What do you think of when you think of a hero? A man in blue and red tights who flies around saving the world?
Sure, Superman is a hero. But we don’t need to have super powers to be a hero. All we need is our conscience and the integrity and courage to follow it. And we all have that embedded in our natural energy state.
Unfortunately, we don’t always exhibit these characteristics that are simply a part of being human. Sometimes, instead, we find ourselves sick, despondent, and/or afraid. Our habits and circumstances may have left us too weak or unmotivated to reveal our hero qualities. However, we don’t have to stay that way.
If we believe we can change, the way we were in the past or the way we are now doesn’t matter because our brains have a “Brain Operating System” (BOS). According to the rules by which our BOS functions:
1. If we choose it, it will happen.
2. Giving ourselves positive messages will change our brain for the better.
3. So wake up and pay attention!
The first thing we need to do to choose to change from sick, despondent, and afraid to courageous, proactive, and compassionate is give ourselves energy. We can use breathing and meditation, especially active meditations such as yoga, tai chi, and qi gong, to fill up our chakras—our body’s energy tanks.
The next thing we need to do is listen to what our conscience is telling us and act on what it says right away. The more we do this, the more power and courage we will get, creating a snowball effect. Soon our higher selves will grow so big we’ll be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!
