Our thoughts are powerful — all of them
Do you know what your mind is? What are your thoughts? Can you take charge of your thoughts? When do your thoughts take charge of you?
I remember a discussion in one of my graduate school classes. It was based on the following: ”I have a body, but I am not my body; I have feelings, but I am not my feelings; I have a mind, but I am not my mind.” Those of you who have been paying attention to the Law of Attraction will be especially interested in this.
This statement was an effort on the part of Psychosynthesis to help us realize we can observe our own thoughts, feelings and body. At the same time we are whole, inseparable. You have the ability to take charge of your thoughts. It is being aware of what your subconscious thoughts are that is key.
The mind can be discussed as having two components: the conscious and the sub-conscious (meaning everything that is not so conscious). We could certainly go into that in far more depth but for now this works.
Your conscious mind is what you are aware of right now. It is a very small portion of what is actually going on in your mind. It is also much slower in operating than the subconscious. Your conscious mind is the thought that you are focusing on now.
Your subconscious contains all that keeps your body operating. A child consciously learns to walk and then it becomes part of the subconscious. Unless you have a disability, you do not have to think each move through before moving.
Your subconscious also contains stored information that your child mind took in (with child interpretations) maybe even before the age of seven. The child’s mind often misinterpreted situations and comments. After all, it was only a child with minimal life experience.
Learning what is stored in your subconscious takes work. It is not something that some magical formula can fix. Working on those beliefs that came from our early years is an important part of using the Law of Attraction.
This information is important to keep in mind when reading, listening to speakers, choosing someone to guide your process and ultimately using intentions and affirmations to attract what you want in your life.
Who you are is just perfect. You are loved, lovable and loving,
Enjoy the beauty of your day

Small Steps To a Fuller Life: 4 Thursday evenings in November
Facilitator: Marie Knapp
Every moment is an opportunity for new possibilities.
Taking charge of your life begins with a mind set. You can actually make changes or advancements in your life by changing your thinking patterns. Every moment is an opportunity for new possibilities. So where do you start?
Are you relatively new in understanding how your thoughts affect you? Would you like to have a deeper understanding of
- the power of your thoughts.
- the nature of your mind and your feelings
- how you can make every day a little bit better
- what it means, actually feels like, to be centred, and open
In this 4-evening seminar you will learn about the little things in every day life that can influence how your day goes and some quick and easy ways to improve the quality of your day, living life more fully.
You will be guided through some experiences to help you become more aware of how you can make wiser decisions.
One of the most important things you will notice is that what you allow your mind to dwell on, really does make a difference and you are the gate keeper.
You will leave with some customized and adaptable small steps to change or enhance your life. This is an opportunity for you to start a process that may give you the support you need to make life more interesting and enjoyable, — more balanced. For those approaching or in the early stages of life transitions such as retirement, or family life changes, consider this a starting point to moving forward. If you feel life is “same old, same old”, this may just give you the sense of direction you need to change that.
Location: In Owen Sound. Location depends on number attending.
Investment: $120 for four Thursday evenings in November.
The sessions will be offered Nov 5, 12, 19 and 26 from 7:15 till 9:30. Minimum 10 people required to run. So share the information and get family or friends to join this with you. The cost includes materials and a light snack.
