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. If you feel a resonance with this opportunity, I invite you to learn more and register. Heart-earned wisdom This week's practice Wishing you a fantastic rest of the wee! From my heart to yours, —Gabriel PS. When you're ready, here are several ways I can support you on your journey. |

Hello Reader, For thousands of years, across spiritual traditions worldwide, the human heart has been recognized as far more than a physical organ. It’s been revered as a sacred center of divine consciousness—a place where our humanity meets the divine, where wisdom beyond the mind can be accessed, and where our deepest transformation begins. Yet in our modern approach to meditation, this profound dimension of the heart is often overlooked or forgotten, leaving many spiritual seekers with a...
Hello Reader, Have you ever noticed how your phone has become less of a tool and more of an extension of your body? The subtle weight in your pocket that you check for instinctively. The screen that lights up your face more often than the sun some days. I certainly had—and it troubled me. Not because technology is inherently problematic, but because I sensed something valuable was being displaced in the constant digital exchange. Connection. Presence. The quiet space where creativity and...
Dear Reader, Recently, I came across a story that deeply moved me and challenged my assumptions about spirituality in our modern world. It’s about a teenager who loved pizza and video games, coded websites in his spare time, and is about to become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint. This is the story of Carlo Acutis, who wore jeans and Nike sneakers while creating a digital catalog of religious miracles before succumbing to leukemia at age 15. His life wasn’t extraordinary because...
