Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

Last week, we looked at one horrible question to ask ourselves in the midst of resentment: What is my equivalent? This week we're looking at an even more horrible question: What is the benefit? It is a horrible question because on the surface, it has the potential to be really dangerous. We need to understand its full power when we are in situations where there’s resentment towards someone or something. Is it possible that we might be benefiting directly from that situation? So in this episode, we’re going to explore why exactly this is a dangerous question, and how we can start using it as a tool for liberating our superpowered mind.  What is Covered: -The surface level and the deeper level of benefiting from resentment-Why resentment is an ego stabilising space-The possible hidden benefits of staying in situations of resentment-How to acknowledge choices that are being made in our present situation-Transitioning from hidden choices and unachievable wants to conscious and achievable ones-Why we should pose the question “What is the benefit?” only to ourselves  Resources:-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/

Today we're looking at one of the most powerful, humbling and liberating questions that we can ever ask ourselves. It's a question that comes into its full power in the moments when we are feeling resistance or resentment to someone. The question is: What is my equivalent? It’s a horrible question, because in those moments when we want someone to change their behaviour, the ego is having a field day. There's a full sense of me versus them, and it’s a wonderful place for the ego identity to hang out. But then in comes this question, which completely rewires our thought patterns and takes us somewhere new. In this episode, we’re going to explore that new place and become open to the possibility of changing how we experience ourselves and the reality.  What is Covered:-Why our ego identity enjoys being in the state of full separation-How do we start to default to “What is my equivalent?”-What equivalent really means and how we can recognise it in different situations-How equivalent can be a direct or indirect mirror of somebody’s behaviour-How to get into the space of understanding and compassion instead of separation-How the outside world starts to change when we change the concept of what we are Resources:-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/

Because we’re starting a new year, today we're looking at the phrase “New Year, New You.” You can see it throughout all of social media, all of the products, fitness plans, health kicks and diets - all selling the idea that you can create a new “you” through different behaviours. But is that true? Can going on a diet or giving up alcohol really make you feel like a new you? Obviously, any behaviour change, especially ending an addiction, is going to have a dramatic effect on the experience of what you are. But the most fascinating aspect of this exploration is - who is making that change and where does the change of behaviour come from? That’s what we’re going to consider in this episode.  What is Covered: -Who is “You” in “New Year, New You”?-Considering your body mind as a sensory form where all experience is happening-Why your needs cannot be met through any external program-How you’re creating a new you in every single moment    -New you as a field of pure potential-How to uphold your New Year’s resolutions effortlessly  Resources:-Discover the Freedom of a Quiet Mind: Transform Your Mental Health in January 2025 https://claredimond.simplero.com/page/589461 -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/

Discover the Freedom of a Quiet Mind: Transform Your Mental Health in January 2025 https://claredimond.simplero.com/page/589461  As Christmas is approaching, let’s dedicate today’s conversation to the greatest gift of all. There is enormous conditioning around the holiday season. It looks like at Christmas, we want to have all of the things we are told we should have - happiness, the perfect family, the right amount of attention and praise for what we do. We want to give and receive the right gifts that show us that someone knows us and that will make us peaceful, happy and joyful. But none of this is possible to achieve. Those are the unachievable wants of our mind. So what is it that we can give and receive instead, what would be the true gift of the holidays? Let’s find out in this episode.  What is Covered: -What is our fundamental want and why it seems to be unachievable -Why the holiday season can be particularly stressful and what is the hidden gift of that stress-Considering holidays as the time to “up the lab” of inquiry -How each of emotional turmoils can become a field of peak experience-Observing and recognising vs. wanting and achieving -The greatest gift you can receive at the time of holidays Resources: -Discover the Freedom of a Quiet Mind: Transform Your Mental Health in January 2025 https://claredimond.simplero.com/page/589461 -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/

Today, we're looking at the difference between peace and alignment, and the shift that happens when finding fake peace is no longer interesting. We have all experienced a strong urge and motivation to find and somehow keep our peace of mind. But if our entire experience of reality is based on our ego identity, on the idea of a separate “me”, it proves to be an impossible task. So why is that, that we try so hard to be at peace and simultaneously we end up further and further away from it? And how do we start to replace peace as a goal with alignment as an ongoing process?  What is covered: -How we usually understand the state of peace and why we struggle to “find” it-How to shift our quest for peace to the understanding of alignment-What true alignment is and how to recognise it-Understanding stress as a signal of a temporary lack of alignment-Egoic reality vs. actual reality-How we can test our sense of peace and alignment-Alignment as an ongoing work of confrontation with ego and the process of a true spiritual understanding  Resources: -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/

Efficiency is my favourite subject to talk about, because of my upbringing and what I've seen the people in my life having to do with very limited resources. When there are situations like illness in the family, one really needs to step up and become incredibly efficient to organise and run everyday life. Because I’ve seen that being done so brilliantly in my family, it’s a tragedy to me when we live our lives in a constant struggle and fight that is not caused by circumstances beyond our control, but is the creation of our own minds.    So how do we avoid that and cut out all the craziness, the dissonance, and the wasted effort of our mind? How do we streamline and orientate attention in such a way that we are continually ending that struggle and taking the big leap of efficiency? That’s what we’ll explore in this episode.  What is Covered: -How to draw a hard line between what is achievable and what isn’t-Recognising the difference between a sane and an identified mind-The incredible capacity of our mind for mental representation-The fundamental inefficiency vs. fundamental efficiency of our lives-How to nurture the power of recognising unachievable wants-Honesty that’s gained when we fully understand our wants  Resources: -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/

We live in a culture where we are learning all the time that our ego identity can be secured by someone else saying the right thing or doing the right thing to make us feel worthy. For example, if someone says we are beautiful or we are a great worker, it gives us a high like a drug. But the problem is that the high is temporary and it’s always followed by a crash, leaving us wanting more of the same drug. Depending on these highs to find any sort of stability creates an epidemic of mental ill health. And we keep trying to heal our fragile ego identity by looking for more of the same drug  to feed into this unsustainable system. So if nice words, praise and compliments aren't healing this fragile ego entity, how is it healed? This is what we are looking at in today’s episode. What is Covered: -Why it is that nobody can fill the sense of lack of our vulnerable ego identity-How we can approach compliments and nice words instead-What our idea of ourselves actually represents-What true healing is and when it can start taking place-The value of emotional turmoil and the meaning of shame-Healing process as the peak experience   Resources: -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/

Alignment is a word that we use quite a lot on this podcast and in this conversation. But what is really alignment and how can we recognise it or reach it? In this episode, we are going to look at alignment in three areas - dealing with misalignment to settle into the truth, behaviour changing as a result of understanding how our mind really operates, and the movement of intelligence and consciousness into the real world. And once we’ve recognised alignment and understood the perfection of the design of our superpowered mind, it’s a train that goes all the way, for the rest of our lives.  What is Covered: -How we can recognise misalignment in order to start moving into alignment-The design of our mind and why it believes and reacts to its own projections-How understanding of our subconscious belief system changes our behaviour-How to release our fears and replace them with freedom of expression-Inwards and outwards alignment-Alignment as an impersonal movement into the world  Resources: -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/
