Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

Today we're looking at the biggest question of all, the question at the heart of mental freedom and sanity. What is reality? To unpack this question, we’re going to analyse some quotes about reality by Albert Einstein, Deepak Chopra and Steve Chandler. We’re also going to explore the notion of “objective” reality, our self-understanding, the content of our mind and the learned beliefs of what we are. We’re going to strip off the layers from these ideas in order to see what reality really is. What is Covered: -Is there an objective reality? - What makes the content of our mind - The essence of who we really are - Why we can’t secure our identity and why the ego is so vulnerable - How we can manipulate and spiritually bypass our understanding of reality - What true accountability is - Exploration and co-evolving our reality as a result of self-interactions Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

What is security is an enormous question. As security is explored, we can start to see that the more the mind associates security in either external circumstances or an inner realm of experiences being a certain way, the more the mind becomes confused and our lives become disrupted when things change beyond our control. That sets up existence as being vulnerable and shaky, and our lives become smaller, more rigid and more dependent as the mind becomes lost in the grip of factors being the source of security. So in this episode, we’re going to dive into security and consider that the only source of genuine security is in whatever doesn't change. So what is that that doesn’t change and that helps us feel secure? What is Covered: -What we normally consider as the sources of security and why that brings us suffering -Why the bodymind system that is programmed to react to perceived threats is at the same time normal and insane -Physical survival vs. identity survival -What really doesn’t change and what is there prior to life and to content? -How we can stop the blind search for security and cultivate a more open mind Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

The search for peace is at the heart of so much of what we do. Our actions, our words and relationships are all done in order to try to bring about peace and ease of emotional and situational being. It’s all very understandable and logical, because as a baby, we live completely in the present, with no concept of past and future, so peace is actually what we are. Once our mind develops and starts learning, planning, and understanding, it starts creating concepts and beliefs about our identity, and so our search for peace begins from that place of belief and conviction of separation. But when we start exploring the search for peace for what it really is, it starts a transformation in everything, from our motivation to our relationships and desires. So in this episode, we’re going to start unpacking what peace is and how to look at the search for peace from a place of openness and inquiry. What is Covered: -What peace is and why our mind is conditioned to search for it -Why our search for peace seems to be unsuccessful -How to get excited about not being peaceful -How to build capacity for discomfort when we’re experiencing suffering -The egoic challenge and confusion of constantly looking for peace -How to let go of control and start cultivating an inquiring mind Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

Shame, which I also refer to as an existential wrongness, is a deep feeling of being somehow responsible for everything that we feel is messed up within us. That ongoing sense of deep wrongness comes from the most fundamental confusion about the mind, about the body, and about our behaviour. However, shame is both our greatest suffering and the point at which there can be the greatest sanity about what the mind is and what we really are. There are examples of people who’d hit rock bottom and were even on the brink of suicide, and then at the lowest point, something happens and there's a shift within the mind in which shame just cannot exist anymore. In this episode, we’re going to explore why we feel shame, the confusion that creates shame in the first place, but also the accountability of our perceiving mind for everything that happens to us and how we can get rid of the shame. What is Covered: -Why shame is the ultimate confusion, why it’s insane and illogical -The toxic belief system that perpetuates shame and makes our life miserable -How to see shame as a gift of an emotion -Does it really make sense to get rid of the shame? -Why we are so focused on ourselves when we feel shame -What is source accountability or impersonal accountability? -How to find the place where shame ends and clarity and openness begin Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

For all of us, in some area of our life, it might be that it feels just like a struggle, like we're pushing water uphill, and the more we try, the more the thing that we want moves away from us. Or otherwise, it might be that we want more money or more clients, but we don't even know where to begin. Maybe we want better health, we want to be stronger, fitter, more flexible, and yet there just isn't that motivation in us. So what is going on when the thing that we want just isn't coming into our lives at all? This question is a way into having a profoundly different relationship with the mind and with the behaviour that unleashes the superpowered mind. Although it might seem a million miles away, the solution is actually already there, and it is so possible for all of us. So how do we get there? What it Covered: -The #1 confusion when it comes to not getting what we want -How come that our self and the thing we want are made of the same thing -The most common problem with getting what we want in relationships -The conflicting wants inside of us that prevent us from getting what we want -How to recognise the mismatch between our different desires and start getting them into alignment Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

This week, we are looking at the origin of personality and the 'me' that thinks it has a personality. We can define personality as the tendencies, traits and preferences, the ways of being and behaving that are the result of both nature and nurture. They're our genetic inheritance and they are how those genes are activated as a result of the individual experience. So our personality arises and develops over time, but can it fundamentally change? And is our personality really ‘our fault’? This is what we’re exploring in this episode. What is Covered: -How our personality is formed into identity -What the bases of introversion and extroversion are -How introverts can become extroverts and vice versa -Why personality tests are not to be taken as definite -Why is ‘is my personality my fault?’ a wrong question to ask -How and why our personality can shift profoundly Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

There is an interesting connection between addictions and the individual belief system. All behaviour, including addictions and compulsions, is the product of whatever subconscious conditioning is in operation. There is no separate decider. As this becomes more obvious, harmful, toxic and problematic behaviour that was carried out to secure the ‘separate me’ falls away. The problem with addictions is that we normally operate from an unquestioned belief that inside every mind, there is an independent chooser that is making independent decisions. In this episode, we’re going to unpack that belief in relation to addictions, and start making a shift towards sanity and the end of unproductive behaviours and habits. What Is Covered: -Understanding the vicious circle of control and shame around our addictions -How the behaviour that we’re trying to change actually happens -Why it’s pivotal to explore the absence of a central decider inside our mind -How experience shifts from identified mind to an open, learning mind -How a radically different approach to addiction can reveal the truth of what you are Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

Every day I speak to people who have intense fears. It can be in any area of life: fear of public speaking, of driving, fear for their health, fear of dying, of not having enough money, of being rejected, and all other areas of life. What they're wanting, and what I wanted so desperately when I was in the midst of my public speaking phobia, was for the fear to just be taken away. But the absolute irony at the heart of fear is that the desperation for it to go away is exactly what's keeping it in place. So what do we do to break this vicious circle? Let’s find out in this episode. What Is Covered: -The dual core of many mental health problems including fear, anxiety and panic attacks -Why the fear won’t go away from the body and mind and what to do about it -How to understand fear as a gift and start questioning the constructs of the mind -The connection between fear and the projections of our identified mind -How to start shifting your mind away from control and towards curiosity and freedom Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

Trauma is a distressing event that we can't cope with; that the body-mind system in that period of time doesn't have the capacity to assimilate, to recognise what's going on within the body in relation to it, or to talk about or find a way through it. Often these traumas happen during childhood, because the child is completely dependent on the caregiver for their survival. And if there isn't the support of the caregiver for the child in that moment to deal with the frightening event, that trauma becomes part of the body and of the superpowered child’s mind. So today’s topic is a very big and important one - how past trauma influences our perception of reality, and how, through healing, understanding and integration, our traumas can become superpowers of sanity, compassion and freedom. What is Covered: -How trauma creates a lens through which we see everything -Why our experiences can never be reliable -What indicates that the past is projecting onto our present experiences -The importance of support when dealing with past trauma -How to find peace, freedom and authenticity in our past experiences Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

Our mind is so powerful that it is literally able to cut itself off from reality. It believes whatever it is conditioned to believe. So all the suffering and unhappiness that we’re experiencing, for many of us comes from a deep fear, deep insecurity, a sense of lack, and the shame at the heart of not living up to expectations, of not comparing well to the people around us, and of having habits, addictions and emotions that we can't control. In this episode, we’re going to explore how we can better understand this struggle, how it draws attention to the incredible power and creativity of our mind, and the freedom of realising these things. What is Covered: -Why the mind is our greatest asset -How the misunderstanding of the power of our mind creates suffering and unhappiness -The conditioning of our mind and why the problem and the solution can never come from the same place -How to recognise the conscious and the settled mind -What spirituality is really all about -How to become more curious about our experience of suffering and struggle -How to start gaining mental freedom and align our mind with reality Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

What do we really mean when we talk about a superpowered mind? A superpowered mind is completely sane, completely in reality, with full access to all the data available right now, as well as all the resources of that individual's experience, including the experience beyond the personal, in the nebulous space of the universal subconscious. This is all our birthright. The human mind is designed to be like this. So in this episode, we’re going to dive into the superpowered mind and how to start releasing its full potential in three stages. What is Covered: -Why we’re struggling to access our superpowered mind -The three stages of realising the mind’s full potential -The lost mind and why it’s absorbed in suffering -Personal patterns, recognition of our conditioning and ongoing struggle -Impersonal accountability or the liberation of the superpowered mind -What it means that “there is no doer” and that “the perceive is accountable” Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

Let’s start with the most fundamental aspect of the origin of existence and experience of existence - the nature of the human mind. So, what is the mind? A simple question which we might not have ever inquired into, but which unlocks the entire understanding of ourselves and of reality. Everything begins with that question. In this episode, we’re going to dive into what the mind is, the two aspects of it, and how the brilliance of the human mind sometimes becomes our downfall. What is Covered: -The two aspects of the mind: the conscious and the unconscious -How the conscious mind works -What the identified mind is -What the subconscious mind is and how it manifests -Are we really making our decisions and choosing our actions? -How we can better understand the brilliance of the mind Resources: -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind bit.ly/podcastsubliminal -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

Welcome to the inaugural episode of my new show, Superpowered Mind! This weekly podcast is for enquiring individuals who are tired of the struggle for peace, happiness and clarity. I'm Clare Dimond, a certified coach who has worked with thousands of people around the world and the author of nine books on the mind and its potential. I am also an NLP trainer, BA Psych, MBA, yoga and meditation teacher and master hypnotist. I’m ready to help you explore the principles of the mind, the self and reality to unlock ultimate mental freedom. Every day I speak with people with exceptional minds, who are highly intelligent, creative, imaginative, and very able to problem-solve and to think analytically. The one thing that these people have in common is some degree of struggle or suffering that shows up in their lives - whether in their relationships, career, finances, health, habits, their community or in their sense of being. With my years of training and experience in helping the mind settle into its innate well-being, intelligence and creativity, I support individuals and groups in a deep exploration of where that struggle is coming from. Because always and without fail, the struggle and suffering come from an attempt to find peace, freedom and happiness where it cannot possibly be found. Our minds are brilliant, but the brilliance of the mind and the struggle go hand in hand. It's my absolute privilege to untangle the misunderstandings, the insanities, the beliefs and the confusions, so that the mind is genuinely set free. On this show, we're going to look at all the different elements involved in the confusion and in the liberation of the mind. If you're ready to experience the capabilities of the Superpowered Mind, keep listening!

A brief summary of this episode

In eastern practices anger is at its heart an energy of clarity. How does this relate - if at all - to our conversation? @⁨Clare⁩ . Is anger justified? I have read that it is the force that moves the world

I recently listened to the Driving Fear post on SAFE Day 11. I too have moments whilst driving where I fear swallowing the wrong way, choking and losing control of the car. It only happens sometimes, maybe when i become aware of myself. This swallowing thing happens at other times too, maybe if out for a meal, or if someone asked me something and it requires a lengthy answer, or in the company of many. My question is how can I best deal with these situations of choking and self obsession? Block it out or push through like i always do and regard myself as lucky it didn't happen? I have swallowed the wrong way many times and it's the most awful scary experience. At times when I haven't been worried. By pure accident rushing around. All experiences I panic because windpipe is blocked and I'm suffocating. It's horrible even recalling it.
