Anger can be a a great tool to give us energy to manifest change. But just like fire, which can cook a wonderful meal or burn down the house, anger can also destroy us.

No one criticizes us more than our own mind. And worst of all we do not even know that we are doing it. Most thoughts when we are not engaged are mental repetition. These thoughts are in the background. They come from our subconscious mind.

Compassion connects us to others and brings our innate natural nurturing feeling to the surface. We feel fulfilled when we help our fellow man. We want to be connected to our world. Compassion is when we give without expecting anything in return, when we are kind just to be so. Compassion takes us to a feeling that we are all one. Life with compassion takes on meaning and purpose.  

The alpha state of mind activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Therefore, if we want health of body and mind, we need to bring our mind into alpha states. We can live our life in an alpha state. It is called mindfulness.

It would be wonderful if we could accept who we are without self-criticism. There seems to be a corner of the mind that has an unstoppable record player that keeps repeating the same sentences. “I am not good enough, I am too tall, too short, too fat, too stupid, too whatever.” Very rarely does it repeat “I am smart, I am healthy, I am abundant, I am happy, I am amazing.” No one criticizes us more than our own mind. And worst of all we do not even know that we are doing it.
