions rather than letting them sweep me away. Over time, it can elevate my thinking, help me find answers, reveal new ways to see situations, and expand my mind’s horizons. It can give me energy, drive, balance, and joy from within.

My Inner Compass – True North

I am part of – one with – nature’s collective conscience, moving in harmony with it.

I open my mind like the sky, expanding my horizons to explore new ideas.

  • I let passing thoughts and emotions move through me without attaching to them. I accept it all and let it go.
  • I dissolve negativity and dense energy—I release my ego.
  • I witness fear, worry, and anxiety in the light of my awareness. I hold it with a peaceful heart and loving care.

I have faith, trust, and positive belief.

I focus on keeping my mind still, calm, and continually aware. I am spacious awareness.

I am a radiant being filled with light, love, purity, and goodness. I love myself and all living beings with compassion and care. I see all in their inner light.

I draw on my inner joy, peace, and abundance to be the channel for the positive change I want to see in my relationships, my work, and all things.

I lead my mind to focus on constructive and positive thoughts—to visualize and believe in the world I want to see and create. I develop, cultivate, and build innovative ideas.

I hold caring space for family, friends, and all—give, offer help, nurture others, find reasons to smile, and let my droplets drip.

I have childlike wonder, curiosity, lightness, openness, excitement, playfulness, and vulnerability.

I surrender to and seek guidance from divinity.

Proactive Approach – Right Action

Awareness and Discernment: Am I aware right now of my habitual thinking patterns? Am I seeing the current situation as it is, or is it tainted by my thoughts and emotions?

Inner compass of conscience: Does this action support well-being, insight, or connection – or does it pull me into confusion, distraction, and harm? 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?

Finding the Drive and Fuel

Surrendering to something way larger than my mind, body, and intellect can help drive and fuel – and also provide a new perspective and meaning – to connect with the purpose from inside and follow through to make things happen.

 

George Bernard Shaw:

This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I believe that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

To whatever degree you listen and follow your intuition, you become a creative channel for the higher power of the universe.
