People often note…that mindfulness and constant meditation practices must take a lot of discipline. But still, the best meditation is the one you perform because you know that you will benefit from it and simply feel better, more joyful, and balanced. Is it then proper to speak of discipline, or is it then not an enjoyable treat?

Yet, at some point, devotion and discipline are essential if you want to evolve to a higher level of consciousness, beautiful experiences, and peaceful sensations.

It mainly takes discipline with just this ONE THING! You need to learn and practice how to NOT WORRY about everything your senses, mind, and ego pick up. This is not really SOMETHING to do; rather than achieving the capability of doing NOTHING out of something!

To keep it simple. Become the master of your mind – keep your soul pure – add value to your consciousness through meaningful content – be kind and accommodating – deny your negative ideas that arise from your ego by simply not believing in them.

Sometimes a strict NO to a negative thought and emotion is all it takes. Then move on with something enjoyable.

The Truth is within everyone. The Truth is unconditional; The Truth is happiness, precision, love, warmth, safety, peace, freedom, calmness, and compassion. It is the capability of forgivingness and unification. Yet, we are filled with concerns, worries, adverse thoughts, fear, poor imagination, and wrong beliefs, which contradict the perfection inside of us, so now the Truth has to await our recognition and remembrance.

The Truth gives us the right of volition and the power of choice, which, if we finally accept means, we are the creator of our emotions, experiences, health, and satisfaction. It gives us the power to shape our own world in the grade we believe in things.

But why is it, then, that we experience negative thoughts, emotions, and situations which we obviously do not want? Simply to cast them out of our inside, as they are still there if we feel deeply addressed and they still have the power to influence our emotions or even control our behavior. Freeing our Minds from adverse thoughts is the real work in faith we have to do firstly.

Like it or not, but nothing happens by chance. You either gave your permission to your experiences on a higher level, with the goal to step forward, find a more appropriate perspective, and to gain higher consciousness and knowledge of the Truth within you. Or very likely, you created this experience yourself through the power of your thought and emotion, as things become manifest on the outside as you deeply believe in them. All of this is based on your own will of moving forward in collecting the next piece and putting together your own puzzle of wisdom, pure virtues, and knowledge of the Truth. 

The image of happiness and satisfaction spread by society, media, fashion, food, and adventure influencers is most likely not where absolute joy is awaiting. It is the joy of imagination, ceasing over time, leaving you behind with disappointment, soon forcing you to find the next sensation and attraction to make you happy and busy again.

Sometimes the Truth can be a burden; it can hurt if overseen for too long. It will hurt to the degree it is ignored – Again, it is your utmost unconscious wish to find back to the source of your inner greatness, harmony, glory, and true identity.

The only reason why we do not perceive the Truth clearly is because, as humans, we are multi-parted beings, carrying Ego, Spirit, and Mind in our Body. Our Ego causes separation, constantly feeding us with negative thoughts; but without it, we could not exist as a human being and experience this world on earth. However, we shouldn’t take the chitchat of it too seriously. Our Spirit knows already; it is willing to direct us and keeps us connected and united with something Greater. And with our Mind, we should always strive to consciously find the perfect and individual balance in us to enjoy this life in the most constructive, creative, pleasant, happiest, and harmonious way.

We find balance if we

– take care of our Body

– dissolve separation and anxiety caused by our Ego,

– gain readiness through self-awareness in our Mind, to consciously search, connect

– and commune with the true beauty of our higher Spirit within.

Good Sleep is a result. A result of our actions, mindset, and very important, of our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings throughout our day, the week, the month, our lives.

If our Sleep is lacking, we should start searching for the root cause during that specific day by investigating our inside, our behavior, and emotions. But first, we need to understand better what “I am”. We have to recognize ourselves as multi-parted beings. “I am Spirit, Mind, Body, and Ego”. And each of these parts that let me be a human being need to be taken care of in its supposed way. We can not just live our life by following our Ego and taking care of our bodies. We will want to clear our minds from unpleasant thoughts, and step by step, get closer to consciously feeling our higher spirit within.

When the sun sets, and we want to rest, our lived day will be significant for our inner-satisfaction and the quality of our Sleep. This day, we chose ourselves or at least accepted it by simply letting it happen. If we really want to make a change to the life we experience and improve our Sleep, the following central questions can help us gain awareness if we are willing, honest and self-critical to ourselves:

• Did I follow a self-determined occupation, which gave me pleasure?
• Which influences and attractions did I expose myself to?
• Which emotions did I carry inside of me?

Besides our basic needs and daily routine, it is our self-awareness, and the steps we make in developing our consciousness towards a purer and wiser one, that will lead us into the pathway of unconditional satisfaction and peaceful sleep. Consider these questions to help you realize where improvements can be made:

• Did I, through self-recognition and self-awareness, stimulate and improve my own consciousness?
• Did I stand by my inner-truth, as I was put to the test?
• Did I find recovery in stillness and out of my inner-source?

All other actions we take that arise from our lower desires and imaginations can be completely meaningless when we need deep-rest, unconditional satisfaction, and revitalizing Sleep.

Life primarily is about improving our consciousness, gaining self-knowledge through self-awareness, and bringing all of this into expression. It is a pure mind, awareness of our higher spirit, and kind actions that will increase our inner-satisfaction and, with it, our Sleep. (Good Sleep 2/3 click here)

In order to experience my True Identity, which is my Spiritual Being, I must choose to do so, and with this choice, I have to free my Mind as a first step. In fact, it takes almost nothing to experience my Spiritual Identity, but that is the point. Nothing means: no adverse thoughts, no worries, no imagination, Stillness, and this again means to accomplish a free and calm Mind. So, besides my will, choice, and, of course, faith in something Greater, a Pure Mind is what I wish to achieve. In communion with the Greater Power, to which I then can connect through my Spiritual Being, I will find Unconditional Peace, Safety, and Harmony. It will enlighten me with Love, Inner-Calmness, and Warmth.

This is what we all are looking for, and what will let us experience the condition and life we truly want to be in and live. But we often fail to connect to our Inner-Source because of the noise in our head, the loud voice of our Ego, the wrong imaginations, the fearful and negative thoughts. If we manage to calm and slow down, release stress and tension, our hearts will open up, and we will be able to hear the beautiful sound of our True Self. Then our prayers, concerns, and questions will be heard and answered, and we will be able to see and reach Better Solutions, Peace of Mind, and True Satisfaction. 

How busy is my Mind? 

What do I do to free my Mind? 

How ambitious am I in trying?

We still demonstrate success by showing off growth, mainly profit. How useless this is, shows when we experience discontent or pain. Today we can easily see that our material growth is not in balance with the mental and social evolution in society, according to material wealth and in recognizing us as one nation. There also seems to be a lack of awareness and mindfulness for the true meaning of life. This is mainly caused by not respecting and seeing ourselves as multipart beings with the need for inner clearing and nurturing by improving our consciousness with a more peaceful point of view.  However, clearing out fearful thoughts is something highly satisfying.

By focusing mainly on material growth and losing track of sanity and the deeper reason for life, we not only harm our mind and body, but also the environment of this beautiful planet. We should awaken to the fact that we can not grow with the same speed and intensity of the last 150 years any longer. Also, people are driven by existential fear, and that is an unfortunate burden for us to carry. Spirit and Nature will force us to make a stop, and it shouldn’t be a more sudden one than we are already experiencing right now. Therefore, we should prepare better by developing a more intelligent economic system. Ours is wobbling. It is time to think outside of the box more comprehensively. We all know communism doesn’t work, and capitalism can be adverse if out of balance, too. Maybe the solution is in the middle as a combination?

What about the idea of an unconditional basic income? An income every human receives to exist without being in fear of not surviving. Not as a replacement for our jobs, but on top. Just as much that it will be spent and is the fundament in the national economic system – to help each individual, but also businesses and governments to have a better countable basis. Couldn’t that mean real wealth and safety? Try to see this without worries, and it seems to be the solution we need. One that can help us slow and calm down and feel more confident, and focus on more meaningful things in life. It would decrease not only poverty and theft, but also sickness. We would have the favor of taking longer breaks to recover without being in fear and more time to reflect upon ourselves.

We shouldn’t worry about a change that seems unclear because we will adjust to the circumstances around us. This is part of human evolution. But waiting too long to make a change will cause pain, and therefore, we should step up and overcome our ignorance and idleness. Then, our ideas and actions should always be based on humility, compassion, and affection, and not so much on protecting old establishments.  

By finally accepting ourselves as multi-parted beings – Spirit, Mind, Body, and Ego – our perspective will be a much more precise one. We can then find out ourselves by investigating our actions, thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, which voice inside of us we mainly follow. Are we in a healthy balance? Am I in my personal balance that is right for me? Do I treat my Mind and Body well? Am I strong enough to recognize my Egos voice and deny it? Do I use self-awareness to develop my mind towards a more pure and kind one, which lets me feel unconditional satisfaction through my higher spirit – my true self? 

 Therefore, I check my manner, my mindset, and I reflect:

Did I follow a self-determined occupation, which gave me pleasure?

Do I have a job that makes me happy? What do I do in my free time? Do my hobbies satisfy me?

Which influences and attractions did I expose myself to?

How many negative headlines do I read or watch for sensation or excitement? How much time do I spend listening to music or the radio, watching tv, doing social media, or other things on my smartphone/tablet/pc? Are my surroundings calm or loud? Do I spend time in nature?

Which emotions did I carry inside of me?

How often do I feel angry, disappointed, sad, lonely, or aggressive inside? Am I joyful, free, happy, and satisfied? Where do my positive emotions come from?

Did I, through self-recognition and self-awareness, stimulate and improve my own consciousness?

Do I detect negative, fearful thoughts inside me and change my perspective towards a positive and peaceful one, by denying these adverse thought patterns? Do I ask my higher spirit within to support me in doing so? Do I know that my higher spirit is just waiting for me to do exactly this?

Did I stand by my inner-truth as I was put to the test?

Do I share my peaceful perspective with others, even though it will likely cause a discussion? Am I confident enough to calmly stand by my peaceful opinion?

Did I find recovery in stillness and out of my inner-source?

How much time do I spend in stillness, just sitting calm and clearing out negative thoughts, speaking some true, kind, and affirming words to myself?

Once again, the quality of my Sleep and my overall inner satisfaction are a result of me being in perfect balance and remembering my true identity. Yes, I will have to do something myself to achieve it! Now, I will give it a try and see how tranquil I will soon feel and sleep. 

Today our purpose of eating has changed. Not only the purpose but also the ingredients we eat have changed. Most of our foods are processed industrially with many chemical additives, for growing, raising, preserving, and enriching. We eat and gather, we eat for pleasure, sometimes for amusement, even if we are not hungry. We talk and eat, enjoy the taste, and don’t notice that we overeat too often. We eat so much that we harm our bodies. Enough said. We all know of it. But why can’t we change it? Why does it seem so difficult? Why has it become so easy to eat unhealthily?

We have a choice. I, by myself, decide what to buy and eat. It is up to me, and the supply of food will change over time by my choice and the others around me. So, why and how do I eat? The following can help to rethink and change our way of eating:

Eat when you are hungry – It is fundamental that we should eat when we are hungry for the purpose of nourishing and strengthening our bodies. We should find out ourselves when the moment is right for us to eat. Our digestion and organs are designed to work perfectly. But there is a precise order in our excellent digestive system, and the start-signal in this perfect sequence is given by ourselves when we are hungry. This is a very simple fact, but not to be underrated.

Eat in a calm condition and surrounding – Try to be quiet while eating; no phone, tv, newspaper, or chattering. Relax before eating; enjoy a moment of stillness before you start. Eat and chew slowly. The way you eat is as meaningful as what you eat! Try it.

Eat what you like – But choose the ingredients wisely and humanly. There is nothing wrong with eating meat, for the ones that like it, but in moderation. We should handle and take care of the animals in a more kind way. This would be easier if we’d start eating just half the amount of meat. Stables would have more room for the animals and wouldn’t need to raise the animals as fast, with too many hormones. But also for our fruits and vegetables, it is smart not to add too many chemicals to fertilize and preserve. Let nature do it for us, and let us try to buy more regional and seasonal.

Watch your Nutrition-Energy-Balance – Our foods and drinks contain an enormous amount of energy. Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and Caffeine are added in huge amounts (in the US average sugar consumption/person is 3-times higher than advised). Learn how to keep an eye on the energy balance between your food and your bodily energy use. Having Donuts and coffee, then trying to sit still at your desk, might not be the smartest thing to do. Watch your children’s nutrition balance too! The energy you consume through your food has to go somewhere! If you don’t move much, your body doesn’t need as much food as a lumberjack.

If you want to make a change to your nutrition, you can do it! Don’t make it special; keep it simple and suitable for every day.

– There are times where we live in such strain, fear, and under pressure that our condition interferes with our eating and digestion. We should then not try to sate ourselves through eating, but instead, reflect and take care of what is going on inside us. –

There are many pieces of advice you will receive from a professional sleeping consultant, and they will be okay. Try all of them. Some are: 

• Go to bed when you are sleepy. Not before, only because you think it is time to go to bed.
• Find and stick to a healthy sleeping routine – same hours.
• Find the right amount of sleep for you. Some people are fine with 5-7 hours, and others need 6–8 or even 8-10 hours. Albert Einstein reportedly slept for at least 10 hours/day.
• If you can’t sleep, do something different and more mindless, read a book, go for a walk, try meditating, sing some songs, do housework, but don’t force yourself to sleep.
• Don’t take your cell phone to bed with you. Choose flight mode more often.

• Find the best spot in your room to put up your bed, facing the outside, or open space, away from other people in the house. Avoid sleeping head to head with other people in your home or the same building, like in a hotel.
• Make your bed every day yourself, so it is comfortable, clean, and looks inviting.
• Don’t expose yourself to bright light the last 2 hours before you go to bed. Instead, dim your lights and do something calming.
• Watch your nutrition. Don’t consume caffeine, alcohol, sugar, or high fructose corn syrup in the last 4 hours before you go to bed.
• Don’t overload yourself with information. Your mind will work on it.
• A hot shower or physical exercise before you go to bed can be relaxing for one. For another, it will stimulate blood circulation and increase adrenalin, which will make you even more awake. Find out what type you are.

But this is only half the truth, and you will only be able to tell if you try and search for the truth yourself. The quality of your sleep is mostly your achievement.
