Six Principles Of Bhakti

Adam Wes Thank you.

Hey.

Giulio Frigo So.

Adam Wes We are just waiting for people to arrive and settle in.

Let us bring our attention to our hearts and our bodies, and allow everything to settle down.

Take a moment to attend to yourself energetically.

Try another two-number.

Namaste. Welcome. I hope everyone has had a wonderful week.

I am very excited about our discussion today. These are very important principles, so I will share with you what I feel are six of the core principles of bhakti.

Bhakti is the path of becoming enlightened through the heart, or love. It is not a religious path; it is purely an existential pathway available to sentient beings. It is my personal predilection because I enjoy love, the heart, and everything related to those qualities of existence more than just about anything.

So, these six principles are not only for bhakti, but they are very central principles. I have lived them and contemplated them, and I would love to share a distilled, empowering version of them with you today.

I will also talk about how they relate to karma. What is karma? How does it affect us? Because it affects everyone.

First of all, karma is a Sanskrit word, and it means action. Most people have probably heard the word karma in society. In Western society, it is a little misunderstood—the actual nature of it.

The actual mechanism of karma is this: our thoughts, our actions, and particularly the intent with which we take our actions, inform our state of mind.

Do something nice, and you will feel good. Do something not so nice, and you will feel bad. Do something self-transcendent, and you will feel self-transcendent.

Do something—wait one second.

Do anything, even some mathematics, and it changes you. Be meticulous in some way, and it changes you. So karma informs our state of mind.

Whatever our state of mind is determines how we perceive the world. Through synchronicity, we draw in likeness. What is similar to our state of mind will come into our world. What is not will simply be like a radio signal that is not registered by a particular antenna.

Old-fashioned car antennas are a certain length, and they have a certain quality within them that determines their ability to pick up a signal. The signal they pick up could be anywhere on the spectrum—AM, FM, any radio station.

Everything passes by unless it is reverberating at that particular frequency. In synchronicity, we attune and see all of the things that are our frequency. So karma is the actions that inform our state of mind, and then we have those things come back into our lives through that synchronicity.

All of this is related to principles.

Principles are distinct from values. Values are, at least in my semantic definition here, the things we value—things that are important to us, our jewels, our gold.

Principles are the virtues, the ways we live, the way we conduct ourselves. Sometimes those are switched around, but we will be very clear about the definitions for our purposes of discussion here.

I am excited to share my principles. I invite everyone to check in and ask, is that a principle that I want to prioritize in my life? If it is, we can build a community based on these central principles.

Communities generally share principles. If you go to Japan, they have etiquette, right? They bow down lower to someone who is older. In California, they do not really do that.

So there are different principles in different societies, and they act as a cohesive agent in creating a shared paradigm. These could be whole nations, families, or communities.

For example, Beverly Hills has certain principles different from Venice. Venice is kind of grungy. Beverly Hills is really opulent, but Venice is very conscious, and Beverly Hills is sometimes conscious. So there are different principles in different places.

Oh, sorry, Ariela. Ariela basically lives in Beverly Hills.

Ariella Master Road.

Adam Wes Yes, she goes to all those places where everything is fancy.

Okay, so I will share the principles. The first principle—let us see, I have not even decided the order yet—is kindness.

We have already discussed kindness, so I am going to talk about the principle and what I mean by it. Kindness is having a benevolence, a goodwill for the other person. Usually it comes from a sort of detachment—not being vested in that individual, but simply wishing for them the best, what they want for themselves in the depths of their heart. Not superficially, but what they actually want for their happiness.

If you walk around with kindness and do not just assume it is an intellectual shift—sometimes I am surprised to find kindness again. That happened to me yesterday, actually. I saw someone, and I felt real, genuine love for a stranger without even thinking about it. It was an energetic quality.

As you practice kindness, you can embody that frequency structure in your energy field—wanting for others what they want for themselves in the deepest, truest way. Ultimately, that is the happiness of freedom, the happiness of wholeness, the happiness of being kind.

So that is kindness. That is one principle.

The next principle is positivity. Now, this one is a little bit more complex.

Kira knows all about it. She is very positive.

Positivity has many dimensions. It does not mean ignoring the truth or being blindly positive about everything. It is a way of relating to life that is massively empowering and changes the outcome.

It also changes your field. It changes so many things. I am going to go through a lot here about positivity. For everyone who might be scrambling to take notes, there will be a full document on this. You can always message me. I am going to create something based on everything I have said here—or as much as I can.

Positivity five types of positivity.

First of all, revolving around what you want.

Many people complain, but this is not good for energy. Resisting the things you cannot change and simply complaining about them is indulgent.

Revolving around the things you want is very empowering. What do you want? Focus on that. Let everything else go. If you try to resist the whole world, you will never get anywhere.

So, revolving around what you want—think of it like a planet orbiting the sun. It revolves; it is centered on that.

Another important principle is optimism: believing that things will work out. If you hold that belief, you will live with it in the moment, and you will affect the outcome, generally causing things to work out. Belief is a transformative agent. So, believe that things will work out, because they can and they will, if you truly believe that in your heart and live in that way.

Next is believing that anything is possible. It amazes me how many people do not connect with this idea. If you believe we can colonize Mars, we might actually do that.

There are so many naysayers in the world—“You cannot do that, you cannot do this”—and eventually, they are almost always proved wrong. You have to believe that anything is possible.

Sean, you have to believe you can become a math genius. Only then will you actually have a chance. If you do not believe that, I do not think you will have a chance. I am not sure if that is bad news or not, but you are going to have to change your belief system here.

All of these principles, of course, apply to our Enlightened Mathematics course.

If you are kind, for example, you will be in a calm, equanimous state of mind—much better for math. If you are positive, you will focus on math, and you will not be distracted by things that have nothing to do with your life.

Let us continue with positivity. I have mentioned: revolve around what you want, be optimistic, believe things will work out, and believe anything is possible.

Next is—let us see—be grateful for what you have.

That is a form of positivity, although I actually keep it as a separate principle. I have been trying to decide; it almost stands as a full principle on its own. But gratitude is a positive focus because you are concentrating on your blessings and living in those blessings.

You could have the most wonderful things sitting right next to you, and if you do not acknowledge them, if you do not feel it, you will not experience the benefits.

So, saying, “Oh, I love this new computer,” or simply marveling at everything you have—all the blessings, every moment—“Oh, that was so good! Thank you.” This changes your energy field; it changes your karma.

It is such an easy blessing for yourself, because you get to enjoy the things you have, instead of not enjoying them. It makes perfect sense—it is simply more enjoyment.

Let us see, I am forgetting—what are they? I am blanking.

See the best in things.

For example, if someone dents your car—see the best in it.

What does that mean? There is a silver lining in things. Maybe it means you get a new paint job. Maybe it means you become more detached from your car. Maybe it means all kinds of things.

Ultimately, in Buddhism, Zen, and Yoga, when we lose something, it is actually a gain because we become more free, less dependent on that thing. There are many ways to see the best in things. It might be challenging, and we can always discuss it if you are having trouble finding that perspective.

In life and in spiritual practice, what sets us free is a benefit, and when we have that, we can generally find a way to see the best in things.

We could also discover that we are going to get a whole new car, in which case it would not be about setting us free, but about another manifest blessing.

All right, let us see, how many have I listed? I have a shirt with all of these written on it. I might have to get my shirt out. Oh, do you have mine?

You hold it. Wait! Do you remember the other principle of positivity?

Kira Radiate with brightness.

Adam Wes Oh, yes, thank you. I am forgetting my own principles here. Radiating with brightness means to simply shine—shine on your face. When was the last time you smiled really big for no reason? When was the last time you had smoldering, glowing love emanating from your eyes because the sun was shining on you?

Practice the energy of luminousness, of being radiant. That is a form of positivity as well.

All right, that is actually just principle number two. Principle number three: mindfulness.

You know what I actually want to do? Gentleness first. I usually put this next, but gentleness is softness with your energy.

Hardness or resistance with your energy is not conducive to retaining the highest energy within your field. Gentleness—and I do not mean weakness—I mean the might of meekness.

To be mighty in your meekness, like a mountain is gentle. A mountain is gentle; it does not make sharp movements.

If you ever watch some of the wonderful teachers from the 20th century, some of them speak very slowly, but their words hold so much gravitas. So, gentleness is a sign of deeper power, of knowing yourself, of having integrity.

Usually, when someone is making erratic, fast movements, there is something that is not really happening optimally in the system.

Gentleness also has to do with, for example, kissing a flower, being gentle when you pick something up out of the fridge, or throwing something away—not tossing your groceries in the basket, but putting them down gently.

I have had people come up to me and say, “Wow! I love how you folded your blanket after your meditation,” because I did it with gentleness and intentionality.

Principles require intentionality. That is fundamental. The intention is, I am going to be gentle with how I fold my blanket, and then I am going to feel gentle, and it is going to open my heart.

And wonderful—next, mindfulness. Mindfulness is an epidemic in our society—the lack of it.

You should be really on guard. You cannot simply download the status quo. If you do that, you are likely to end up not living as long, not being happy, and experiencing all kinds of problems. Look beyond society for guidance on how to live your life.

Mindfulness means truly tasting your food when you eat. Take one bite, close your eyes, taste the food, and give it your full attention—not watching TV at the same time. Otherwise, before you know it, your meal is finished and you barely noticed.

That is really mindfulness. Let me define it: it is giving your full attention to what you are doing and doing it with complete intentionality.

So, folding that blanket required mindfulness. I was doing it with gentleness, but I was also doing it with mindfulness.

Mindfulness is a central spiritual principle. Without mindfulness, you are not going to feel, or appear, or even seem to yourself—if you were to videotape yourself—very spiritual.

The mindful individual—think of Japan. There is a movie called The Last Samurai. In it, they perform a tea ceremony with such mindfulness. It is not always the most efficient in the immediate sense.

It might take you twice as long to make dinner, but you will get ten times as much out of it, because you will walk away with a state of mind that allows you to accomplish ten times as much in your next hour, or clean your house more efficiently, or even earn more.

When you are mindful, you are thinking clearly. Many people run in circles, and that does not mean you are efficient. That just means you are erratic.

Second, so mindfulness. Okay, let us see, what else do we have?

And I love to walk—walking mindfully, when you are really connecting with your energy. If you are practicing the Dan Tian meditation that I suggested, which involves the third eye, the heart, and the navel center, you can walk around. This is perhaps the most important: mindfulness is walking around feeling your chakras.

It takes intention to continue. Do not just spend 15 minutes or an hour or two working on your energy—do it all day. So when you are sleeping, you actually keep working on your chakras. Believe it or not, you can do that.

You will wake up and think, "Wow! I just spent three hours half sleeping and half doing energy work, and my chakras are moving further toward a sorcerer-like power of enlightenment."

Because, you know, you only have so many years to get there. So every year in our life, we can progress further energetically.

Let us see, what else do we have? So that is mindfulness.

The next one is independence. Independence—what I mean by this is very nuanced: spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically independent.

That means you do not need anything. You can simply sit. Meditation is one of the greatest expressions of independence. You do not need your TV. You do not need your shows. You do not need your pills. You do not need your crutches.

There are so many crutches that people rely on: "Well, I have my needs. I need this, I need that, I need the girlfriend, I need the boyfriend." There are so many needs that people just accept as part of who they are. I would argue that we are far more independent than that.

Ultimately, we do not even need our body. We want to find the part of ourselves where we do not need anything—nothing. We are complete.

Spiritual independence is something that you have to choose. Most people go their whole lives satiating their cravings. But when you choose independence, you liberate yourself; you open yourself up to potential, integrity, and freedom.

And you will find that you can become kind, loving, and benevolent when you are not afraid.

Give away also, Sean, give away your sense of "I need to be good enough."

That is not independence if you are only happy when you have this idea of yourself that you are good enough. That is actually not independence either. It is a codependency or a dependency on this image you have of yourself.

So be—stand naked to the unknown. Be absorbed to the point where you do not care if people respect you. You do not care if you respect yourself. You do not even think about it—you are just completely independent, like a child.

Ironically, who is not thinking along those lines? Children are pretty free.

So, if you are dependent on somebody for paychecks because you had a child with them, that is a different matter, right? That is a different situation, although you might want to disentangle your circumstantial independence as well.

The more independent you are, the more you can give everything to your freedom, to your art, to your spiritual practice. Independence is a very important principle.

And the sixth principle is gratitude. I want to make this a separate one because it is so significant. Gratitude.

Kira has seen me do this—she could tell some stories. Kira might say, "Adam is crossing the street, and he feels gratitude for this side of the street," and then I go to the other side. Every time I experience a change—like after this class, I will stand up, but before I do, I feel gratitude for this moment that will never come again. This unique concurrence in life that is happening right now, and I feel gratitude for it.

If I do not feel gratitude, I am definitely missing out, and sometimes I forget. Gratitude means—oh my gosh, there is an unopened, beautiful juice in front of me that I got from Erewhon. Wonderful! I am going to just feel gratitude for this for a moment before I open it. It is sitting right there waiting for me to enjoy. Thank goodness I had the funds to buy it, and the health to drink it—all of that.

So, gratitude. Those are the six principles.

Usually, you can adopt one principle a week, or a month, or a year. I wanted to share all six. You could try working on them all, but it is a major upgrade to your system if you start to live these principles.

When you look around, ask, "Wait, are people living these principles?" Most people are not being kind, grateful, mindful, or positive. People do not do these things.

When you do it, you act as an example. I do not think people simply avoid it because they do not care. They are suffering from a lack of mindfulness. They are suffering from a lack of kindness. It hurts to be selfish.

If I am surrounded by people who are immensely kind, perhaps I will snap out of it and stop being selfish. Then I will not have to live in that sense of separateness and isolation.

We can feel the unity and love that comes from self-transcendent activity.

Let us see.

This is all. I shared the treasure of the eight jewels last week, which are the values. So I thought it was natural to move into the principles. Values and principles—I would really love for everyone to transform their lives, be truly happy, and stay connected.

It is easier for us to travel together. We can go further if we have many beautiful, kind people—beautiful, mindful people—in our lives.

So, I am looking for some friends, some sanga, some community, and I invite you to invite your friends to embody these things, to practice them, to make them a point of focus, cultivation, and priority in your life.

So, Namaste.

Does anyone want to share anything? I almost feel like Kira should tell a story or something, because you have seen me do a lot of these, right, Kira?

Kira I love it. I love it because if we are going out to eat or going to the grocery store or something, it does not really matter what is considered normal by society or friends, etc. Adam always prioritizes gratitude.

If we are entering a grocery store or leaving a grocery store, he will stand and focus solely on gratitude. I have never seen that level of focus on it before. Sometimes you might say thanks while you are texting or doing something else, but it is really interesting. I think Adam does that very uniquely—he focuses.

He is mindful, which is another principle, about the gratitude. So now I have started to explore doing that. Instead of just feeling gratitude casually, I am really being fully present with it.

So thank you, Adam, for not caring about what society thinks and for setting an example based on values and principles.

Adam Wes Yes, I had someone yesterday—I met someone, and he said, "I see you all the time. You are the guy that bows at the store." Everyone watches me doing that, but he loved it.

So it is important—independence and gratitude really work together. Independence means you do not care what anyone thinks, and then you can be yourself, and you can be eccentric. But really, what is eccentric? You are just not conforming to the norms of our current society.

Every time I see someone walking on their phone, not feeling out with their energy, not noticing nature, just walking on their phone—it makes me dizzy because, empathically, I am picking up what they are experiencing.

Watch out for your phone. You can use your phone to empower yourself, or you can use it to really disempower yourself.

If you spend the next 10 years on your phone—walking on your phone, eating on your phone, never getting away from your phone, scrolling for 45 minutes at a time—it is going to affect your mind. And Zuckerberg does not care. Zuckerberg will let you do that.

So it is our responsibility. Thank you. Kira, by the way, just embodies so many of these principles really beautifully. She is a glowing, shining, positive, sprightly, wonderful being.

A lot of people here do. I am just bringing it to our attention. I know many of you are kind and mindful. Maybe everyone is doing all of these things better than I am—who knows? That is not the point.

The point is, let us just hold these in our hearts as principles. We are part of a community that values and shares them. I think that is a very lovely thing to have.

All right, let us meditate.

Let us see.

Thank you, thank you. Julio, it is wonderful that you are here. She lives in London. It is 2 am. I am so happy you made it.

All right. The music should be starting here.

Good.

Oh, there it is! I can hear it.

All right.

Let us bring our attention to the heart center. You can even practice the principles while you meditate. My heart feels good after going over those with all of you. It is warm and fuzzy, vital, clear.

Right now, we are just looking to get in touch with the heart, or take the heart to the next level. We are simply attending to the heart. This dimension of ourselves is energetically the center of the chest, the central part. That is correct.

You can put your finger on your heart center, or pull the energy etherically with your hand, or simply feel it.

Let us take a moment and give our attention to the heart. Allow it to be the center from which you look out at the world, through your eyes.

That is your stomach.

We would like to practice another energy exercise with the heart. Allow the heart to expand beyond the field, beyond the proximity of the body. A healthy field is one that is not confined to the body but expands.

It is almost as if you can touch the beyond, if you permeate space magnetically. Perhaps that is exactly what it is.

So if this feels helpful, you could join me in expanding your heart field. Open your heart.

We do this for generating love. Love is a substance that accumulates within our field. Become a source. You can change the world just by being an embodiment of it.

Wholeness spells. That is a good sufficiency.

Listen to the sweet peace, the energetic transformation you open to.

Let us make sure that it is my right hand. You should feel empowered and vital, channeling the energy of understanding.

If you want to lie down, if that feels right for you, listen to yourself. Let me disconnect the history.

So if you are able, let us focus into the light a little bit and stay on the heart. Perhaps we can have an opening into the puzzle, bite the Shakti.

Welcome. You may choose to gaze, or simply cultivate the experience from within, with your eyes closed. It often appears as a brightness—a luminosity—in the field.

Gazing can be helpful. In fact, I will guide us through this, as we have not done it yet.

If you wish, you may open your eyes. Or, continue as you are, with your eyes closed. If your eyes are open, look at everything at once, allowing your focus to be slightly soft or blurry.

Notice all the brightest points in the room. There is an ambient brightness that will become truly brilliant if you stop resisting. Let it wash over you. It is permeated with the ambient power of love.

Allow it to grow on its own.

When we gaze, we allow our eyes to settle on a particular spot, but we do not concentrate on that spot. We use our peripheral vision—looking not only forward, but also behind ourselves—encompassing the whole body at once.

It is the faculty of attention that does not require the eyes.

The light is a visual phenomenon—not imaginary, but an actual, perceivable visual. Yet, it is also a feeling. You can hear it, in a sense. It is multisensorial and transcendent.

You can infuse the body with the light. It purifies and loosens the calcifications of energy—stagnation in the chakras and the nadi, the astral tubes that connect them.

You are either staying on the heart or adding light to the heart. Also, focus on me. There is an empathic attunement that occurs. It is actually a darshan, an energetic transmission.

It is possible to do this online. It works better in person, but it is still possible.

Let us continue with the final songs and meditations.

You may begin to see things—notice aberrations in the visual field. Things may alter. You might feel excited, question what is happening, or simply feel into it. But the experience will wait for you. You may move slowly, as everyone is coming out of the meditation.

Meditation should feel like an adventure, like a journey. Even if you go away completely and then return, you feel as though you have had an existential catharsis. Awakening should be truly profound. It can be intense at times—intensely peaceful, intensely quiet, intensely energizing. There are many different dimensions to it.

You can cultivate that quality of profundity within your being. I hope that was a beautiful experience for all of you. Mom, would you like to share?

Colleen Just quickly, I have a lot of gratitude for the practice today. Thank you so much, Adam.

Adam Wes You are welcome.

Colleen And I have gratitude as well. I enjoyed the principles. My favorite was the calmer ones. I need to practice many things, especially mindfulness and independence. That one will be the hardest. Meditation was really nice. I saw a lot of red colors, and then I had a lot of unusual images coming to me and going.

Adam Wes Unusual, but not unpleasant—like dolphins and things of that sort?

Colleen One was either a fish or a snake. I am not sure—it was blue and scaly. No, actually, you were handing me something as we walked up the stairs—a little boy and girl walking up the stairs. A child, just a whole collection of images.

Adam Wes Wow, thank you.

Colleen Going in and out of different scenarios.

Adam Wes And you saw a red light, usually?

Colleen Lots of red.

Adam Wes Beautiful. Well, Namaste, Mom. Thank you.

Colleen Thank you.

Adam Wes You are welcome. For anyone else, we will just do a quick share—perhaps three or four more people. If anyone feels like sharing, please do. If you need to leave, that is completely fine as well. I just want to let everyone know that on my website, theheartofmathematics.com, you can find meditations in the menu. If anyone wishes to support with a donation, there is a link there—$5, $20, a million dollars, 10 cents, whatever you like. Elias wants to do a million. Yes. If you are already in the course, do not worry about it. Also, if you simply wanted to be here, that is completely fine. It is entirely up to you. I am offering this freely or on a donation basis.

And thank you, Marilyn, for being here. If any of you would like to share, I would love to hear from you. Marilyn, I would love for you to share. Are you Sean's friend?

Yes? Okay, he told me.

Marilyn Yes, Sean introduced me to you, to the website. Thank you. I am very grateful to him, and I brought my husband with me tonight—John.

Adam Wes John, Namaste. John, thank you so much for being here.

Marilyn And we love doing the work together. This is very special. Thank you.

Adam Wes Welcome. You both look radiant over there on that couch, glowing with that gold lamp behind you.

Marilyn What is up?

Adam Wes I enjoy seeing you both there. Thank you for being here.

Marilyn You are welcome. Namaste!

Adam Wes Ariela, would you like to share? Oh, I know Ariela appreciates these principles. She has been practicing them, but you love them nonetheless.

Ariella Yes, thank you for the principles. I appreciate that. Gratitude is something that I work with a lot. I am able to see my 97-year-old mother in South Africa twice a day.

Adam Wes Hmm.

Ariella It is such a miracle. I am so, so grateful that is possible.

Adam Wes Wonderful.

Ariella Yes.

Adam Wes I love that. You speak with her twice a day—that is amazing. I am going to call you twice a day; I hope that is alright. And then I will call Andy twice a day. Alright, sorry, I am just being silly.

Ariella Oh, but there is so much else to be grateful for as well. And this meditation class is one of the things I am grateful for. Thank you so much.

Adam Wes I am glad. You are welcome.

Ariella Okay.

Adam Wes How about you, Kira?

Kira What can I say? I feel like—give me a moment. Maybe someone else should go first.

Adam Wes John was ready.

Kira I just need to integrate, because it was such a kind of far-out space.

Adam Wes Just so everyone knows, you do not have to share. If you are feeling unable to share because your energy is very sensitive, or you simply feel private, there is no obligation. Sharing can help integrate the experience, and it also allows everyone to reflect and realize they are not alone in certain experiences. But it is entirely your choice. Would anyone like to share?

Kira I am ready to share now.

Adam Wes Kira is ready. Okay, please go ahead.

Kira I was just recounting what actually happened. I could feel that, the more I absorbed into the light, certain blockages were being cleared. Perhaps there were things I was hesitant about. Maybe there was a path I saw, and I was operating as if there was a block on that path, or some hesitation around it.

And I felt that the light really acted to diffuse all of that, almost clearing the path through radiance and heart-centeredness. Yes.

Adam Wes Wonderful.

Yes, Kira and I have been going into the light together quite often. It is really wonderful. She is very skilled at it. We reach very deep layers of light.

Hopefully, some of you saw the light as well. If you did not, perhaps at some point we will have a chance to meet in person. Ariella, did you see it?

Wonderful, wonderful. And I was doing something I usually do not do, which is gazing with the camera. That was very nice, because I experienced much more light by doing that as well.

Namaste. Namaste, Kira. Alright, is there anyone else? Colin?

Oh, he just left. Julio, it is nice to hear from Julia. Julia is usually not here, since it is so late in Europe.

Alright, perhaps we are finished for today.

Alright, everyone. Namaste. Thank you so much.

Kira Thank you.

Adam Wes See you soon. I am going to create a little guide, a transcript of this session. Look out for that on Circle, or you can get the link to the Google Doc.

Namaste. Remember to meditate. Goodbye, everyone. Kira.

Living bhakti through six heart-based principles—kindness, positivity, gentleness, mindfulness, independence, and gratitude—so that our actions and intentions shape our state of mind, our perception, and what we draw in through synchronicity.

• Bhakti was presented as an existential path of enlightenment through the heart, available to sentient beings, not as a religious identity.
• Karma was defined as action, with emphasis on how intent behind thoughts and actions informs state of mind.
• State of mind shapes perception; through synchronicity we “draw in likeness,” like an antenna receiving what matches its frequency.
• Principles were distinguished from values: values are what we treasure; principles are the virtues and ways we conduct ourselves.
• The six principles shared were: kindness, positivity, gentleness, mindfulness, independence, and gratitude.
• Kindness was described as benevolence and goodwill—wanting for others what they want for themselves “in the depths of their heart”—and as an energetic frequency that can be embodied.
• Positivity was described as empowering rather than superficial, including: revolving around what you want, optimism, believing things will work out, believing anything is possible, seeing the best in things, and radiating with brightness.
• Gentleness was framed as “softness with your energy,” not weakness—“the might of meekness”—expressed through slow, intentional movement and care in small actions.
• Mindfulness was emphasized as a societal lack to be “on guard” about; it was defined as full attention and complete intentionality (tasting food, walking mindfully, folding a blanket, feeling chakras throughout the day).
• Independence was framed as spiritual/emotional/psychological independence: not needing crutches, not being dependent on approval or an image of being “good enough,” and being “naked to the unknown.”
• Gratitude was emphasized as a major principle: pausing to feel gratitude for moments, transitions, and simple blessings, with full presence rather than casual thanks.
• Phone use was named as a major point of vigilance: it can empower or disempower, and long-term distracted living affects the mind.
• The meditation emphasized heart attention, expanding the heart field beyond the body, and working with light through gazing/peripheral awareness as a multisensory experience and energetic purification.

Hold the six principles in your heart as living priorities, and notice—moment by moment—how your intent and the way you do small things (how you eat, walk, speak, fold a blanket, use your phone, enter a store, transition between moments) shapes your state of mind and the “frequency” you live in.

• Bring attention to the heart and body and “allow everything to settle down,” including checking in energetically.
• Experiment with kindness as an energetic quality: wishing for others what they want for themselves in the deepest way.
• Let positivity revolve around what you want, rather than resisting what you cannot change or indulging complaint.
• Practice “radiating with brightness” by letting the face soften and shine, including smiling for no reason.
• Explore gentleness in ordinary movements (picking things up, putting things down, throwing things away, folding a blanket) with intentionality.
• Bring mindfulness to eating (tasting one bite with full attention) and to walking (feeling your energy and chakras).
• Notice where you are leaning on crutches or “needs,” and feel into independence as not needing anything in order to be okay.
• Pause for gratitude at transitions (entering/leaving places, before standing up, before opening something you enjoy) with full presence.
• Stay on guard with phone habits, especially walking/eating/scrolling, and notice the effect on your mind and energy.
• In meditation, return to the heart center, expand the heart field, and (if helpful) explore gazing softly with peripheral awareness and light.

• Where did I feel my “frequency” shift this week, and what action or intent seemed to shape it?

• What is one moment I can meet with gratitude so fully that I actually feel it?
