Tuesday, April 29, 2025: 8:17 AM: Without realizing it, in 2017, I unknowingly set out on a journey of self-discovery that has reshaped my life. Up until then, I understood that meditation, self-hypnosis, and a shift in mindset could make life more manageable. However, what I’ve come to learn is that changing myself can influence the world around me in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

One of the most profound changes I made was incorporating meditation that lowers brain frequency into my daily routine. In June 2017, I began using the Silva Centering Exercise, developed by Jose Silva, which helps achieve deep relaxation while maintaining heightened awareness. Research on Alpha brain states supports the idea that meditation can improve cognitive function, emotional well-being, and even social interactions.

A surprising effect emerged—on the days when I meditated before leaving my apartment, drivers were noticeably more courteous at crosswalks. This transition from chaotic roadways to a calmer, more considerate atmosphere was even noticed by Newton, NJ crossing guards. Over the years, I’ve heard more than once that traffic stops for me way more often than for the Crossing Guards. This sparked an idea: if meditation could change driver behavior, could it also improve my relationships?

For years, I had sought healthier connections, but I realized that the key wasn’t in others—it was in what I radiated. Research suggests that mindfulness and meditation contribute to greater emotional intelligence, better communication, and deeper interpersonal bonds. By shifting my internal state, I began attracting more positive interactions with others.

Then, starting in January 2025, I received an intuitive push to deepen my meditation practice by integrating emotions into my sessions in a way I hadn’t previously considered. Although I had suspected since the fall of 2023 that working with emotions at Center was critical to transformation, I didn’t fully understand how to implement this concept effectively. Now, I am refining a technique that aligns my internal state with my external goals, minimizing the gap between my true self and my public image.

As someone on Social Security Disability Income and self-employed, I have faced challenges in proving my capabilities to potential clients and employers. My mission has always been to change perceptions surrounding blindness, but the real struggle has been gaining visibility when the audience I aim to reach isn’t paying attention.

Through meditation and emotional awareness, I’m working to shift how I am perceived, using self-transformation as a catalyst for change. Studies show that self-awareness and mindfulness can significantly impact personal effectiveness, resilience, and even how others respond to us.

Although this approach is still in its early stages, I remain committed to refining it until it works uniquely for me.
