How Freeing Your Mind Can Liberate Your Soul

By Valerie Mcleod


Today's world may seem, for some people like it's moving faster than it ever has before. Some people get a rush from trying to experience everything life has to offer, even if some of these things are a bit dangerous. What most people seem to want is simply to lead as stress-free of a life as possible, no matter what the situation. If you're interested in broadening some horizons and perhaps attracting a bit more peace into your life, freeing your mind from ideas that are holding you back, might be a good place to start.

Sounds simple enough, but each person on this earth has a world of their very own: a world that revolves around them and them alone. As much as most people want to do what's best for others in their lives, they are still alone with themselves. Some people feel trapped by this, unable to escape. They try desperately to do everything society tells them they should do in order to happy and free, but it's just not happening.

When children start changing into adults, it seems inevitable that at least a few chains will begin to form in their minds. When you were a child, when you were told you had to wait for an hour, those sixty minutes probably seemed like an eternity. Perhaps this is because a child really has no concept of time. There are no deadlines to meet, no real responsibilities.

Adults seem to be the only ones who need help when it comes to liberating their minds. People who are so focused on themselves and the world that they've created for themselves, may eventually find that even though they have everything society says they need in order to be complete, they still feel like they're living in a cage. These people are trapped, shackled, and bound to their own ideas and beliefs.

People who can look into another person's world and not only understand how that person is feeling, but also feel inside themselves some empathy for that person, have taken a big step in loosening the restraints within their minds. Not just knowing, but actually accepting and being okay with the fact that not everyone is going to look like you, act like you, or think like you, can also be a step towards personal freedom.

Just about every person who lives on this earth is aware of the guidelines that are in place to help everyone live alongside each other. It doesn't matter what religion you are or where you stand politically, some rules simply need to followed. However, this does not mean you can't or shouldn't question them. The more you question everything, the more you will begin to understand. The more you're able to understand and feel, the freer your mind will become.

When you feel one restraint snap, it can start a chain reaction. There are things you must do in order to survive. There are certain rules that must be obeyed. Working on freeing your mind of many (if not all) of the restrictions that have been placed on it, means following the laws of humankind while still being able to think for yourself. When you can accept or at least tolerate other views, beliefs and people, you will be on your way to freedom.
