Description

“Good Omen” are small bracelets used in meditation to train focus. It is a powerful tool for beginners to train their minds. The essence of focus in relation to the mind is like a magnifying glass for the sun. Just as the magnifying glass directs the sun’s endless energy to one point, focusing the mind on one thing allows for deeper understanding of the object of focus. The bracelets are used to “count” with the fingers,  while repeating a prayer, mantra, affirmations, or words that resonate the most with the individual, so the mind can practice maintaining complete focus. 

In its simplest form, all brain cells work in networks connecting with each other, forming patterns. If one of them has a neural impulse, it will, light up all neurons conneced to it, will, if subconscious, travel along pathways with the strongest connections, creating loops of experiences that one travels through repeatedly. Loops of learned ideas and patterns in our minds.

While many of them are good, like good habits, family connections, and the warmth of the world we create, there are also darker ones, created in our subconscious by parents, society, and messages from giant corporations that bombard our subconscious every day, many not even knowing where the ideas they harbour came from, or they subconciously acting them out. 

When the mind starts to travel down this pathway, but is intentionally redirected back to the mantra, you are pulling the neural impulse back, stopping it from following the same path, weakening those connections in the mind-body and releasing the energy elsewhere, so you can create your own inner world, which then shapes the external, with the power your mind has to create itself, and choose and reject.

This has proven to be a magic tool for those who have experienced a lot of trauma and mental disorders because there is a direct correlation between the amount of trauma we have experienced or our ancestors have experienced, and the mental patterns we inherit. Focus training is the most powerful tool to reprogram the brain and weaken those connections, and the bracelet and your mantra serve the purpose of directing that consciousness to a timeline or center, a happy place that you can always return to if you fall too deep into the holes of the mind, replacing empowering thoughts instead of breakdowns and spiraling suffering that accompanies it when the mind repeatedly falls into the same painful memories.

This is especially beneficial as one of the tools for people with addiction disorders, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and various mental illnesses stemming from how trauma has created disruptive patterns, but it is also suitable for professionals and athletes or other competitive individuals who want to excel in what they do.

What does the science say?

Research on the effectiveness of mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioral techniques, such as using a mantra or focusing on a physical object like a bracelet, have been shown to help individuals reduce symptoms of addiction and anxiety by promoting greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and stress reduction.

Studies have demonstrated that practicing mindfulness can lead to changes in brain structure and improved executive functioning, which are essential for overcoming addictive behaviors and managing anxiety. Additionally, incorporating cognitive-behavioral techniques, such as reframing negative thoughts or using grounding exercises like the bracelet and mantra, can be effective in breaking negative cycles of thoughts and behaviors.

One real-life example of using this method to overcome addiction is by implementing the focus training techniques with the bracelet and mantra as a way to redirect and weaken neural pathways associated with addictive behaviors. By consciously redirecting the mind towards positive and empowering thoughts through repeated practice with the bracelet, individuals can gradually reprogram their brains to reduce cravings and break free from addictive patterns.

For overcoming anxiety, individuals can use the bracelet and mantra to create a mental sanctuary or happy place that they can easily return to in times of distress. By associating the mantra with feelings of calmness and security, individuals can use this tool to manage anxiety symptoms and reduce the impact of anxious thoughts and feelings. With consistent practice, the focus training can help individuals build resilience and cope effectively with anxiety triggers
