Metta State of Mind - Just Breathe

Carl Jung never published a single, official list called “the 5 traits of being awake”—but across his writings, lectures, and clinical observations, scholars consistently distill five core traits that describe what Jung meant by a conscious or awakened individual (someone advanced in individuation).

Alan Watts is often misquoted online as saying something like “Talk to yourself for three days and you will awaken” or “If you isolate and talk to yourself for three days, something profound happens.” He did not give a literal prescription like this. However, the idea comes from a real theme in his teachings, which gets simplified into a catchy phrase.

Dr. Dispenza encourages consistent attention inward—shifting attention away from external drama and toward personal growth. He often titles guidance as “Focus on Yourself Everyday,” highlighting self-leadership and self-transformation.

Carl Jung didn’t use the modern phrase “self-love” the way we do today, but his entire psychology is built around becoming whole, integrating the parts of yourself you reject, and forming a relationship with the Self that is grounded in truth, compassion, and responsibility.

Déjà vu is the strange, brief feeling that you have already experienced a moment you are currently living, even though you logically know it’s new. It’s like your mind whispers, “I’ve been here before.”

Carl Jung didn’t talk about “successful women” in the modern business or career sense, but he wrote extensively about feminine development, female power, vocation, and individuation. To understand Jung’s view, it helps to look at how he described women who become psychologically whole.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” This sounds inspirational, but Jung meant something deeper: Your destiny is not borrowed from parents, society, religion, or mentors. Others can give advice, but no one can solve the battle between the conscious self and the unconscious for you.

Wayne Dyer believed that the words “I AM” are among the most powerful words a human being can speak. To him, these words were not just affirmations—they were declarations of spiritual identity. When we say I AM, we are invoking the creative power of the divine within us.

When Wayne Dyer says “relax and trust,” he’s offering a profound spiritual reminder: stop fighting life, release fear, and allow a higher power—what he often called Source—to guide you. These three simple words carry deep wisdom about surrender, alignment, and faith.

Dispenza teaches that all possibilities exist in the quantum field, and that our internal state (thoughts + emotions) interacts with that field.

Maya Angelou (1928 – 2014) was an American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist whose life and words have inspired millions. Best known for her autobiographical work I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Angelou’s writing centers on themes of identity, dignity, resilience, love, and the human spirit’s capacity for transformation. She was deeply influenced by her experiences with racism, trauma, and personal growth — and her wisdom often carried a spiritual and psychological depth that spoke to universal truths.
