Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

Listener request: please say more about the concept of RICH with time, money, energy and connection. 

Listener question: Is it necessary to identify or pin down the individual ‘beliefs’ we hold about the self? Nowadays when I feel fear or unease I know that it is because I’m believing something that isn’t true but I find it increasingly hard to pinpoint what it is. In the beginning of my journey here I could pinpoint exactly what the belief was but now I find I notice the feelings and sensations b...

Listener question: Discipline has been a painful story in my life, the word makes me feel slightly nauseous. I’m ready now to look at it more closely. Discipline was always something coming from outwards, imposed rules and forces. It was expected to work really hard and seemed there was no Space and time to just be myself. I was forced to do shit I didn’t like, ie ballet class or wearing clothes I...

Exploring how the realisation that the problems of imagination cannot be solved shifts the whole experience of being into the intelligence of now. 

Listener question: how do I get back to that ultimate peace I once experienced?

Listener question: can you say more about body sensations and reality? 

Listener Question: Generally, life’s mirror reflects worry, doubt and perfectionism in relationships which makes spending large chunks of time on my own much easier and mostly a relief.   However, I wonder if I’m missing out through ignorance of what healthy relationships can be like.  Since there’s only now, and only our current state of learning and readiness, how is space created for patterns o...

Listener question:  I suddenly had an awareness of my mother as a young mother, and saw that her bursts of anger came from her anxiety and self doubt as a parent (she's spoken to me often as an adult about the self-doubt she had, but I'd never connected it to her anger).  I don't think that I've ever realised how early on that experience was there for her, and I have the deepes...

listener question:  Can you talk about fear generated from flashbacks? It seems life flows along and contact with family members which is regular, unfortunately, undoubtedly triggers remembrances of a traumatic, cruelty filled childhood and young adulthood. Once the thought storm is triggered, it's almost impossible to step out of the loop and fear takes over. Fear of insanity too, because ot...

Listener question: A couple of years ago i participated in a course that was all about accepting feelings in the body. So every day i meditated and tried to feel what was going on in my body. But instead of feeling things, my mind just became so stirred up that i got very depressed. Now when i hear you say: “just feel it”, i notice the depression coming up again. I’m scared of it. The last time it...

Listener question: When there has been a lot of conditioning of random physical punishment in early years, and that resulted in a belief of being inherently bad and wrong, almost like it’s lodged into the physical body. Is then this understanding strong enough to unravel this physical visceral memory? 

I write to you as I’m finding the FEAR course really challenging!  Although I feel like running as far away from the course as possible, I’m sticking with it because a part of me knows there is more to see here. Am I to suppose that I’m feeling uncomfortable because there’s a recognition that I’ve lived in fear for most of my life? I guess I’ve thought it was somehow protecting me? Something insid...

Listener question - the REAL course seems to look away from ME and into the dissolution of self which I seemed to feel more comfortable with, but this course is turning to and focusing on ME, my actual fear, fear of showering alone, fear of going out alone etc  and most importantly fear of me/of reality.  I feel quite numb and a bit detached/lost.  I usually cant wait for the next days video but a...

Listener question: Exhibiting symptoms of fear and suffering were so dangerous in my formative experience that I’m not sure I recognise when I’m suffering/feeling fear - habits of window dressing and toughing it out would seem to be so ingrained - but I’m wondering if the strong aversion I feel (and subsequent avoiding action I take) to a range of experiences of ‘other’ is suffering in disguise?  

Listener question: "Would it ultimately be cruel or healing  to try to go cold turkey on these avoidance/ cleaning rituals? Is that what I need to do  to finally fully rewire my cells and brain patterns to know it is all my imagination today?  In other words, is it really true that my avoidance/cleaning habits are actually numbing techniques that are keeping the PTSD “self” lodged deeper in p...

Exploring the fear related to decisions and to 'doing the right thing' and how the actions will always be what makes sense given the understanding of reality and self

Exploring the relationship between body, mind and self and what that means for self care. 

Exploring how behaviour is simultaneously 'just what is' and also an indication of the protection of something that doesn't even exist. 

Exploring how feeling the fear and doing it anyway can result in a change of understanding but can equally reinforce the misunderstanding. Understanding that fear is the protection of a vulnerable self is the opportunity to see what that self really is. 

Fear is the gift that shows all this armour and defence is actually protecting nothing. 

Exploring the link between fear and self loathing.  If you have a question related to fear please send to clare@claredimond.com. Thank you x

Exploring why seeing the self, the experience and the other as separate objective entities maintains the suffering and exhaustion. 

Exploring how powerfully fear can manifest in destruction, damage, addiction and confusion and yet ultimately nothing is being protected. 

Over this month we'll explore what fear really is. Today we begin with an introduction. Please send any questions to clare@claredimond.com.

Exploring how the understanding that 'there is no objective reality' is never a denial and always an opening to whatever arises.
