the Calm Thoughts, which helps you to cross the bridge from the mind into your conscious living experience.
Component 3: Focus points
Each Calm Thought has a recommended location within or around your body on which to put your attention whenthinking it. With the addition of these focus points, the power of the Calm Thoughts is magnified significantly.
Focus points work in a number of ways. First, a few of the focus point locations sit within some of the well-known energy centres in your body called chakras. Known for centuries and taught in many traditions, chakra is a Sanskrit word translated as âwheelâ or âvortexâ. By placing your attention on these areas of your body while thinking the Calm Thoughts, you not only activate the energy vortexes more but also harness their power to actualize the positive intentions.
Those familiar with chakras may notice that some of the positive intentions and focus points donât link up with the traditional meanings or purpose of each chakra. This is intentional, as Mind Calm is a more modern way of meditating, which also aims to harness the power of the symbolic nature of the mind. The mind uses and responds to symbols. Therefore, giving the mind symbolic locations within the body to focus on makes the mind less likely to judge and resist the process.
For example, most people feel their emotions in their solar plexus area (which is located between the navel and the heart). So to think OM PEACE while focusing on the solar plexus - which is actually one of the Calm Thoughts - makes sense to your mind as that is the body area where most people would prefer to experience peace. By working in harmony with the symbolic nature of the mind, you can more easily create mind calm and, without such a busy mind, rediscover the still silent presence of your conscious awareness. But what about the other focus points, which donât sit within the known chakras? The same goes for these too. You will notice that these focus points are also inareas within or around your body that symbolically relate to the positive intention that the Calm Thought represents.
Despite this reasoning behind each Calm Thought, I encourage you not to get too caught up in the individual themes or theory behind how they might work. The most important part of Mind Calm is the way in which you use them. Before taking you through Mind Calm meditation in detail, hereâs a quick summary, so you can quickly see how simple and easy this form of meditation isâ¦
