Exercise To Remove Blocks In Your Mind

Try this exercise. Notice how when someone tells you something or you see something, how quickly your mind thinks it understands it. That is the problem.

We must catch that reaction, stop it and remember that we can never know the true depth of what is behind a person's words or actions or any event.

This exercise will help you remove blocks in your mind that prevent you from being truly open-minded and intuitive by removing the automatic habit of living limited to your fixed opinions, if you do it consistently and long enough.
