CHAPTER SIX

Mind Emptying – Comfort James

Mind emptying is the process of emptying the mind... The definition may sound basic but the basic things can bring about outstanding results...

Change is a constant thing, it is something our world is specially designed with. Things change every day and man's judgment can be beclouded along the line. The factors that play out in this situation can however be controlled irrespective. It is also imperative to mention that it can be difficult to think or remember "control" when the heat becomes unbearable.

Mind emptying is a very simple process that requires a conscious effort and unfailing determination. As much as possible, you should try to utilize the power behind the 95℅ of the things that happen at the unconscious level. Different thoughts with emotional baggage can come to you unconsciously and you must become a master at filtering them; delete what doesn’t motivate you and accept what does.

Mind emptying works well every time of the day but to begin, try sticking to practicing it Three times a day like a standard Three-square meal.

In the morning, tell yourself words of affirmation. For example, "This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it"

What you say must make its abode in your subconscious. If you have to repeat more than once, go ahead!

Having done a superb opening of the day, take a break around noon, take stock of how the day has been so far. Call to mind what you declared in the morning and REFRESH.

In the evening, be thankful for the day and go through the process of emptying the mind by speaking again.

One thing is common in the Three times daily task here: VOICE ACTIVATION.

The "how" of mind emptying

1. Ask yourself, “What are my thinking about?” If you can answer this question, you have the key. The next thing to do is to turn the ignition. You can write your "thoughts" down if you need to. After this, cancel out unimportant things or thoughts (what doesn’t motivate you). During this process, especially during cancellation, please ensure you do not cancel out the place of resolving a conflict if you have that pending. It has a huge impact on your peace first and then that of the other party or parties.
2. Having canceled out the unimportant/unnecessary/the demoralizing thought(s), think about something that makes you happy or someone that brings a curve to your lips when you think about him/her. Focus, the objective is to cause the good thought(s) to overshadow the wrong. Don't let it fade too soon. You'd get to a point where the unpleasant thought(s) won’t be as intense as it was. At this point you know you've prevailed. After this, breathe before letting the good thought(s) rest. Remember you're going through a process of mind emptying.
3. Another strategy is talking to someone. A whole lot can happen when people don't or can't find someone to confide in. If you do find someone at the point of being overwhelmed, go ahead and pour it all out. Just having someone to listen to you brings relief. If the person you talk to reasons with you, mind emptying will take place. Pouring yourself out to someone requires a process called “evaluation”. Your inner witness should confirm or approve of the person. Don't just go ahead and share without settling this within you first. This is the more reason why we have different strategies of mind emptying.
4. Meditation: this is the process of musing over something... Meditation is one key strategy when it comes to mind emptying. What do you need to muse over? The right, the good, the pleasant. The process of deletion also takes place here because you are trying to get rid of things that are taking up space in your head in order for the right things to come in to stay.

Practical examples of things to delete: heart break, unforgiveness, stress, worry, information overload...

It's very possible to overcome just about anything worth overcoming. Focus, picture the change you desire and SPEAK!!! You are lord over what you control.... It can be quite difficult to stay focused when you're going through certain things that should be deleted (for example heart break). Meditation is like a balm you apply occasionally to that part of your bones that hurt in the case of a bone injury. Nobody says it would be easy all through life but when and if these things as the aforementioned pop up, take the process and create your own change!!!

5. Do things that bring relief. For example, listen to music, see a movie, and hang out with friends for a good cause. These gets those detox out of the way.

Why is mind emptying necessary? A simple answer is: you need SPACE for things that matter!!!
