The mental level is the department of your spirit: thoughts, beliefs, and convictions. Every one of these objects finds its base in your head and has an influence on your whole well-being. Not only your mental health is influenced by it, but also your physical and energetical health because all levels are interconnected. Your self-image, how you feel about yourself, and how you manifest yourself are predominantly determined by your thoughts. In other words: you behave accordingly to the image you have about yourself.

Ideas, thoughts, and beliefs come into existence during the course of your life. Everything you learn, see experience, and hear determines what thoughts and beliefs you will create in your head. This means that you’re not only creating your own truths, but also your own judgments. So what you manifest into your life is dependent upon how you think about certain things, which judgments and ideas you vocalize, how you act and respond, your behavior, and your appearance. Because you mirror this to the external world, the external world can, for example, derive from your behavioral patterns if you are confident or not. The origin of your confidence or insecurity can therefore be derived from your past experiences and events.

Beliefs, judgments, ideas, and thoughts can act as an obstruction or a catalyst. When you are aware of the effect of certain thoughts, you’ll probably notice that they influence your emotions, feelings as well as physical sensations. The mental level is the first indicator that influences your state of mind. When you’re experiencing depressive feelings, you’ll most certainly also feel tired and you sense (muscle)tension or pain in certain areas of your body. You’re not only feeling down, but you also think thoughts that make you think less of yourself. When you do this without being aware of it, there is a chance that the balance between your holistic levels becomes imbalanced, which can cause sickness.

Depending on which stories you tell yourself to determine whether you show avoidant behavior, close yourself off from your emotions, distance yourself from confrontations, and/or suppress your feelings. It all starts with becoming aware of these kinds of thoughts, beliefs, and judgments. When you are aware of having them, you can transform your anxieties, insecurities, anger, and physical problems into sources of power by consciously paying attention to them. By practicing conscious awareness development you’ll learn how you can do this. You’ll learn how to recognize and approach these energies within you. You’ll also learn how you can let go of or change them when you’ve discovered that they no longer serve you.
