Tapping Into The Biocentric Universe Through Mindfulness

When asked to describe what their elevated, enlightened experiences feel like, the world’s greatest spiritual leaders often describe it as a sense of wholeness and unity. Through rigorous meditation or prayer, the individual self dissipates, and is replaced with a sense that the soul is boundless and abundant.
How do we access this important gift that the universe has given us? This understanding that we are an integral, ceaseless manifestation of its energy?
Biocentric Theory
Biocentric theory has finally bridged the gap between science and spirituality. Using physics, biocentric theory rightly supposes that because each person is made up of vast multitudes- an infinite amount of atoms with a common origin- we are made of pure energy. We are essentially timeless.
Yet in spite of this incredible fact, we don’t feel eternal. As conscious beings, we are constantly projecting our hopes and expectations into the future, and comparing it to our dissatisfactory past or present. This creates a cycle of suffering that includes feelings of intense anxiety and lack.
So how do we actually begin to feel like the energetic, boundless beings that we are? How do we end this cycle of suffering?
Mindfulness and Buddhist Emptiness
We can end our suffering through mindfulness. With mindfulness, we cease to make judgments about the past, present or future, which in turn leads to a sense of acceptance that things simply are. This feeling is associated with the Buddhist concept of emptiness, in which all the inflated values we place on certain objects or events in our life suddenly lose their power when compared to the grand scheme of things. Far from having a nihilistic outlook, we start to see how our mind is what creates our reality. We can alter that reality so that we feel empowered, rather than despairing or anxious.
Through mindfulness and meditation we FINALLY understand that our consciousness is just one manifestation of energy in the universe. That we are not only connected to all other energetic beings, but that the eternal nature of our selves gives us free reign. Our burdens are lifted, and we’re at liberty to participate in the world with no strings attached. We are an extension of the universe, a perfectly-ordered part of a greater whole.
My purpose in life is to guide others toward that sense of wholeness, abundance, and positive energy. On my Youtube channel, I offer weekly videos on how to achieve mindfulness in your everyday life, so that you too can reap its spiritual benefits. I recommend that you follow me for access to these life-changing exercises… and let me know how they’ve altered your perspective!
Feel free to contact me as well if you’re interested in learning more about biocentric theory, mindfulness, and achieving the abundance you so deserve.
The vast majority of people have unfortunately never accessed this transformative human ability because they haven’t made mindfulness meditation or prayer a significant part of their routine. You have probably experienced it yourself- the feelings of lack, frustration, indecision, and anxiety that plagues nearly all human beings, no matter their everyday life status. For the average person, the grass will always be greener… but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Rock A Bye Baby

Have you ever noticed how quickly a child falls asleep? You pick them up, hold them close, and gently rock them and a short time later they are fast asleep. Don’t you wish sleep could come that easy for you? But, with the stress of work, finances, interpersonal relationships, etc climbing into bed tends to be the place where our minds are the most active. But, it doesn’t have to be that way!
New research out of Geneva, Switzerland shows that gentle rocking can also be beneficial to adults as they prepare for rest. Just think about it. Have you ever been in a hammock, a rocking chair, or drifting around on a raft in a pool and found the gentle swaying motion soothing enough to put you to sleep? The same principle was applied in this study, which involved subjects taking two 45 minute naps, one on a stationary bed and the second on a bed that mimics the motion of rocking. The study concluded that people fall asleep much faster when gently rocked and also move more quickly between Stage 1 and Stage 2 of sleep (the stage where you are less likely to be awakened by external actions and sounds). So, what does this all mean? 
It means that a gentle rocking motion allows your brain to synchronize for sleep much quicker, fall asleep faster, and possibly have a longer, more restful sleep. But, don’t throw away your bed and go buy a hammock just yet! Try employing your imagination. It is an effective tool that doesn’t cost a thing and can be employed immediately! When you go to bed this evening, try visualizing yourself swaying in that hammock or lazily drifting in that raft. Try to engage all of your senses, hear the waves, smell the salt breeze, feel the sun on your body, etc. This method has proven extremely effective for relaxation and in freeing the mind enough to fall asleep. 
Still having trouble? Sometimes the everyday pressures of life don’t allow us to turn our mind off, which hampers the sleep process. And some people may find the act of visualization challenging. Reach out and we can discuss some of the blockages that may be hindering your rest and get you on the path to good night’s sleep.
