A new idea is a soap bubble!

How do you handle a soap bubble? With extreme gentleness, the quality of touch is sublime isn't it? Any jerking and the bubble will burst.

A new idea in your consciousness takes root only if you treat it with that extreme gentleness. Resistance to a new idea is natural. The resistance towards new ideas can easily be overcome with gentleness. The kind of quality you need to feel in order to move a soap bubble without breaking it.

If you don't develop this quality of touch, you'll lose many ingenious ideas and the world will be a poorer place for it.

EXERCISE

To focus your mental energies into a new idea

1. Search your mind for an idea that does not work for you, and identify a new idea that you could use instead. For example lets say you are a CA and you believe it's hard to get new clients, that'a not  a reality just an idea. One new idea you could use is that everyone you meet is a potential client and it's easy to approach them. 

Your mind will rebel violently if this idea is introduced abrubtly in a normal waking state. Your mind will search for data to support the old belief and burst the bubble of your new idea. So you really need to get into the state of mind that will accept your new exciting idea. Here's how you do it.

2. Move an imaginary soap bubble around for a munite with both your palms, try to get into the altered state of mind that allows you to do this

3. Once your consciousness feels gentle enough to welcome  a new idea think about the idea. See the picture/ movie and hear the words, nurture this idea against any jerks and allow it to form clearer. Treat it like you would treat a soap bubble as you move it into deeper layers of your being. 

4. If you nurture it this way for a few minutes you'll be compelled to act on the new idea instead of the old one. The bubble will attach to your being and draw nourishment until it is strong enough to populate your consciousness instead of the old one.

5. You need to go inside and nurture this idea with a gentle state of consciousness everyday. You can modify it and beautify it till its the best idea in the universe.

6. Your mind will now search for evidence to validate the new idea.

Fighting old ideas is never effective. Ease them into your consciousness like you'd ease a soap bubble into another position.

Once you grasp this subtle state of consciousness through your body's movements as described in point 2. above you can wash away the deepest and most stubborn of your negative ideas and replace them with shiny new ones.

How many ideas do you want to work on? There's no limit at all! Just be gentle and relaxed.

Good luck with this. It is a little subtle to grasp if you don't approach it through your body. Move that imaginary soap bubble for a minute with your palms for a minute and read the post again if you didn't get it.
