Day two in Thailand , its a little cloudier but the sun shines so hot. Lucky I have the choice of three swimming pools set amongst tropical palms and red bouganvillia flowers. The chants of the mosque next door waft by. The big foreign cruise ship anchored out to sea has left , fed up by the pelting sudden thunderstorm late yesterday. I was caught in the rain and sheltered under the canopy of a little shopping mart, but enjoyed watching all the people scurrying with plastic bags on their head on motor bikes.
This week I am dedicating my time to talk about emotional healing . I am reading a fascinating boook by Robert Simmons PhD called ”Stones of the new consciousness”. I will give you a quote later that just sparked my thinking , I lit up like a light bulb.!
Anyway , what is the connection between CBT and emotional healing? Cognitive implies the workings of the mind and psychologists have long been adept at constructing theories about the mental activities to apply to behaviour change.
New information suggests that there is a need to shift from the brain to the heart to further the process of transformation. ” Heart consciousness is the “new” consciousness, but actually we have reverted or resurrected the “ancient” consciousness. Take for example , the worship of the Divine by devotees of Vishnu. This study in India, and now internationally is called Bhakti yoga, which means love of God. In Bhakti yoga, every thought every action has a central focus, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is how the mere street sweeper in India can find contentment in his life.
But what has this got to do with psychology?, For intelligent people, it is time to incorporate the spiritual into your daily lives to experience real fulfillment it seems. So many big materialistic entrepreneurs have come to a point of disillusionment from their endless achievement oriented and goal seeking ways. But the good news is that you don’t have to give it all up! Don’t chuck the Ferrari away just yet! you just have to appreciate the next level of soul awakening and then you will become expert at dovetailing all your talents, assets and behaviours to a higher more satisfying purpose.
signing off to go back to the pool, read and weep hehe
