Mind Center (activated): Ability to Imagine Potentials
Resiliency Keys
Through my Mind Center, I’ll experience and explore one of the two resiliency keys that build on the previous six keys: decisiveness. Self-trust is also a key themes in Mind Gates.
About the Mind Center
The Mind is the Center that regulates concrete thinking. In the Mind, I process information and inspiration and turn them into possibilities and into potentially actionable thoughts. The Mind is also where I store information, beliefs, and memories.
The Mind translates the sparks received in the Inspiration Center into the different ways that I might organize my creative sparks into action.
Again, just like with the Inspiration Center, I’m generating concrete possibilities, but I’m not designed to then turn these possibilities into action. Time and awareness will let me know when I can act on my ideas. My beliefs and memories will influence how I translate inspiration into ideas.
My Activated Mind Center
The activated Mind has the ability to hold on to fixed ideas and beliefs. Having an activated Mind means that I’m also probably good at remembering things.
CHALLENGE: The activated Mind can sometimes be fixed or rigid in its way of thinking. Because I can hold on to fixed ideas or belief systems, when I have an activated Mind, people can sometimes “butt heads” with me.
My fixed way of thinking and my capacity to hold onto information is my strength. This can make it easy for me to be certain about thoughts and ideas. Sometimes with the activated Mind, it’s hard to see ideas from different angles and I need help to see new perspectives and possibilities. It can be hard to change my mind when my Mind is activated so remembering to open my mind and really hear other people’s point of view is essential to helping me be more receptive to new ideas.
I can also sometimes have a hard time changing my mind if I have a “negative” mindset or beliefs about myself that aren’t supportive or self-generous. I might need extra support and care to change my mind about my beliefs, until I install new beliefs that are healthier and more self-loving.
Once I’ve decided to take on more constructive beliefs, I’ll have an easier time making them “stick” than people with receptive Minds. This change also means I’ll be generating more constructive signals for receptive Minds to pick up on and amplify (because receptive Minds around me will pick up on my thoughts, even if I don’t speak them).
Purpose of the Activated Mind
• The ability to conceptualize and hold onto fixed visions
Novice Expression of the Activated Mind
• Being locked in negative thought patterns that are fixed and minimizing
• Closed-mindedness
Lessons/Challenges
• To learn to use the power of the mind to expand on possibilities and potentials
• To hold a vision that is creative and expansive
Wisdom and Optimal Expression of the Activated Mind

Affirmations for Wise Expression
• I am gentle with my thinking and always remember that there are many ways to think about information.
• I am uniquely capable of being certain.
• I listen carefully to the thoughts of others and allow for limitless thinking with grace.
• I use my thinking as a spark that ignites possibility.
• I repeat and focus on the ideas and thoughts that create expansion and increase potential in my life.
• My mindset is open.
• My beliefs support my growth and reflect the value of who I am and what I’m capable of.
Sound frequencies: listening while meditating on affirmations (or simply repeating them) can help with finding balance and healing.
• For the Mind
• For cultivating my sense of decisiveness
Clearing old beliefs/stories that are holding me back
• Decisiveness
Contemplations:
-
- Have I experienced pain, dis-ease, or dysfunction associated with my sinuses, eyes/vision, mouth, teeth, face, and/or pituitary gland? What about headaches, head injuries, and/or mental health issues? If so, what could my body be trying to tell me? What story about myself and/or my life could my body be holding?
(I can revisit this question in the future if new health/body issues develop.) - Are my beliefs serving my highest good?
- What do I need to do to cultivate a more loving and kind self image?
- Do I have beliefs that are encouraging and supportive?
- Do I believe that I can be abundant, healthy, happy, and self-loving?
- What can I do to be more receptive to new ideas and the thoughts of others?
- Do I think I’m open minded?
- Have I experienced pain, dis-ease, or dysfunction associated with my sinuses, eyes/vision, mouth, teeth, face, and/or pituitary gland? What about headaches, head injuries, and/or mental health issues? If so, what could my body be trying to tell me? What story about myself and/or my life could my body be holding?
If I want more insight, I can always request a message from the universe.
