Dear One,

One thing is for sure. We all get so very wrapped up in MY difficulties, MY challenges, MY dramas and MY losses that we can't see straight!

If you are like the rest of us, we get grabbed, blinded, smashed and crunched when some very powerful part of our mind gets triggered and switches onto autopilot. It punches us in the gut with "I shouldda said..." "He did it again..." "I'm losing everything..." Blood pressure rises; anger/guilt/fear/sadness wrestles us to the ground; stress hormones kick in to tear our bodies apart; and we get derailed yet again from living the kind, peaceful and prosperous life that we always hope we might get-one day!

"But that is what LIFE does to me!" you scream! "It's THEIR fault that I suffer." "I can't help all my bad karmas doing all that to me!"

Well, my Dear. There is an answer-a few actually. But let's start with the most obvious. When our minds get emotionally embroiled, we are not the victim of circumstances. No. Our conscious mind and emotions have become the victims of our own subconscious! Oh, yes! It is our habitual subconscious mind that is gumming up the works by screaming "Danger!" "You're no good," "They always do that to me!" And we actually believe it!

We are conditioned somehow to believe that all of our subconscious thoughts are really, really true and that they are describing REALITY in all of its objective glory! That's because it's MY reality and that is the way that I have always seen things. After all, just who would I be if I didn't react in all those same ways, and if I didn't experience all that pain and confusion that comes with these powerful mind tangles?

Now, here's the secret-if you are really interested in finding some peace, open space, and balanced judgment in your life, that is.

When you feel one of those "triggers" coming on, grab onto breathing really slow and deep-from your belly and keep it up. That breath is the very most amazing trigger de-fuser that I have ever come across!

And next-believe it or not, don't take your mind tangle, your mental tantrum personally!!

Instead of jumping head first into fully experience your subconscious' virtual reality drama, just watch it play out from a balcony seat-watching all the turmoil, the rage, the deflation, etc. that plays out, and it can be a doozie! But don't take it personally; don't make it your own this time. Don't even judge it, just watch. Let the whole thing play out, but keep up your slow deep breath. Consciously let your breath support you. Stay in the observer's seat while your breath brings you back to zero-calm, expansion.

If you do this every time that subconscious monster reaches up to consume you, I bet that over time, its strong power over you will change so that new, calm, healed realizations can come up instead; freedom will ensue; and then comes peace and wisdom-naturally. Next comes magically new and effective ways of acting without getting suckered in by your subconscious. Add a mantra (an electrical-charge changer) to your breath and you have an amazing recipe for baking up all the kindness, contentment and prosperity that you could ever "own."

Lots of Love,
Siri-Gian
