Playground of the Mind where Thought is the Game
This picture was taken at a temple in Myanmar. The tour guide was showing us how to take pictures in an artist way. When I look at this picture, it reminds of some of the imagery I use during hypnosis – the playground of our minds.
Playground of the mind
Our brain is designed in such a way that it can’t actually differentiate between visualization and action. This is as powerful as it can get and people who make the most out of their lives and leave a mark behind, use this magnificent power to its fullest.
From the early years of evolution to the recent years of enormous scientific development and research, human beings have always been fascinated to dive deep into the journey of the mind – a ‘magical software’ that drives our emotions, feelings, and thoughts.
So much study has gone into the functions of our brains and how different parts of them are responsible for the different actions of our lives, that somewhere down the line, our mind has lost its due importance.
The brain and mind
It would be foolish of us to think that our brain is our mind and our mind is only what our brain is.
This is simply not true. While the brain is the fine organ of our body that helps us to process, store and recall all the information as needed, our mind is the force that enables us to think, perceive and react, not just with others but also with our own selves.
While our brain helps us to hear, to see, to respond, and express ourselves in communicable languages, our mind is the manifestation of what we see, what we hear, and what we think. Our mind is basically the awareness of our consciousness.
The power of our minds
The phrase “Change your mindset”, makes the above notion all the more true because we can definitely change our mind, as in, how we think or what we think about. However, no matter what we do, we cannot simply change our brain or exchange it with a wise being in order to get a share of his or her wisdom.
Whether we think about a dashing red car or a cherry tree in full bloom, the neurological processes in our brain that take place are all the same; but the former thought puts a dazzling set of wheels in front of our eyes while the latter fills our heart with a blissful breeze. This is the beauty of our minds.
Our mind does not only control what we think, it helps us understand the thought and then tells us why we should or should not go with that thought. Whatever our minds can conceive, we, as human beings, can achieve. Rather, the mind itself can achieve.
We can be as strict as a boss to our juniors, and at the same time, we can be extremely benevolent to a person in need. At home, we can be the friendliest parents that a child can get, and at the same time, when in a classroom, we can be the sternest teacher that any student ever wishes for.
So, the same person changes his or her mind to tend to the different relationships that they share with other people in the society. This is the most fascinating thing of our mind and the magical power of one of its many facets, which is thought.
From the most enlightened spiritual leaders of the world to the most successful materialistic leaders of this new age, the belief in ‘what we think, we become’ is more than consistent.
We all love to travel and see different places and get enriched by different experiences. Now, when we are stuck in the middle of a boring boardroom meeting or in a tedious college lecture that shows no sign of ending any time soon, our mind starts to wander right? The mind-boggling thing is - if at that exact moment we imagine ourselves relaxing in the blue waters of Hawaii or going on a silent walk in a forest trail, our brain imagines that, and instead of just sitting there and thinking, we are acting.
Whether we get touched gently by a wave or stay mesmerized looking at a stream without a name in the greens of the forest, the simple thought of it makes our brain believe we are taking part physically in that specific piece of action.
No need to offend your chairman or jump unnecessarily off the classroom chair to go to Hawaii. The power of your thought will transform your mind and you land up in Hawaii immediately. At least to your brain and in your mind, you are there!
The Mind is the Master
From here comes the power or beauty of positive thoughts; the power of belief. Irrespective of the field, if one is a leader or a stalwart in a specific field, this person has, probably, from his or her childhood, through the early formative years, right up to his or her adulthood, and even across the years of success, has always imagined her/himself sitting at the pinnacle. In that way, the whole mindset of that person gets changed because of conceiving this positive line of thought.
A person breathes that life of success, talks confidently, and walks in a commanding way that one does, when one is sure of the destination. In doing so, the mindset of the person changes early, the brain imitates these thoughts as actions and both consciously and subconsciously these thoughts get transformed into real-life actions. Ultimately when the time comes, undoubtedly with hard work and determination, he or she gets there and lives the life that s/he had always thought about.
Therefore, the mind is the master that molds us and at the end of the day, makes us. Our thought is the tool, with which, we can shape our minds and form our today, tomorrow, and the future.
