How Realistic Are You About Your Trading Reality?

Trading Reality
Your trading reality is not what you think it is: As you all know only too well the idea of being “realistic” is favoured by the linear part of your dualistic mind, alas it is just one of the many tricks your fickle mind plays on you. The saying: “I am an optimist and a realist.” covers us against criticism and accusations of walking through life with rose tined glasses.

What if I told you though that walking through life with rose tined glasses on purpose is actually not only good for your brain but also does amazing things for you manifestation skills.

What exactly is realism?
Realism basically is an illusion. There is no such thing because cannot be understood everyone’s reality is different. Your experiences are different from mine and your conditioning is also different from mine, no matter how many overlaps in our views may exist on a superficial level.

Reality is not the figure you see in your bank account but how you react to it at a deep level. At best the reality you are experiencing is a take of the past. It is not a take of the future or the present, simply because you can only change something today, right now and not tomorrow.

The Oxford dictionary describes being realistic as accepting things as they are in fact and not making decisions based on unlikely hopes…

This explanation creates many a wrong idea because your mind doesn’t know imagination from reality.

The mechanistic Newtonian model that seeks to predict future outcomes clearly is totally incorrect. We know that amazingly your attitude today not only changes the future but also has the power to change your past.

How can this be possible?
When you let go of your story and collapse it back into the zero point field you are accessing infinite possibilities. In that place there is only consciousness and potential.

If you learned to use this insight that the science of quantum physics brought to us with many experiments, some of which I described in The Buddhist Trader, your life and your trading reality would change!
Reality exists not as a clearly defined linear process which can be predicted, the Newtonian model, far from being mechanistic in nature realty unfolds as infinite potentials in the zero point field through the act of observation. Translated to your trading this clearly means that YOUR attitude and your powers of impassive observation in the present are THE KEYS to being a better trader.

You must learn to observe not what “is” but you must learn to observe with intention and a soft focus on an outcome that is “loving” for you. In trading this means trading strategies that allow you to make money.

Our lives only exist because we repeat the same old stories day after day, hour after hour, minute after minute. What you expose your half asleep mind to becomes reality.

For most of us our trading reality is victimhood. For most traders it is losing money.

Making changes is daunting, because your brain will resist a new program with all it’s might.
The HeartMath Institute carried out a fascinating study on human’s ability to transform potentiality into reality. By this I mean creating measurable change. The study concluded that when we set an intention while also being in what they call “heart coherence” as much as 25 % of your DNA changes in as little as a few minutes of observation.

The study proved that how you observe the world around you creates change, not reality you live in.
Heart coherence is a tough thing to create because your mind is dominated by the linear, logical side of your brain. Not only do you have to learn to open your heart space, you also need to learn to get out of your own way and become no-thing, no-time and no-identity.

I know that sounds downright scary doesn’t it?
We find it tough to get out of the way. It creates stress and disharmony on the brain which spends most of its time in incoherence already because of environmental toxic overload and really doesn’t need more challenges.

I discovered some immensely powerful ways in which we can help our challenged minds to change without getting into dreaded overwhelm.

Eliciting changes in your trading reality in a neuro friendly way gets around the issue of resistance to change and fear of losing your identity.
Fear of losing your identity is a big one. It produces core existentialist issues hence asking your mind to change is probably the worst thing you can do.

A big obstacle to change and ultimately the attainment of your gaols is toxic energy in the environment because it pushes your brain into overwhelm. The brain and your entire body are under permanent stress because of it.

It is constantly fighting against the toxins and that’s before you can even begin to focus on your goals. Small wonder that so many of us are having challenges.

In order to make change easy you have to convince your brain that it is safe and can relax. A tall order in an environment overflowing with harmful frequencies, toxic substances in the air and in the ground.

Your brain entrains to the energy in your environment.
When your brain is relaxed it automatically resets itself to homeostasis, rejuvenation and renewal. The challenge we have is to actually physically get into that state of relaxation long enough to elicit positive change and entice the brain to make new neural pathways.

Passive observation creates changes in your trading reality, if you observe the things that are good for your chosen trading reality.
What if you could observe harmony and beauty in your environment instead of chaos and fear and stress?

If I asked you to stop watching TV and stop exposing yourself to negative news most of you won’t be able to do it, because it is too big a step.

Our brains react to visual impact.
Your brain takes in 25% of something it sees for the first time, and only approximately 3% of what it hears for the first time. No wonder that videos are so popular. They brainwash you without your conscious awareness. Each time you watch a video and hear the speaker the visual and auditory impact on your brain are 28%. That is nearly a third of your brain power that is being programmed mostly with rubbish. Each time you watch the news you are re-instating a negative program.

So, why wouldn’t you choose to use the strategy which clearly works, hence the world at large is so depressed from all the bad news out there, and produce something of beauty and harmony instead?

It is actually much simpler than you think, if you know where to start.
Most people look in the wrong place and then wonder why they are not getting good results. By far the quickest, smoothest and gentlest way to instigate positive change is working on improving your environment.

Working on your environment is such a successful strategy because it reduces the stress from environmental toxins, thus raising the vibrational frequency in your environment and it creates subtle visual stimuli that entice your brain to relax and enjoy pleasant surprises.

I explain exactly how all this works in the completely overhauled course the Holistic Feng Shui course.

Holistic Feng Shui works on your brain. The strategy creates balance and peace and makes it easier to do the things you want to do to improve your life. This might be better trading, better relationships, better health and more peace in the world around us. We all want these things. The reason we don’t have them is because most of us don’t have the strategies to create these changes. Isn’t it time that you started making changes with a strategy that works instead of numbly repeating the same old things you did yesterday?
