Why Your Mind is Paramount in Pranic Living

Perhaps you have already heard about “Pranic Living”. Known also as “Breatharianism”, it is a practice popularized today.

Coming from the ancient word inedia which means: to eat very little or not at all.

Many people see it as merely fasting whereas others view it as a way of life.

Why is the mind paramount to Pranic living? Because working with the mind takes time.

When you plant a seed in the soil, it takes time to grow. When it comes to mental reprogramming, it works the same way you know.

It takes time for the flower to flourish, or for an idea to blossom and bloom. Just like it takes time from the sapling to the tree. It takes time to become that, which we will eventually be.

When you realize it just takes time, you can give yourself grace. And develop compassion for the aspects that are a challenge to face.

After all you didn't get to be who you are today without time. How you are today, where you are today, and the things that you're doing today took time.

Your habits, your lifestyle, your responsibilities. They didn't get here overnight. In fact, they most likely got here over many nights.

If in order to get here was a process, then whenever or wherever we're going from here will be its own process. And each process takes time.

"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." ~Lao Tzu

Now you might be asking yourself, well, what is at stake? And, more importantly, just how much time will it take?

The answer to that is usually one that doesn't satisfy. Most people do not like the way it sounds. Yet its implications are actually quite profound.

It takes exactly as long as it should.

Simply meaning that: nothing in nature, blooms instantly.

Things bloom exactly in their own divine timing. In their own divine plan. And it's the same for every child, woman, and man.

The mind is usually always farther ahead than the body. The body can do it. The body can do anything.

It just takes time to catch up with the mind. The mind with its endless ambitions, endless wants, needs, desires, and dreams. The mind has so many of these things.

The body says “I can do it. I can do it. Just give me time.” But it is never as fast or as quick as the mind.

It’s also important to realize that there really is no separation. Since we tend to view ourselves in some kind of segregation.

The body is a part of the mind just as the mind is the body. What happens to one will naturally affect the other. When you change on a physical level, your mental is changed forever more.

So trying to go against the mind is like going against yourself. It is a losing battle because there is no escape. Everywhere you go, there you are.

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” ~Arthur Schopenhauer

It's interesting to think to myself when it comes to Pranic living that, at first, it was just an idea.

A single splinter in my mind that I came to find through someone else who had the same thought. Many things have been achieved in life like that.

Where someone throughout history has woken up or been awakened to a possibility that was once thought impossible. That was next thought improbable.

Ideas that were laughed at and ridiculed. Ideas that were scrutinized and criticized. Then finally taken to be self-evident, as though they had always been. As though it would be silly to think otherwise.

Every truth seems to go through these stages. People like Gandhi understood the same.

Think of Roger Bannister, who back in 1954 broke the record for running a mile under four minutes. Just how many people, athletes, doctors, physicians thought it impossible for a human being to do?

Just think about that. Humanly. Impossible.

Thinking that, under no circumstances, could a human being run a mile under four minutes. Yet someone named Roger Bannister was able to do so. And, within months, other human beings were recorded doing the same.

Did their bodies always have that capability? Was the opportunity not always at hand, or did the idea have to originate before they actualized the divine plan?

Was it divine timing that encouraged their evolution, or was it an idea in their mind that pushed them to find a solution?

As human beings, we love to solve problems. We love to find answers to our questions.

If we can find them for ourselves, that is all good and well. But it never hurts to find them through the mind of someone else.

If you, yourself, so choose then what do you have to lose?

The word FAIL is just an acronym. It means first attempt in learning.

Why is the mind is so paramount in Pranic living? Because, even though the body is capable, it is as though we are making our first attempt in learning something new.

Something that we may have known internally, or may have had the capacity since birth.

"A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions." ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

We all have different upbringings. We each have different levels of consumption, rates of consumption, and types of consumption.

It could be said that, when it comes to consuming, we're very good at it. You could even call us professionals in the Art of Eating.

Since we are professional eaters, to fast, to feast on air, or even to go a day without eating, is another form of learning. That is another stretching of the mind.

So give your mind time, my friend. Give your mind time to stretch. Exercise your mental muscles, and you'll find yourself getting stronger.

You'll find yourself lasting longer and you'll find yourself, in no time at all, in a brand new reality.
