4 Unconscious Aspects Controlling Your Life (And How to Master Them)
|
April 1st, 2025 | Granada, Spain Dear Reader, For years, I maintained a façade of confidence while battling persistent insecurity and self-doubt. Despite understanding my patterns intellectually, I kept repeating them. The more I tried to fix myself, the worse I felt. The breakthrough came when I discovered it wasn’t about fixing myself, but integrating four hidden aspects within me that had been running my life for decades. As Carl Jung wisely observed, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.” In my latest article, “Self-Integration: 4 Unconscious Aspects Controlling Your Life (And How to Master Them),” I share:
If you’ve noticed yourself repeating patterns despite your best intentions, this might be the missing piece in your personal mastery journey.

As always, these YouTube Live sessions are a chance for us to connect, say hello, and unify our hearts in meditation. Whether you're a regular or first-timer, come experience the feeling of inner calm that emerges when we practice together. Can't make it? The recordings will remain available on my channel afterward. Something I learned recently… Did you know the music you listen to can literally change your heartbeat? Studies show that fast, upbeat tracks (like pop or EDM) can boost your heart rate like a mini-workout, while slower tunes (think classical or jazz) help calm it down. This happens through entrainment—a phenomenon where your body’s natural rhythms (like heartbeat and breathing) sync to external beats. For example, research found that listening to Beethoven’s fast-paced Symphony of Fate raised heart rates by ~7 BPM, while his slow Moonlight Sonata lowered them by ~3 BPM. Even more surprising: your favorite songs might spike your pulse more than tempo alone predicts, thanks to emotional arousal. Curious about the science? Check out this study on how classical music influences heart rate and mood. Are you ready to awaken the Heart Warrior within? On April 10th, I'm beginning a new cohort of the Heart Warrior Bootcamp – a 12-week journey for those ready to heal emotional wounds, break free from limiting patterns, and reclaim their authentic power. The journey includes weekly live coaching sessions, foundational courses, a private community, and powerful resources to support your transformation.

From my heart to yours, —Gabriel PS. When you're ready, here are several ways I can support you on your journey. |

Hello Reader, “What’s your passion?” This seemingly innocent question has become modern society’s favorite way to induce existential panic. The moment it’s asked, many of us feel that sinking sensation—like we’ve failed some essential life test because we haven’t yet discovered that magical interest meant to guide our entire existence. I’ve wrestled with this anxiety throughout my life. For years, I interpreted “finding your passion” as a mandatory treasure hunt—as though somewhere inside me...
Hello Reader, Have you ever been completely captivated by someone, only to wonder months later what you ever saw in them? Or perhaps you’ve had the disorienting experience of a partner suddenly claiming you’re not the person they thought you were—even though you haven’t changed? Most of us have experienced the bewildering moment when the veil drops and we see a relationship clearly for the first time. This jarring awakening often leaves us questioning our judgment, wondering how we could have...
Hello Reader, Have you ever noticed how the question “Are you living up to your true potential?” can fill your chest with immediate anxiety? It’s meant to inspire, but instead, it often paralyzes. Most of us carry an undercurrent of anxiety about whether we’re doing enough, being enough, or living up to our potential. This nagging doubt follows us through major decisions and quiet moments alike. It shows up when you speak up in meetings, when you consider changing careers at 45, or as you...
