It is a process that challenges and changes thoughts.<\/p><p>As always, hoping you&#8217;re rocking and rolling in life using all the skills you have learned from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/courses\/beginners\">meditation courses<\/a>, and if not, that you are least learning and growing through whatever challenges may be presenting themselves.<\/p><p>In our most recent post, we briefly touched upon the idea that much could be read between the lines about Russia&#8217;s posturing. That is just one example of how &#8216;everything is information&#8217;.<\/p><p>What we mean by that, is that there is always connotative value in every single word, action, behaviour and item of body language of humans, and indeed in all of the phenomenologies of life. There is almost always a deeper story than the surface level storyline suggests.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab62e86 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ab62e86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/find-a-course\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-sm\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-discourse\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Find an upcoming course<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-200ad3e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"200ad3e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sometimes the information we&#8217;re getting feels very positive, sometimes it feels very negative, and sometimes it just feels downright confusing. But often, what&#8217;s happening here is that our emotions are reacting to some filtered perception of what the information means. Perhaps whats eventuating doesn&#8217;t meet with our expectations, but is that a problem originating with the event, or is that a problem born of our poorly specified expectations?<\/p><p>And when something finds itself being initially interpreted as a negative, that&#8217;s still just emotional guesswork. Because you don&#8217;t actually know if it will result in an ultimately negative outcome. It may actually be the best thing that&#8217;s ever happened to you. Its simply that you were so attached to a particular expectation that rather than accepting the information that is being delivered to you, and letting that flavour the broth of your micro and macro understanding, you are clouding the benefit with your reaction and possibly turning the ambrosia of truth into something rather more toxic.<\/p><p>It needn&#8217;t be this way. If we combine an embrace of healing, growth, honesty and change, with twice a day vedic meditation and any other advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/what-is-meditation\/transcendental\">transcendental meditation techniques<\/a> we&#8217;ve learned, we can learn to transcend the counterproductive emotional spectrum that clouds our view by screaming situational judgement at us, and instead it frees us up to discern the subtle feelings that are being elicited at our deepest level by said experience. Because in these subtle feelings, there is usually so much more valuable information than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/meditation-for-grief\/\">noisy emotions<\/a> that often hijack our sensibilities.<\/p><p>Now sometimes, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/neuroplasticity-and-meditation\/\">subconscious<\/a> will utilise the mechanism of noisy emotion to help you swerve a disaster outcome that you were moving towards, but that can only be relied upon when such events are ultra rare. For me, it seems that once every 18 months I find myself having a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/how-beeja-meditation-can-liberate-you-from-toxic-positivity\/\">negative emotional reaction<\/a> about something that seems relatively benign, and I&#8217;m always really surprised that I&#8217;ve had a strong reaction to something. But I&#8217;ve learned that that is just something deep inside of me, more knowing than my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/does-meditation-increase-intelligence\/\">intellect<\/a>, that is helping me to course correct. To avert the worst of outcomes before they have yet come.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, in our age of low level (and sometimes high level) anxiety, those sorts of alerts come crashing across our radar all the time, but 95-99% of them can be dismissed as overactive hyper-vigilance. So if it feel like fear is telling you not to proceed, that&#8217;s not usually a valuable source of information, unless your life is in danger. But when it just seems to be coming from a totally surprising, and unexpected place, perhaps there is information there. Do I press pause on moving forward with this action? Or is this information telling me something about an external circumstance or input that is putting my systems under strain.<\/p><p>The beauty of all this, is that the further you go in your journey of progress, the more the signal to noise ratio improves, and you don&#8217;t need to actively look for the answers. The sub-conscious will simply deliver information to you and you get an &#8216;a-ha&#8217; moment, and there is a realisation that you may well have the answer. We need not attach ourselves to the conclusion, simply give it due weight in the probability spectrum of our thinking.<\/p><p>However, in our day and age, most people will take a hyper-analytical attempt to uncover the reasoning, and it rarely bares fruit. The intellect gets too easily caught up in rational thinking that it gets blinded to the deeper reasonings, and often gets stuck on loop cycling between possibilities, lost in a whirr of indecision and paralysis. Our emotional brain may well cotton on to one specific possibility and then extrapolate from that and agitate.<\/p><p>But the deeper you will be at peace. For all information is good information. We just need to find the place inside of ourselves where that is our true and authentic reality.<\/p><p>Wishing you a wonderful weekend,<\/p><p>Will &amp; The Team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/fixating-on-the-negative\/\">Beeja Meditation<\/a> xxx<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b033e56\" data-id=\"b033e56\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3521784 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3521784\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0a60e31\" data-id=\"0a60e31\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2fb739 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f2fb739\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/beeja-text-logo.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-723\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/beeja-text-logo.png 474w, https:\/\/www.beejameditation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/beeja-text-logo-300x134.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c980f46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c980f46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
