The Mind

Your mind is the greatest gift you have ever been given.  It’s Traversed time and goes beyond space. Given the right direction from the heart, it coordinates the rest of your bodiy into action. It has an immensity of thought and allows you to recognize experience. So it is an incredible gift, but it’s also kind of like a toddler.

Sometimes toddlers like to get into places where they’re not supposed to be and make toys of things that are not supposed to be toys. So your toddler is running around with the kitchen knife that’s not so good. We chase after the child with the knife and exchange it for something safer, and then let them begin running around (safely) again. It’s almost exactly the way you need to treat your mind, and meditation becomes a tool to do so. The purpose of meditation in the kundalini technology is not to slow the mind down, particularly, or even to reign in its massive energy and power. Just give it constructive tools and direction, and allow for that to create new pathways of thought and experience. 

Just like you wouldn’t give your toddler the steering wheel of the car and go for it, it’s not too wise to let your mind take the steering wheel wheel of your life. Which is what an untrained mind will try to do. The untrained mind is a headstrong kid that’s always trying to take the wheel and derail you into some version of self-destructiveness 

We have allowed the collective and personal mind’s untrained destructiveness to take over all our media, politics, economy, and really all of society. And we don’t have the societal training in the West, particularly, to train the mind on a daily basis, whether through nature, meditation, or any contemplative practice. 

One of the major problems with an untrained mind is that it will not allow you to command the time and space of this lifetime. When you leave the mind untrained, it will make you feel as if you are barreling out of control, and will give you the corresponding, anxiety and fear responses.

You have only so much time and so much space to live this life, and it is so very precious. Rather than let you waste this life on the teeter totter of a toddlers whim, I want to give you some tools to your mind towards success and satisfaction.
