Keeping an open mind is essential when undergoing any significant change or re-alignment.

Recently, I started reading a book that had a lot of ideas that were new to me. They didn’t fit into the preconceived ideas I had about how things should be handled. Some of those ideas I simply disagreed with. I could tell, because I was willing to examine the pros and cons and calmly consider the possibilities.

Other ideas brought up an interesting response that surprised me. My mind and creative energy would simply shut down and I had to ask myself, “Is this a good way to be? Is it really more important that I be “right” in this situation? What if there are some real answers here that I am refusing to see, like a small child who refuses to eat what’s good for her? How could being open to change benefit me?”

It took some real determination, and it still does, to keep an open mind, however, we are entering a time where we simply cannot afford to let our egos run us. If we want things like sensible gun reforms or economic sustainability, we’re going to have to learn how to listen and keep our minds open.

Be The Change You Hope To See
You can support an underlying change in consciousness by looking at the Soul Contract Circle below and affirming these statements:

G11

“I release any agreements I have to be distracted from keeping an open mind.

“I release any agreement I have to rebel against being open to change.

“I release any agreement to make important decisions out of stubbornness or rebellion.”

“I stop feeding my conscious or unconscious desire to rebel or think I already know it all.”

“My new agreement is to keep my mind open to the possibility of finding new solutions, ideas and actions that can genuinely benefit me and others.”

If we can admit that we don’t know the answer, we’re actually freeing ourselves from dominating thoughts and behaviors that have clearly held us back in the past. Use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to clear the air. As you gaze at the symbol, imagine you can dissolve those destructive patterns into thin air or send them to the Sun to be purified.

“I dissolve the mental and emotional blueprints that prevent me from being open to change.”

SPC 24

By bringing more flexibility into our minds, we can allow something different to happen.

“I redirect my energy towards solutions the things that really matter.”

We can step beyond those old societal patterns that are creating so many problems in our world – both inner and outer.

Ask yourself:

“What can I do to create something better?”

G 25

Write down any new creative ideas that come to you.

With a little bit of courage and determination, you have opened your mind to the possibilities in a positive, proactive plan.

Congratulations!

Being open to change is being open to finding new solutions, ideas and actions to benefit you and others. Now is a good time to take a walk, stretch and let your body help you integrate.
