Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

Levels of consciousness and intelligence

Comment from Tony on this video 

Noticing of late quite strong resistance from my conceptual mind to challenge these explorations.  This is interspersed with some periods of beautifully deep inner calm and a connective knowing of a kind where the simplest things are paying off with exquisite moments of joy.

Why do we need to know who we are? Listener question

I had (what I thought was) an epiphany about restriction.  I have a lot of thoughts around being restricted or told what or what not to do or to eat.  So I thought, hmmm. Maybe I think of restriction as a problem.  My mom controlled what I ate, along with my family and even my dad up until he was 90!.    

So if restriction is a problem, my solution was no restrictions.  I gave up restricting myself with any foods or food groups.  Trying to understand if this was even what might fit into this idea has still confused me.  I am not certain I understand well, and not even sure I am explaining this with clarity.  

I also know I see (my) overeating as a big problem.  So if overeating is a problem and then the solution is to restrict, there we go with the restriction.  But here it is a solution.  

Can you take this confusing question and make it any more clear to me using these examples of overeating/restriction/no restrictions?

When the thought arises about food when our bellies start to rumble, and our attractions towards our addictions are so intense that we begin to get agitated with the people that love us, and all we can think about is eating.

How do we stay present, not react to the feeling of starving ourselves and offload our anger onto others when we feel we are the only ones important.

I'm a GP and see people every day who are struggling with anxiety and depression. The focus is very much on getting rid of symptoms which, as part of this group, we understand are helpful.

In short 10 minute consultations, time is very limited. Any thoughts on how such an opposing perspective could be communicated in such a time limited situation?

I recommend books / resources to my patients and always try to leave them feeling hopeful and highlight that they're not broken even when it really looks to them that they are.

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Why do we simultaneously crave and avoid connection? Listener question 

I just listened to the podcast this morning about the core identity and I’m wondering - how do we get though periods when ALL areas of the identity are being challenged simultaneously - the deep really painful layers, how do we still show up and function?  I’m feeling bombarded :(

This is the most downloaded of all our podcasts. I am republishing it today as follow on from last week's FOOD webinar.
