10 Common Indicators of Your Progress-Spiritual Awakening Signs

When you get inclined towards spirituality you naturally get curious about your progress in that path and that’s why I am going discuss a few signs and symptoms of spiritual awakening using which you can know where you have reached in your journey.

For me, it used to be a very dominant thought in mind and still it bothers me sometimes that if I am actually going anywhere with all these spiritual knowledge and practices or am I still standing at the juncture from where I began?

Then I started to realize that the simplest way to know about spiritual progress is as Ramana Maharshi puts it “the degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress”, obviously I am not able to free myself from the unwanted thoughts at present but I know that I am making headway from my ability to discern whenever I am thinking unnecessarily far better than before.

Photographic Memory or Eidetic Memory

In simple words, photographic memory could be described as an ability to recall things in form of images with all details.

Actually we all think in images, on a conscious level we might not be able to discern that always but with a little awareness you can know that whenever we are thinking or recalling we are doing it in form of images.

If I say “fire” you will immediately see an image of fire in your mind that’s how our thinking mechanism works.

So, when we all try to recall things from past, sometimes we get vivid pictures in mind and sometimes we see distorted images and that is what differentiates a person having a strong memory with the one who has weak memory. The reason behind this actually depends on many factors like a person’s attentiveness, their practice in recalling, confidence etc. which is all related to only one thing and that is their conscious mind’s rapport with their subconscious mind.

Simple Tips for Dealing with Multiple False Awakenings

For a very long time, I have been troubled by multiple false awakenings but, eventually I figured out a few ways to deal with them and I am going share it with you here.

I am well familiar with that dreadful feeling when you can’t find a way to escape from the chain of annoying dreams that tells you that you have woke up but then again you find that you are still dreaming.

Mostly when I experienced false awakenings it was when I slept during day time but, people experience it in the usual hours of night sleep as well.

About 4-5 years ago, when I was too interested in lucid dreaming, false awakenings and sleep paralysis became usual for me.

In dreams, I used to get up in the same room where I slept so it was often too difficult to detect that if I was still dreaming or not but, what troubled me the most was helplessness of not being able to wake up despite of knowing that it is a dream.

More than 5 false awakenings(I have had 14+) one after another could be very frustrating that you might start to hate your sleep hours but fortunately there are ways using which you can regain your peaceful sleeps. Continue reading

Train Your Photographic Memory-Retain More Information

This post will provide you a few tips that will help you to train your photographic memory so that you can remember things better than before.

First of all, let me answer a very common question – Is there really something  like photographic memory?

Yes, there is and we can make use of it in various ways to improve ourselves in many areas of our lives.

Photographic memory is actually an ability to store and recall things in visual forms.

In fact, we actually store information in form of images only but, since the process is very fast we are not able to consciously realize it.

For example – If we hear numbers “09675” our mind stores that as an image, it could be the whole picture “09675” or every number individual “0”,”9” etc. etc. in sequence.

So, once we understand the importance of remembering in images we can then practice and develop photographic memory. Continue reading
