I used to be stuck in traffic jams and roadblocks and waste hours of unproductive time driving, before the advent of Google maps. Now even if I know the route, I would look up the route options on Google Maps. It would show a few options, each with different journey time, the one using the expressway could be the quickest and also easiest. The second factor to help us put in lesser time and effort to reach the destination is the vehicle you use, if you have a more powerful and faster car it would require lesser hard work.
Now let us turn around the question to ask: Can I too find a way to exponentially increase the output or results from the efforts I put in? My answer is, yes. You too can switch onto the super expressway and use the best car to drive to huge success and fulfilment with the least required hard work.
The Google map for your life journey to the destination of huge success is Clarity of mind, and decisiveness, so that you choose the best path and these are available in your intuitive mind. The vehicle to use to go on this journey is the mental stance or paradigm or attitude that one holds. The attitude of gratitude is the most powerful and fastest vehicle to go on this journey.

What is the plus point of having a 3rd eye opened?
Opening up of the third eye is actually a metaphor used to imply the opening up of our intuitive mind. Our mind is a field of bioplasmic energy around our physical body made up of electromagnetic energy vibrations. Mind consists of five aspects and these are our Limbic mind, our Emotional mind, Our Logical / Analytical Mind, our Intuitive mind and our Aware mind. The Limbic mind contains the software programme that runs our body and all its inner activities automatically without us having to do anything consciously about it. The emotional mind contains all our emotional feelings such as happiness, sadness, shame, anger and fear. This is also somewhat automatic and we are not usually conscious of it because of our preoccupation with all that is happening in the Logical / Analytical mind. All the constant mental activity that we are habituated with and engage with seemingly effortlessly forms the loudest noise in our mind. We are distracted and engaged with this to the exclusion of all the remaining fields of energies in our mind. Our Intuitive mind has to ability to perceive that which is not reachable by our physical senses. The physical senses affect only the three lower minds namely the limbic, emotional and logical. Our higher mind consists of our Intuitive Mind and our Aware mind. These energy vibration are of lower frequency and therefore very subtle so it seems imperceptible due to the constant background noise in our mind as stated above. Opening up our third eye implies that something needs to be done to open that which is closed. This is not so. The intuitive mind is always open and active. To be able to start perceiving what arises in the intuitive mind therefore, we simply need to quieten our mind. Stop doing the constant mental engagement activity with all that arises in the moment and simply choose to be an accepting and allowing witness. This is the practice of meditation and as you cultivate a habit of being in this quiet state you will begin to notice the intuitive thoughts that also arise in your mind all the time. The intuitive sense perceptions become noticeable and you can say that the third eye is open. I offer mentoring support to guide participants through a journey within to open up their creative and intuitive minds.

Gratitude is not about saying thank you! For countless generations we all grew up to the admonitions such as “Be grateful, say thank you”. No wonder that we now universally believe that the only way to have gratitude is be able to say thank you. Most practices to cultivate an attitude of gratitude has one needing to express thanks to God or some higher power for basic things such as providing us with the air we breathe and the water we drink. This is of course a good practice and it does work, well at least most of the time it does! The important point to note is that for countless generations humans have recognised the benefits of having that attitude of gratitude. It benefits the one who says thank you in a deeper and more profound way than the one who receives the thanks. The only folly then is the notion that gratitude needs the other. You need someone to have given you something and to whom you can say thanks for you to feel grateful! I shall first deal with the benefits of Gratitude and then give you a better understanding of actually what is Gratitude and how to go about cultivating a default state of gratefulness. The original Positive Attitude is; Gratitude. When you have gratitude, you begin to experience an almost magical life of synchronicity and flow rather than one of chaos and hurdles. We start to emit a glow of radiance and joy when gratitude is deeply cultivated in us. Even the physical body seems to become healthier, fitter, sleep better. Gratitude also improves your mental health and fosters better relationships. Just Google “Benefits of gratitude” and you can read about scientific research findings on this. What then is Gratitude? Gratitude is a state of mind, it is a mindset, a paradigm, a stance, a back of the mind being thing rather than an action oriented one or a doing such as saying thank you. In fact the state of being grateful is already the default state of being for all human beings! At the core of our being, we are already grateful. When we are born, we are already grateful and we keep shining with radiance and joy; just see the face of a tiny baby to know this as a fact! To cultivate a default state of gratitude therefore, we need to learn to stop doing something rather than learn to do something. How then do we cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude? By learning to stop being distracted and carried away by our thoughts all the time. Just for a moment stop engaging with the thoughts in your thinking mind and look around and notice. The simple act of noticing what is, in the here and now and then following it up with acknowledging that which we notice, is all that is needed to open that lock on our hearts allowing the energy of gratitude to flow out and fill you up. If you look around to see what is in the here and now and notice that there is a threat, a problem, an opportunity, a foreboding, a bad feeling, a good feeling, etc it doesn’t work because you are still trapped within your thoughts and emotions and are unable to notice the simplicity of this moment in the here and now. Instead you can notice all of the above and say: * That your thinking mind is here- in the here and now and there are emerging thoughts about wants and don’t-wants in the thinking mind. * You can notice your feeling-emotional mind is here in the here and now and there are emerging emotions of likes and dislikes occurring in it. * You can notice your sensing body is here and painful or pleasurable sensations are emerging in it right now. This just says that life is in the here and now in its multidimensional, phenomenal panorama within us and all round us. This observation is a disengaged observation of the reality of what is rather than what appears to be and it takes us back to our core state of gratitude. On a day to day routine basis, it would further help to just pause and notice simple little things around us and acknowledge them: * Simple acknowledgement of the air around me, * The ability of breathing within me and the presence of oxygen in the air that sustains the life within me, gets me instantly back into the state of gratefulness. * You can notice the clothes on your body, * The furniture on which you are sitting, * The roof over your head, * The device on which you are reading this, * Your eyesight, * The possession of language skills that enable you to read this, anything. Just notice what is in the here and now or in other words just acknowledge the ISNESS of this moment. Gratitude as a state of being and requires consistent coming back to. The Guided Meditation audio linked below helps you foster your new habit of being in a state of gratitude all the time to experience and enjoy a radiant joyful life of synchronicity and flow.
