			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i><b>A characteristic of the modern age</b></i> is that even though we know we are connected to the big wide world at large, we usually live our lives in our own private little mental ecology with little thought to that big world out there. Our little internal world seems big enough &#8211; or is it that the outer world is just spooky enough that we cannot understand the concept of it all?</p>
<p>When it comes right down to it, it is a bit scary and overwhelming. At least inside our own heads, we can attend to things and not give it a second thought regarding the hows, the whys, the whens, or the wheres. It is all inside our head! Yes, the entire world contained within the space between one ear and the other.</p>
<p><i>How safe! What a relief!</i> Nothing else to consider but what information gets picked up by the senses and remains intact on its journey through our mental filters and conditioning. On both personal and cultural levels, this process resembles a factory of sorts: raw materials in and tidy, uniform products out. The products are destined for use in largely predefined and predicatable ways.</p>
<p><i><b>The modern collective mind is stuck</b></i> in the worldview of the industrial revolution. It&#8217;s really not how the mind itself and human culture were meant to be. It needs to be changed and the change needs to happen universally &#8211; the sooner the better. Yes, believe it or not, humanity really is destined for greatness in ways that we are only beginning to imagine and bring into being. How do we begin?</p>
<p><b>It starts with an ecology check on a basic personal level</b>. Put your gardening hat on and ask yourself the following questions:</p>
<p>* Where do you get your physical food &#8211; you know, the stuff you consume to nourish your body?</p>
<p>* Are you involved personally in the watering, feeding, and sheltering of the food you eat?</p>
<p>* Do you prepare this food yourself &#8211; do you clean, cook, and plate up your food in appealing ways prior to consuming it?</p>
<p>* When you consume your food, do you appreciate it &#8211; do you take note of its texture, aroma, taste, temperature, and other qualities that engage your senses?</p>
<p><i><b>If you are disengaged in any way with what you feed your body</b></i>, you are still living in the old way, the way of mass consumption with little or no personal consequences. You do not need to directly care for, prepare, or cook your own food to be aware. You simply need to be aware. It is in that awareness &#8211; and awareness always brings deep appreciation to the table &#8211; that your consciousness blossoms into its full potential. Awareness is the field of your creations. Water it with love and fertilize it with what it needs to be healthy. Appreciate the amazing bounty of its creations.</p>
<p><b>Next, do an ecology check of the mind.</b> As you examine the garden of your life, get in the habit of checking things out. Ask yourself these questions:</p>
<p>* Do your thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and values nurture yourself and those around you?</p>
<p>* Does your mental ecosystem promote your goals and dreams?</p>
<p>* How does your environment reflect your state of mind &#8211; is it messy and disorganized, comfortable and serene, open and friendly?</p>
<p>* Are your relations with others balanced and warm or problematic and cool?</p>
<p><i><b>If your mental ecology is not what you desire, dream about, or perceive</b></i>, you need to get your rows in order and think about what seeds you need to plant to have the garden you desire. The amazing thing about working with your own state of mind is that once positive steps are taken in any direction, the weeds of your consciousness wither and die. Nurturing oneself and others is natural. Simplicity and organization are natural. Balance and openness are natural. You are perfect just as you are. You can become even more miraculous if you give your mind a chance to grow into the full outer expression of its innately balanced inner beauty.</p>
<p><b>Understand that everything is spirit.</b> Get over it. Accept the fact that you are a multi-dimensional being existing both in time and space and beyond them. Your conscious mind is amazing but limited when compared to the subconscious. Your superconscious is most amazing of all, being limitless, eternal, and sacredly connected to all of that sublime somethingness that makes up the cosmos.</p>
<p>You do not need to believe in God or follow a particular philosophy or religion. The cosmos works just the same, no matter what you believe. But what you believe determines what you experience in this creation. Grow and nurture these flowers of belief well.</p>
<p>What does this mean, exactly? It means that you are a spiritual being having a human experience. Never forget that simple fact. It means that, to the extent that you practice good husbandry within your own personal ecosystem, you carry that wholesomeness into the world at large. Nurture the body, mind, and spirit and you bestow these blessings upon the world itself. Love yourself and everyone loves you. Appreciate the miraculous and miracles happen all around you everyday. Live your life this way and life itself will be your constant companion.</p>
<p><b>Green spirituality is a way of practicing sustainability with yourself and the world in general.</b> At this point in time, we all understand that the planet is in crisis &#8211; this despite the publicly professed opinions of a few diehards who have vested interests in asserting that it is not. Our planetary garden, so willing to become our Eden, is too dry, too wet, too hot, too cold, too stressed, too under-appreciated. Human lifestyles, especially in the West, still lend more credence to the idea that humanity is the demanding master of Mother Nature rather than her loving partner and steward. All of the earth suffers because of this attitude. It&#8217;s time for a change.</p>
<p><i>Pay attention!</i> Get back in tune with yourself and the planet in general. Tend your garden with conscious awareness and joy. When you find something that grows amazingly well, proclaim it to your friends and neighbors and encourage them to do the same. Learn to celebrate life rather than ignore it. If you&#8217;re overworked, take some time off to enjoy your family. If you need more money, think about what others lack that you have the skills and talents to supply. If you suffer from ill health or physical limitation, care for someone or something that needs but a good diet and a little love to express its vibrant well being.</p>
<p><b>It&#8217;s time to green the machine of our post-industrial way of life.</b> Green spirituality is natural, wholesome, cooperative, and efficient. Are you ready to plant some seeds?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first thing that you need to be really aware of is that your mind is full of clutter and that is one of the things that is stopping you from having the real effect of how to control your mind, and what you really need to do is to find a conducive place where you can really concentrate. This means that you would be able to focus on the matter at hand. One of the things that you need to realise is that the places that you are going to do these exercises are really very important.</p>
<p>So where you are is very important, and all you need to do is to be able to find a room that is well insulated from the outside world and some good mood lighting. The other thing that you need to do is to be able to control your breathing, and this is the most important thing as well. Breathing is the ability to be able to control the body and the mind and it really gives you the focus to be able to control your mind and listen to that still small voice inside.</p>
<p>So what you need to do is to be able to actually control your breathing to the point where you can actually achieve a rhythm, and you need to be able to have slow, deep breathing. The third thing you need to know is the power of smell, and how the nose can really help to relax your entire soul with the power of mind control. Smell allows you to actually relax as well, and you can think about buying some aromatherapy candles and even using the power of scents to help you out with mind control. Just place some candles and some of the scents all around the room; this will really help when it comes to this.</p>
<p>The fourth thing you might want to consider is that you would want to actually try and adding some music into the mix, and this is one of the best ways that you would be able to ride on the soothing sound waves and then from there, speak to your subconscious, The more relaxed you are, the more you are able to control your mind, and use messages to actually delete most of the bad aspects of the brain. And these are some of the things that will really help you with your mind control. The last thing you can think about is using established technology like popular ones like subliminal or brainwave entrainment.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, what you should be doing is simply using them on top of everything else. A combination of a good place, good smells, good sounds and good technology with brilliant breathing techniques is just the kind of things that you need to get to be able to achieve some serious mind control. How to control your mind is achieved in these five steps and you will soon realise a newer you.</p>
