Quantum Thinking

by Brenda Anderson

When you grasp the power of low- and high-energy choices, you can make the choices that create the reality you want. You can tune in to what matters and tune out all the rest.

Have you ever experienced a sudden breakthrough—when what you picture in your head actually happens, and you want to pinch yourself because you can’t believe it’s real? Or you have a moment of clarity, and your biggest problem suddenly disappears?

Whether you knew it or not, you were playing in the quantum field—the universal force that connects everything and everyone. You have far more power than you realize. Your thoughts place an order, and the field delivers it. Instead of working harder to achieve your goals, your choices and thoughts can become the beacons that attract what you want and the answers find you.

Ten energetic choices, from “black hole” (low energy) to “breakthrough” (high energy), make up the Energy Spectrum. The first four are low-energy choices; the rest are high-energy.

Fear Zone Choices:

  1. Comfort zones. Just because something feels familiar does not mean it’s the most powerful use of your energy, and it can lead you even lower to:
  2. Head trips: Mentally replaying the same scenario and what-ifs over and over wears you down and leads you to make an even lower energy choice:
  3. Loops: Repeating the same patterns becomes a template for your life that leads to the lowest-energy choice:
  4. Magnets: Your negative, fear-based beliefs create what you are most trying to avoid. This lowest-energy choice sucks you into a Black hole.

. . . and Power Zone Choices:

  1. Suspend judgment. Letting go of your interpretations of and opinions about others, outcomes, and yourself will take you out of the Fear Zone and expand your possibilities.
  2. Lighten up. Lightening up (especially on yourself) shifts the intensity and opens a new way of operating that catapults you into the Power Zone.
  3. Tune in. Unplug from the wired world and get present with the person in front of you right now. When you connect, the result is twice as powerful.
  4. Scan. When you scan, you move into a detached state of observation, using all your senses to take in the physical, emotional, and intuitive information, giving you more options.
  5. Tap the truth. You tap your greatest power when you live in integrity with yourself and with everyone else.
  6. Believe. When you deeply believe, you create. And the power you experience expands your potential. This choice propels you into Breakthrough.

Create Your Life

You can learn to make smart, high-energy choices that create a richer, more fulfilling life. When you are stressed, distracted, and tuned out—daydreaming, worrying, and drifting into low-energy choices—you give up your power. You’re living by default.

When you tune in, you open yourself up to optimal, life-affirming opportunities. You stop the distractions and attend to what is happening now.

Every thought you entertain connects you directly to the endless potential inherent in the Quantum Field. The key is making “thought choices” that yield a high ROE (return on energy) and catapult you into Breakthrough.

Knowing where you are in the energy spectrum helps you tap the potential of the field. When you grasp the power of low- and high-energy choices, you can make the choices that create the reality you want. You can tune in to what matters and tune out all the rest.

When you are not tuned in, you are living in the Fear Zone where you are disempowered. You are constantly thinking about the next task at hand or fretting about things that have already happened, not engaged in the present activity. You are leaking energy.

Start small. When undergoing a major life change, start gradually and take baby steps toward your goal. Think about your priorities and choose the most important ones as a starting point.

Take breaks and make experiments. If you find it difficult to stay Tuned In, you can break up your various activities to give yourself resting time. Take a bathroom break, have a glass of water, or go for a walk. You might experiment by trying to Tune In to an event that would normally trigger a low-energy choice. If you can master the extreme situations, you can Tune In even more in normal everyday situations.

Just notice! What happens when you Tune In to someone? If you feel tense while trying to communicate with the people who matter most, you are probably not focusing on them at all. You may feel fuzzy-minded, or aloof. But when you choose awareness, your objective suddenly comes into focus and you once again connect to the matter at hand.

Start noticing your own “tune out triggers” and give the people you love the attention they deserve. Use observation to your advantage. When you assess and affirm your good intentions to listen, you calmly unwire yourself from your physical and emotional distractions and connect heart-to-heart with others. Suddenly people will hear you when you talk, and you will better understand your friends and family.

Try Tuning In for a week. What’s in front of you often has a gift to offer, if you stay present long enough to see it.

Moving from emotion to observation will connect you with transformative power. Instead of going down a familiar low-energy path, you gain emotional mastery and fulfill your dreams and desires. When you stop repeating familiar patterns, you can overcome unproductive, addictive habits.

Your thoughts have the power to create the reality you want. Don’t get locked into just one of them. For example, when someone does not return your call, you might conclude: He’s not interested; She’s mad at me; They’re too busy to make time for me. Instead, imagine one more possibility (Their voicemail isn’t working; They have a hectic schedule). Opening up to other possibilities helps you make a more powerful choice.

Playing the quantum field will turn your view of “how it is” upside down.  PE
