The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Your brain is always eavesdropping on your thoughts. As it listens, it leans. If you teach it about limitation, your brain will become limited...Teach your brain to be unlimited.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Our thoughts shape our reality; if we believe in limitations, we become limited, but teaching our minds otherwise leads to boundless potential.
This quote by Deepak Chopra emphasizes the power of our thoughts on our brain's perception of reality. It suggests that the subconscious mind is constantly absorbing the thoughts we entertain; hence, if we focus on negative or limiting beliefs, we may hinder our capabilities. Conversely, by fostering an outlook of abundance and possibility, we can unlock our true potential and achieve great things. The brain is a powerful tool that can be trained to expand beyond conventional limits.

The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.
I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.
