We live in a constant state of change. Many people are calling it The New Normal because it’s now become normal for things to no longer be normal.

Some changes are significant and some aren’t. Some changes are obvious and some are inconspicuous-at least at first. Whether it’s in our business and career or in our family and home, we need to understand and anticipate-as best we can-what change will mean for us.

There are two simple questions that can help us navigate these waters.

1. What’s different from what used to be?

2. What’s still the same?

We have a natural tendency to think things are still the way they were. And they usually aren’t.

It’s easy to get blindsided by something that changed politically, environmentally, socially and culturally. We might have known about the change, but we might not have thought it through to see what the impact would be on us, our business, our family, our finances and our health.

Take a few moments when you can think quietly and answer the two questions above. Dig deep. Think globally as well as locally.

This is not a time to judge what’s changed or not changed. It’s simply a time to notice and record what you notice.

When you’ve done this, ask yourself how each thing that’s changed has affected you and the various aspects of your life-all the things you care about. How does it affect you? DOES it affect you? How MIGHT it affect you? If the things that have remained the same continue to remain the same, will they be helpful or not? I believe that the greatest lever for change is awareness.

My best sense is that the masses of people don’t practice this. And they end up surprised, bewildered and angry.

But as you enter into this practice and do it intentionally over a period of time, you’ll find yourself automatically thinking about change and events and how they will likely affect your world.

You will make more and finer distinctions. You will become more aware, wiser, more resourceful-and better able to cope with and exploit change. And that will be different.

A commercial for the United Negro College Fund which aired frequently in the’80s used the slogan ‘the mind is a terrible thing to waste’. We’re not talking about college educations here today, but this is a slogan which is absolutely true. Your mind has lot more power than you might think; and the power of the mind is indeed a terrible thing to waste. When you can access the power your mind contains, you can use it to change the world around you for the better.

Even if you haven’t seen the film or read the book, it’s all but certain that you know of the book The Secret or about the law of attraction, the most important idea of the book and film. The idea is that when you focus your mind on something, it attracts it to you. You don’t even have to be expending mental energy on this goal consciously in order for this effect to work.

One prime example of the efficacy of this idea is what is called the placebo effect. This is named for the clinical trials which use placebos for the control group while giving the actual medication to the other. Both groups think they’re getting the medication, so both often believe them to be experiencing the effects that have been described to them.

You’ve no doubt seen the effect in your own life as well. For instance, you’ve no doubt woken up thinking that a particular day isn’t going to be a good one. It shouldn’t really be too much of a surprise when these days turn out not to be among your favorites. It has to do with the power of your mind – when you think a day is going to be a bad (or a great one) then your subconscious has the ability to make this happen.

The scientific evidence is starting to point towards the idea that there is a scientific basis for the power of the mind as well. One which is particularly intriguing is that matter exists only when there is an observer there to describe it (or rather, matter may be in one of several possible states until it is observed – or all of them at once). What this means is that human beings may be able to exert much more influence on their surroundings than has been previously thought.

Many scientists now believe that many things which we think of as supernatural are in fact explainable through hard science, although we’re only beginning to understand just how it is that telepathy, ESP and other mental phenomena work.

Even though you may not have really thought about it too much yet, the power of your mind can be the key to changing your life for the better. If you could use the power of your mind to make the universe work with you rather than against you, wouldn’t you want to learn how? Keep reading for some techniques which can help you to access your own mental potential to achieve your goals in life.

The first step is to have a goal; this has to be a specific, rather than a general goal. Instead of thinking ‘I want to be rich’, think ‘I want three million dollars’. Having a specific goal makes it easier for you to focus your mental energies on achieving your objective. Learning to focus is the key here; most of the time, you may have dozens of different thoughts going on at once.

There are people who already know how powerful the mind is and put their mental energy into the achievement of their goals. They focus on specific objectives and put all of their efforts towards their objective, using the full power of the mind. This is what makes it happen; it’s more difficult than it sounds on paper, but it’s something that all of us can achieve if we put our minds to it.

When you learn to control this power of the mind, you can use it to make changes in your world; in fact, you can make almost anything you can imagine a reality. Let’s say that you want to buy a particular house. You put all of your mental energy into it, imagining even the small details like the color you want to paint the rec room. You start expending effort into areas that will help you to achieve your goal (like working more so you can save up the down payment) and research how to get favorable mortgage terms.

By focusing on this goal and putting your mental energy towards your objective, you can make it happen – don’t be too surprised when your dream home goes on the market and your offer is accepted; and you even get just the right mortgage. It is the power of the mind which has made this come about, not simply good luck.

Every one of us can do this. It’s just a matter of understanding your own inherent abilities and believing in the power of the mind to achieve the things you want out of life. Start with a small goal and you can work from there to accomplish ever greater things.

Only 25% of people today, believe in reincarnation. With such a low percentage believing, that does not mean that it doesn’t exist. Do you have talents, or connections with something and you really have no idea why or where it came from? There are certain things in our lives that we wonder where the connection stems from but we have no reason that we can come up with. Perhaps it was something that was important to you in your past life.

Many people miss the opportunity or over look the validity and lose the chance to truly grow as a person. They never learn who they are today and why they are that way. You can hinder your own success or achievement by not getting in touch with who you were in those past lives.

Extensive research has shown that past life regression for people with emotional problems has been a very powerful tool in helping them overcome issues.

The most common advantage of past life regression is being able to clear trauma in their lives and promote healing. When people encounter trauma there are two obvious choices that can be made. You can either run, or you can face it to fix it. If you believe in past life regression, you will have an additional option. You can rescue your past self and help them to be successful with dealing with the trauma. The trauma can be viewed by the Higher Self.

You can contact your creative side through past life regression. Everyone has a mix of talents and attributes that help them to make decisions over other choices. Through a past life regression you can reach into your past lives and bring those attributes out to act like an inner guide.

We don’t want bad karma coming back to us, but karma always does. With past life regression we can revisit a past life in which we created or banded a contract or agreement that is now bringing us issues in this life. We can with the help of an inner guide, modify it or rewrite this contract to unbind us from what is holding us down in that life, and heal today.

Grounding and affirming yourself is a huge benefit of going through past life regression.

It’s not unheard of from those who use past life regression to become more grounded, and feel more aware of who they are and why they are the person they are, today. This is because they realize where their specific talents, characteristics, passions, desires, and connections come from. This knowledge is powerful and helps them to embrace who they are as a person, and achieve a more balanced life.

Experts in this field will agree, that if a person truly wants to improve or enhance their own lives, they need to practice past life regression. This will help you remember who you were in your past life and teach you how to be more fulfilled this time.

You currently may think that your thoughts and feelings of events are just figments of your imagination. You need to open your mind, take down the walls that are blocking you from successfully reaching what you want out of this life.

A quick recap of what was mentioned is that through the benefits of past life regression, you can deal with traumatic events from the past so that they don’t bind you in your personal life today. Dealing with them from your past life will help you live a better equipped life for dealing with decisions you need to make today.

They say history repeats itself. There is truth to that, but if you know the history, you can use it to change your personal life so that it doesn’t repeat. You can get more out of life today, by learning about what happened in the past. If you were once dishonest in your past life and were punished for it, you can steer clear from that today and improve who you are.

Most importantly through past life regression you will have a better understanding of why you act the way you do today and exactly who you are and what made you that way. You can be successful and well rounded in life, living your life to it’s fullest potential by taking advantage of all the skills and talents you once had.
