Guarding Your Mind: Deni Van on Consciousness Hijacking
What you put your focus, attention and awareness on is your most precious gift, and where that is coming from is inside you, not outside of you.
Imagine your mind as a precious treasure, constantly under siege by the distractions of modern life. In this episode of 'Breaking the Cycle,' Deni Van dives deep into the unsettling concept of consciousness hijacking. She paints a vivid picture of how our attention is constantly being pulled in different directions, especially by technology. Are we aware of how much we're giving away? Deni explains that our consciousness acts like a transmitter, sending out signals that eventually come back to us.
It's a wake-up call to be mindful of where we focus our energy. Deni doesn't just stop at highlighting the problem; she provides practical solutions too. She delves into the reticular activating system, a part of our brain that plays a crucial role in how we perceive the world. She even explores the meaning of sin in this context, adding layers of depth to her discussion.
Personal anecdotes make her points relatable and real, showing that she's walked this path herself. One of the standout moments is when Deni shares an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) hack designed to help you reclaim your mental space. This simple yet effective technique can help shut off the noise and bring your focus back to what truly matters. Deni's message is clear: once you understand how to protect your consciousness, no one can hijack it again.
If you're tired of feeling like your mind is not your own, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to take back control.
