Some last thoughts before I sleep..

As I close my eyes I let the day pass away – but not before I let some final thoughts sink into my subconscious. These are precious thoughts – the most important thoughts of the day. For as I sleep, as my brain waves slow down to theta and delta, this is the moment when the door to my unconscious slips open. This is the moment when thoughts slip through unchecked and my subconscious can work on it all night. So I make sure my final thoughts are special thoughts – of gratitude for something special that has happened that day, and affirmations – reminding myself of who I truly am. This is pushing the reset button before I sleep. For I know that the last 5 minutes before I sleep are the most important 5 minutes. This is when mind programming takes place  – for better or worse – depending on the thoughts. And the program your subconscious runs affects your whole life.

I first encountered this idea – of the last 5 minutes before sleep – when reading the work of Dr Wayne Dyer, and it has stayed with me ever since.

So before I sleep tonight, allow me to share something with you – the key to it all is awareness – not effort or strain – simply, awareness. It takes practice but with enough time you can get there.

We already talked about meditation. But it doesn’t stop there. It starts there.

Make the last 5 minutes before you sleep count and you will be rewarded.

Remember – this is for you and you alone. Don’t sabotage your efforts by trying to explain or justify to someone else. They will never understand until they come to it of their own accord – if it’s their wish. Your life journey is your own business and no one else’s.

I found this incredible music on YouTube and I wanted to share it with you. See the link below. As a musician myself it resonated so much with me. I like to have something like this in my head before I sleep and just let the world drift away.

There is another life you know, without all this madness. You don’t need to travel far to find it. It’s all right within your grasp. You just got to look for it..

Who are you?

Never is a question more wrongly answered than this:

Who are you?

You are not your name
You are not your appearance, or your physical shape
You are not your age
You are not your profession
You are not your gender or sexuality, or your nationality
You are not the property of the state, your employer, spouse, partner or family 
You cannot be defined by wealth or status
You cannot be defined by the car you drive, or the house in which you live
You are not the clothes you wear, the food you eat, or your golf swing
You are not defined by your goals or your ambitions
You cannot be contained, or imprisoned, for you are more than your body 
You are not what you did, what others said you did, or what you thought you did
You cannot be labelled
You are not what others may call you
You are not your mind or your memories
You are not what happened to you in your past
You are not defined by your doubts or fears
You are not your language or culture
You are not your social media profile nor your username, nor your latest selfie
You are not your football team’s ranking or your position in the local community
You are not an economic unit turning the wheels of industry
You are not your religion or political persuasion
You are not a victim, though your ego may choose that name for yourself
You are no-one’s master, though others may say otherwise, or you may think otherwise
You are not the same human being you were a minute ago, for nothing in the universe is fixed in time
You are neither good nor bad

Know this..

You are one who could instinctively save another with no thought for your own life
You are the one behind the smile to a stranger – for no reason other than an expression of life seeking life
You are one who can give love to others, and who is worthy of love from others
You are the one who can bring light where there is darkness, if you so choose
You are the one who can be the party, not just go to the party
You are one who can say more with silence than with words
You are one who can speak up when truth cannot be suppressed
You are one who can be alone, but not be lonely
You are one who can see, though your eyes may be closed
You are one who can be both the musical notes and the silence in between them in the symphony
You are the one who is the artist and the subject
You are one who can choose destruction or creation, chaos or order, suffering or compassion
You are one who can choose happiness or sorrow
You are more than you can think
You are more than you can speak
You are more than you can do
You are greater than your feelings
You are more than the sum total of all your daily habits
You are more than the program hard-wired into your subconscious
You are so much more than you will ever understand
You are spontaneous
You are magnificence itself
You are an incredible work of art and are not to be rushed, but to be marvelled at and appreciated
You are limitless universal power – ever flowing, never ceasing
You are multi-dimensional
You are bigger than this world
You are beyond all analytical thinking and experimentation
You are less than no one, you are greater than no one
You are the creator of your earthly experience
You are the maker of the movie of your life – the director and the star
You are the force which moves the avatar – your body – in whatever manner you may choose, be it with grace, agility, or aggression
You are the being that can remain absolutely still and do nothing – just be
You are the guard at the doorway of your mind
You are the thinker, not the thoughts
You are the infinite space between all your thoughts
You are the creator of the thoughts from which all else proceeds and from which your reality unfolds
You are utterly complete and in need of no one or no thing
You are perfect imperfection
You are me, and I am you
You are from that which has no name, no sound, no image
You are the very stuff of the universe
You are infinite
You are all that is, all that was and all that shall ever be.
You are pure energy

You are life itself, discovering.. life itself
