Stop Your Thoughts From Spinning Out of Control
When you find yourself spinning round and round, it is your mind that is on overdrive. This may or may not be replicated in the body but nonetheless you are spinning out of control. This is not a judgment but rather a way to understand how the mind can just simply exhaust us by taking us in circles of thoughts that lead to more thoughts and lead to more thoughts. When we recognize this pattern, we can just stop it—by finding our center, not the center of our mind but being centered in spirit. This is ultimately a place of no thought. When you touch this center point, thoughts begin to dissipate leaving you with a peace that comes from being still inside. From this still point comes the wisdom that you seek. It is not arrived at logically, mentally or physically but must be found energetically. This is the way.
To be centered in your self is to be completely present. This means you bring 100 percent of your energy here, in the now, which is the most powerful place to be. Without the right tool, this can almost seem impossible to achieve. You may be present for one moment, and then the next moment you are thinking about that meeting you have to attend later today. When you are thinking about the future or thinking about the past, you are not in the present. The result is, your energy is dispersed. Whatever you are doing in the moment takes more time, energy, and focus because you are not centered. This tool has been revolutionary for many of my clients. The results they get from being present are not only key for more clarity, focus, and attention, but without it, they were literally missing large portions of their lives.
Centering: Four Steps to Find Your Center
1. Imagine what the center of the earth looks like to you. It could look like a solid ball of rock, a crystal, or anything that you imagine to be a strong anchor for you.
2. Next, visualize and/or feel a strong, sturdy tree trunk with a beam of white light in the center. Let this beautiful tree trunk encompass your entire rib cage, front-to-back and side-to-side.
3. See this tree going all the way down through your physical body, through the floor, and through all the layers of the earth.
4. Let the roots of the tree wrap around the center of the earth, what you imagine to be your anchor, several times, connecting you to the healing energy of the planet.
Continue visualizing and/or feeling this tree connecting you, rooting you, and grounding you until you have the sensation of being grounded and rooted in present-time.
