Entheos : Second ExpressingAwareness.com Principle
At ExpressingAwareness.com, the second principle revolves around the concept of Entheos, derived from the Greek word meaning “spirit within.” This principle emphasizes the importance of harnessing the internal fire that drives passion and enthusiasm rather than relying on external sources of motivation. In many, this inner fire lies dormant, buried under the pressures and challenges of life. However, when ignited, it can sustain and energize, enabling one to live fully and with genuine enthusiasm.
Understanding this principle requires deeply exploring three key concepts: freedom, the law of cause and effect, and the law of harmony.
Freedom: The Power of Inner Choice
Freedom is a fundamental human need, evident in the countless struggles for liberty throughout history. According to a Pew Research Center survey, 64% of Americans believe that defending freedom, even at the cost of personal safety, is crucial. However, the battle for external freedom often pales in comparison to the inner struggles we face against the passions of the mind—anger, vanity, and other destructive emotions. These internal challenges act as gatekeepers to the untapped treasures within our hearts.
Achieving true freedom requires mastering these inner passions. This kind of freedom is more enduring and powerful, enabling us to access entheos, the spirit within. Without it, finding genuine enthusiasm is nearly impossible. My role at ExpressingAwareness.com is to guide you toward making choices that align with this freedom while ensuring these choices are constructive and beneficial.
Cause and Effect: Reflecting on Our Inner World
The law of cause and effect is another cornerstone of the second principle. Our thoughts, words, and actions create a reality that mirrors back to us. Ignoring or misinterpreting this reflection can lead to frustration and stagnation. According to a study published in Psychological Science, individuals who are aware of this cause-and-effect relationship tend to achieve greater success in personal and professional domains.
By consciously guiding our thoughts and actions, we can break free from repetitive patterns and create a new reality that aligns with our goals. At ExpressingAwareness.com, I assist clients in identifying these patterns and making informed choices to change their outcomes.
Law of Harmony: Aligning with Your True Self
The law of harmony suggests that we experience what we are in alignment with. For instance, a person who is in harmony with health will naturally gravitate toward behaviors and environments that support well-being. A survey by the National Institutes of Health reveals that individuals who maintain positive mental attitudes and harmonious relationships have a 50% lower risk of developing chronic diseases.
To truly change, one must align internally with the desired outcome. For example, those wishing to lose weight must shift their internal self-image to one of health and fitness. Without this internal alignment, any external change is likely to be temporary. At ExpressingAwareness.com, we focus on helping clients transform their internal states through meditation, multi-sensory goal setting, and other holistic practices.
The EXPRESSINGAWARENESS Process
ExpressingAwareness.com was created to address serious issues such as obesity, chronic disease, and mental health challenges. Consider the following statistics:
- Obesity: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2 in 3 adults (68.3%) in the U.S. are either overweight or obese. Among children aged 6-11, 1 in 5 (19.6%) are obese.
- Cancer: The American Cancer Society reports that 1 in every 2 men (47%) and 2 in 5 women (38%) in the U.S. will develop cancer in their lifetime.
- Diabetes: Data from the American Diabetes Association shows that 1 in 10 adults (11.3%) aged 20-65 have diabetes, with 1 in 4 adults (26.9%) over 65 affected by the disease. Alarmingly, over 79 million Americans are pre-diabetic.
- Heart Disease: The National Institutes of Health states that 81 million Americans suffer from heart disease, the leading cause of death in the country.
New clients at ExpressingAwareness.com are introduced to these principles in a structured, step-by-step format. The process is designed to help them recognize and address the root causes of their health challenges, using the tools provided to ignite their inner enthusiasm.
This journey is not for everyone. The first month is often the most challenging, with 2 out of 3 clients finding it difficult to continue due to the intensive nature of the program. However, those who persist are offered a complimentary, obligation-free period to explore whether the ExpressingAwareness.com principles resonate with them. This ensures that clients are genuinely committed to leaving the past behind, embracing peace of mind, and fostering enthusiasm from within.
Are you ready to embark on this transformative journey and discover the entheos within you?
