subconscious mind & conscious mind visual

azee — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 16:27:04 GMT

here's an interview excerpt between
Mike Littman and Bob Proctor
which i find a very helpful visual:

Mike: We're talking here about altering habits and I think
we're talking about the bedrock of so much of being born
rich and getting it out there. Let's stay here for a
second I want to stop at the subconscious mind because it's
such a critical factor in everything that's going on here.
Can you talk a little bit about the laws of our
subconscious mind like how it works, and why it's really so
critical in habits and everything else?

Bob: Mike, if a person would build an image first of all in
their minds because we think in pictures. If I asked you
to think of your car you get an image of your car. If I
asked you to think of a microphone you're probably sitting
in front of one so you have an image of a microphone. If I
asked you to think of a clothes closet you get a picture.
If I asked you to think of your mind you don't get any
picture. So just build an image for a moment that your
head is your mind.

Now your mind is in every cell of your body but we have to
have an image to operate with. Everything from the neck
down is the body. Now the body does whatever the mind
tells it. If you could visualize an imaginary line right
across the center of your head, a horizontal line and the
top half represents the conscious mind and the bottom half
represents the subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind will accept anything you give to it.
It is not able to differentiate between what you imagine
and what is real, it'll accept anything. It is totally
subjective. The conscious mind can accept or reject. We
can originate ideas. We can build any picture we want in
our conscious mind. If we would begin building beautiful
pictures in our conscious mind and then learn how to plant
them in our subconscious mind instantly and automatically
our lives will begin to change.

This is Awesome...TV w/ Consciousness.

(taken from the website)

Harmony was founded as a “conscious business,” offering media that uplift the human spirit and honor viewer’s peace of mind. In addition to profit, sustainability and shareholder value, Harmony also provides a harmonious work environment that values creative expression, diversity, integrity, environmental stewardship and quality of life. In other words, we seek to “walk our talk.”

The Harmony Mission

Harmony Channel’s vision is to offer a television network that is an oasis of peace in today’s increasingly fast-paced and cluttered media environment. Harmony enhances the viewer’s peace of mind and invokes a sense of wellness: health food for the eyes and ears. It turns the television into an entirely new appliance – a digital spa!

Harmony Showcases Mindful Artists

Harmony specializes in showcasing the works of artists who are intent on making a difference in the lives of viewers. Ultimately, viewers will choose which videos play in the various MoodZones. Viewers are encouraged to support the artists and Harmony by purchasing DVDs, CDs and related merchandise from the MoodZones Store – www.moodzonesstore.com

Where is Harmony Channel Available?

Harmony Channel is now available on Comcast’s On Demand digital cable service! Look for us in the MUSIC category.

Harmony Channel will be delivering mood-elevating programming worldwide -- from mobile video to high-definition television to fulldome video (coming soon to your local planetarium) and beyond. Help us improve the mood of the world! Just let your cable provider know you want to soothe your soul with Harmony Channel. Then let your favorite spa or café, hotel and boutique know you’d like Harmony there, too!

Living in a Digital Age – Cognitive Overload and Stress

In this digital age, our senses are increasingly flooded with information and distractions from a wide variety of media. In the workplace we deal with a fast-paced environment fueled by instant worldwide information and communications. In public spaces we’re bombarded by digital signs and eye-grabbing information. And even in the sanctity of our homes, television vies for our attention with highly stimulating, information-rich programming.

These excessive demands on our senses contribute to cognitive overload, a state of constant distraction leading to chronic stress. According to the National Consumer’s League, over 80% of Americans report problems with stress, and 63% claim that their stress levels are rising. Job stress is estimated to cost U.S. industry over $300 billion annually, with 40% of job turnover attributable to stress. In the U.S. alone, over 50 million people suffer from sleep and relaxation disorders, according to Hypnion Research. Studies by the NIH and others have clearly shown that clinical stress can lead to serious health concerns.

Television’s purpose has been to inform, entertain and advertise. However the needs of our culture are changing. The trend in commercial television has been to attract viewers with ever more information, titillation, distractions and stimulation – the antithesis of what many of us most need.

People need to chill out!

Scientific studies have shown that the intentional use of music and visuals can uplift, heal, and produce desirable moods that counteract the effects of cognitive overload. Harmony Channel turns that new television set, home theater or HDTV that you just bought into a digital spa.

We Need Harmony!

Harmony Channel is a boldly different kind of network: we engineer programming that actually reduces stress and enhances wellness. Rather than providing information about stress reduction, Harmony Channel delivers entertaining, restorative experiences designed to leave people feeling energized, relaxed, romantic or refreshed.

The Healing Power of Music and Art

Music is scientifically proven to be a powerful mood-altering agent. Viewing natural scenes has also been shown to lower stress and increase mental alertness. Harmony Channel’s programming combines the mood-elevating properties of uplifting music with positive visionary art, compelling nature footage, computer animation and special effects, to create a powerful set of “digital pharmaceuticals” that intentionally alter mood in a variety of positive, desirable ways.

Sacred Geometry of Yantras

psytrancedancer — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 16:09:15 GMT

balancedbookspub.com/vastubook.htm

Learning about the alchemy and design of yantras will give you some insight into their purpose and power. Most yantras are composed of four design elements: circles, triangles, squares, and a central point. Each design element has a corresponding color and is associated with one of the energy centers in our bodies, with one of our five senses, and with one of the five elements in nature.

The CENTRAL POINT symbolizes the space element and corresponds to the colors blue and green. It represents the origin of individual consicousness at the point of union between the individual and the Divine. It is the point at which intention connects with cosmic energy to create form. The central point relates to the carotid plexus, or throat center, and is associated with the sense of hearing.

The CIRCLE (also sometimes shown as a six-pointed star, which is an inverted triangle superimposed over and upright triangle) represents the air element and corresponds to the colors green and blue. Sometimes the air elements is respresented by the symbol of a crescent, as well. The circle contains the central point and is also the expansion of that point. It is symbolic of individual consciousness and its expansion into Divine Consciousness. The circel is associated with the cardiac plexus, or heart center, and is connected to the sense of touch.

The UPWARD TRIANGLE symbolizes the fire element, and its corresponding colors are yellow and red. This triangle represents male Shiva energy. The triangle's three connecting lines point toward the sky. The horizontal line creates balance, and the two diagonal lines represent movement. The upward triangle draws your attention to the outer world of activity. It is associated with the solar plexus, or naval center, and with the sense of sight.

The DOWNWARD TRIANGLE represents the water element; its corresponding colors are orange and white. Sometimes the water element is also represented by the symbol of a crescent. In this position, the triangle respresents the feminine Shakti energy. It consists of of three connected lines: the horizontal line represents stability and the two diagonal lines represent movement. This triangle brings your attention to the inner world of feeling. The downward triangle is related to the hypogastric plexus, or sexual center, and is associated with the sense of taste.

The SQUARE is related to the earth element, and its corresponding colors are red and yellow. It is made up of four connected lines: two parallel vertical lines representing movement and two parallel horizontal lines representing stability. Together, these vertical and horizontal lines invoke balance. The square is connected to the pelvis plexus, or perineum center, and is associated to the sense of smell.

You can combine mantras and yantras by gazing on the sacred geometric patterns while chanting their corresponding mantras with heartfelt intention. Doing so, you will connect with the Divine Source from which all manifestation arises.

How to correctly display a Thangka painting

wmlaven — Sat, 23 Jul 2005 19:14:06 GMT

I just rec'd a beautiful Thangka painting as a birthday present. I have hung it in an "altar" in my home, but am wondering if there is a prefered way to tie off the cover cloth when I want to view it. The painting has two long ribbons which hang down the length of the painting and also a small loop of strong across the top of the painting and I'm sure one is to use them somehow. I've made a nice looking arrangement, but am wondering about the "traditional" way to hold up the cloth which otherwise covers and protects the painting when it is not being viewed. Instructions and/or web links would be appreciated (Google offered no help)

Meditating on avatars?

kanch_bud — Tue, 31 May 2005 15:58:58 GMT

Does anyone meditate on the avatars?

Do you use statues of Lord Krishna, the ubiquitous Lord Buddha, or Lord Jesus?

Do you close your eyes and visualise, or charge the image of the avatar with devotion, or do prostrations or sex magick or what???

How effective have others found this kind of visual meditation on gurus or spiritual teachers?

severe brain damage

dr-yo — Thu, 17 Feb 2005 04:35:48 GMT

Sometimes it is necessary to destroy in order to create.

I hope you enjoy my video art, but I must warn you in advance that some of my work employs brainwave-entrainment stroboscopic flicker at 7.5 Hz.

http://www.dr-yo.com/multi.html

I'm currently working on a piece that is much slower and has no flicker.

The Torch of Life

Mon, 20 Dec 2004 17:15:37 GMT

Hi Kin

Thanks for this space to share!

I would like to offer for your enjoyment The Torch of Life (I have just placed an image of the Torch in the image bank).

The Torch of Life on a physical level is a mandala, a circular work of art that can be used as a meditational focus. Its image defines and details the nature of its beingness and is an open door to the exploration of the fractal of all time now.

On a plane of pure consciousness the Torch of Life is a divine thoughtform, conceived by Spirit, which incarnated within the body of the mandala as living art. It is an emanation of the dream of Sprit for humanity to experience the highest potential of peace and collective harmony with all things and all beings. It affirms the divine nature of all, triggering humanity ’s transformation into the enlightened race of master beings that we ’ve always been. It is a flag of unification that declares “I AM Planetary Beingness. ”It is also a creative self-fulfilling prophecy of collective human enlightenment and World Peace.

The Torch of Life is an practical example of Runic Time Magic. It is consecrated to Humankind, Love, Unity, Paradise, Peace, Harmony, Compassion and Mother Earth.

It navigates time in harmony with the most ancient and advanced time science of our world. Functioning as a magnet for the manifestation of the highest dreams and aspirations of the human spirit. It represents all the most cherished dreams of our world in a state of wholeness, where pollution on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level is no more and the Earth is revealed in her full splendour.

Namaste
