In this post, I am going to bring to light a few lucid dreaming facts that are not only interesting, but it will also tell you why this skill is a great advantage for someone interested in personal development.
Some of the best lucid dreaming books I ever read emphasized personal development more than all the other lucid dreaming benefits.
A person who has gained a lot of experience in conscious dreaming know well that lucid dreams can become a great tool for one’s improvement in a myriad of ways.
The initial craze of fulfilling various desires in dreams gradually fades away with time and one begins to realize that they can use their conscious dreams for greater purposes. Continue reading
One of the stupidest things I ever heard was that lucid dreaming is a sin. No wonder some people will go on to say or do anything to stop others for trying something new, but it really disappoints me when they use fear of god for this purpose.
I know that many people have used their religion to oppose lucid dreaming and I really don’t have any intention to argue with those who are strongly religious.
What I am going to discuss here are few simple and straight points that will tell you why the notion that conscious dreaming is a sin, is totally irrelevant. Continue reading
If you could access the infinite intelligence you will be able to receive solutions to all your problems and you will get the ideas that can make your dreams come true.
Take a look at the lives of most successful people and you will find that what changed the entire course of their journey is a particular idea or inspiration.
Some people think that these ideas are born within them, they fail to see the bigger purpose due to their egocentric approach and that’s why it doesn’t happen to them that frequently. Whereas some people know that there is a higher intelligence present everywhere which rewards people with the information that can bring forth something into the world to make a change and in the process their success is also ensured.
Creative people understand this well, there have been many writers and artists who have created their masterpiece from the inspiration they received in dreams which is one common way to tap into the higher intelligence. Continue reading
If you are interested in dreams, then you might have often wondered if it is possible to dream what you want because this way you can live your fantasies in the dream world.
Dreams are very much similar to reality because there also we feel emotions and sensations like in the real world. For example, when you get hit by a car you will feel the pain, when you cuddle your lover you will feel love, when you touch the fire your hands will burn, all this happens in your dream world exactly as it would be in your waking life.
Most importantly, sometimes what happens in your dreams will cause your body to react. Like, if you see a ghost in your dreams, your pulse rate and breathing rate rises as if you actually experienced that.
Till you wake up, dreams are your reality and that’s why you can do many things in dreams that are impossible in your real life. Continue reading
Since the day I first saw the movie “the secret” I have been on a very interesting journey which has taken me through various different phases of life and caused frequent changes of mindset.
I have been a super enthusiastic believer of the law of attraction, I have been to the skeptic side and I have also reached the place where I got into the state of flow manifesting things quickly, but none of those states lasted for long. However, I learned so many lessons which have helped me to understand that to alter your current reality you need to do some serious inner work.
Today, I don’t see this concept as a magical or unearthly thing which wasn’t familiar to us earlier, we have always obeyed the universal laws it’s just that we were not aware of what we were doing exactly. Continue reading
I don’t think any other practice comes close to the effectiveness and simplicity of mindfulness when it is about achieving the serenity of mind, that’s why I keep talking about it in my posts.
That was not a speculative statement, mindfulness has helped me to become an emotionally healthy person by pulling me out of depression. So, I really want you to understand that it is far better than any other technique especially because it’s easy and you can use it anytime, anywhere.
Mindfulness meditation is all about present moment awareness, using some simple methods you bring your attention to the NOW moment.
That may sound something simple, but it is very difficult to make your monkey mind focus on the present, the more aware you will become of your mind activities, the better your emotional state will get. Continue reading
Whenever I explore a new personal development program, I often get annoyed by the strategies they use to promote their products because many of them do it based on the very old myth that we use only 10 percent of our brains.
They use Albert Einstein as an example of a person who has used his brain more than others. What’s so astounding about all this is that they have got us to believe in it despite of the fact that no legitimate research work or study has backed up this speculation.
So, how much of the brain do we actually use? 100%!.. Come on, why would the rest of the brain part would even exist if we are not using it? And if that’s true then like appendix we can get it removed, ask those advertisers to prove their point by doing that.
Some very interesting movies have also used this particular conjecture as the basis of their whole plot. Limitless and Lucy are two well-known movies that were based on this concept.
I think such hypotheses is good for entertainment purpose, but when people use this as an instrument to give false hope to others, it becomes essential to dig deeper and find out the truth. Continue reading
In this post, I will talk on determinism and predeterminism in detail to shed light on the myths and facts associated to these belief systems. We will also see how quantum physics breakthroughs have invalidated many false theories that we humans have believed for years.
Such talks would only be welcomed by open-minded people because when it is about questioning the reality and existence of higher power, most people prefer to stay inside the prison created by their minds.
I won’t blame them because the ego needs convictions for survival and questioning your beliefs is like killing yourself because you will be a totally different person when your core beliefs change.
I went through such a transformation when I stopped believing in a God who has sent my soul in this world which he created and he’s sitting comfortably in someplace like heaven watching me and my actions every single moment.
My views are often liked by some people while strongly hated by others independent of how they are related to me. Continue reading
I am going to share my favorite lucid dreaming meditation method in this post because I strongly believe that it will also work for you.
This meditation will not only help you to become aware in your dreams, but it will also relax your body and mind, hence it will relieve you from any tiredness or stress that you might be carrying from your day.
The soundtracks containing binaural beats are indeed effective to help you in lucid dreaming, but I always prefer to avoid external aids when it is about getting into a deep relaxed state of mind.
I do use guided visualizations sometimes, but I am a little disinclined to the use of brainwave entrainment (I have talked about this in my post – Dangers of Using Binaural Beats), however, I won’t stop you from using binaural audios because I know that different people have different experiences with it.

In this post, I will be talking about a few techniques that will show you how to deal with constant rejection in any area of your life.
I would consider rejection a more dangerous thing than a speeding bullet because it weakens the self-esteem of an individual to an extent that it can make that person’s life a living hell.
But, the effect that rejection could have on you depends a lot on your psychological state because for an emotionally healthy person it won’t matter much.
We all have specific areas in our lives where we depend a lot on the opinions of others, this is what makes rejection such a deadly thing. So, our aim should be to shield our inner world from the external factors that troubles us. Continue reading
