Ways to Move Beyond the Weapons of Mass Distractions
You can’t do big things if
you’re distracted by small things.

What is keeping you from accomplishing your goals?
You may know what you want to do and accomplish, yet somehow unknown obstacles get in your way. For many of us the biggest block is distractions. There are so many things that pull your attention and not all of them are frivolous. We are conditioned to split our attention with relationships to our home, children and family. Sometimes our duties are our distractions.
Alexandra is a powerful woman with many successful businesses and a huge tribe of networkers. In the last couple of years she has been challenged greatly by her obligations to her family due to an illness. Her attention has pulled away from her goals.
Women are wired to be distracted. The feminine brain is designed to multitask. We have more dendrites in our brain. Dendrites are connectors or neurotransmitters that receive information from the environment and carry it to our cells.
A man might say, “just focus,” not fully grasping the complexities we women face. Men are hardwired to be more single focused. In fact they are often derailed when interrupted in a conversation. Whereas women can easily be interrupted when speaking and then go right back to it.
We are in a mass information era. There is so much mental stimulation available to us. Our digital devices provide an endless stream of diversions and entertaining data. I get hundreds of emails a day. I am drawn to different platforms of social media. I am drawn to newsreels and Youtube videos. Many of us are addicted to our screens and can spend most of the day on our phones, computers, ipads and televisions.
Women have more challenges, but we also have many blessings because we tend to be more in touch with our emotions and our love nature.
There are ways we can challenge these weapons of mass distraction, which are beyond willpower and determination, which doesn’t work for me.
Staying grounded and embodied is the most effective tool. It means eating more protein in the morning and exercising or stretching with deep breathing.
Conscious breathing is the most powerful tool of vitalizing and embodiment. There are many effective methods. I highly recommend the following one, which I am using now:
Take a deep inhale at the count of four, filling your lungs to their capacity. At the same pace of counting, release your breath to a count of 11. Repeat 10 rounds for the first few days and do it several times a day. After several days, I increased it to 20 rounds. Repeat throughout the day.
For me drawing in the Radiance is the secret to living an embodied and spiritual life. Radiance is the Universal Energy that surrounds us and when you consciously call it into your body daily, it connects you with the Quantum Field where you are in a co-creation with the Universe. This is real and viable.
Combine the previous exercise of conscious breathing with sitting with your left hand up and your right hand down and call the Radiance into your body with your breath. As you inhale fully at a count of four, feel the energy entering your left hand. As you slowly breathe out, imagine the vital Universal energy to fill your whole body. Basking in the Radiance fills you with empowerment. Place your intentions in that stream of illumination and allow them to be infused with Divine Intentions.
Another thing that can overcome distraction is Devotion. Devotion is fervent enthusiasm toward something. For me it is sharing the wisdom I have accumulated. Only love motivates me. I have many great projects that I want to complete. When I think of those I can and will serve with my synthesis and wisdom, I am inspired to focus on them. I am working with and for them. I spend time visualizing those with whom I have a soul’s contract and it helps to redirect me from a beeping text, an email notification or a ringing phone. I say, “It can wait.”
What really works is to find some support from conscious raising groups, which are so important right now. Having real and viable vision carriers and empowering soul partners is invaluable.
My partner, Darren Starwynn offers weekly meditation groups every Tuesday at 8 AM PST and a Lightworkers Activation every other Thursday at 5:30 PST that are free and open to the public. You can join us. For more information go to https://www.lightworkerministry.com.
The great adage is “whatever you focus on increases.” So bringing your awareness to what you want is so vital to making it happen, May the Universal Force be with you!
