Welcome to Personal Development mastery podcast. And this is another snippet of wisdom episode, where I select my favourite most insightful moments from previous episodes of the podcast. Today's snippet of wisdom comes from my conversation with Sophia Vasiliou, who is a Holistic Therapist and shamanic practitioner, the snippet I chose to play for you is about understanding how your beliefs and perceptions create your reality. I hope this snippet of wisdom is us insightful for you, as it was for me.

I was attending a lecture by Dr. Bruce Lipton, last year or so. And he was showing a paper from modern psychology journal, which says, you know, we used to think that seeing is believing. But now research is really showing that believing is seeing. And the perception of reality is more important in our experience than what's actually there. And, you know, for me, that was just mind blowing. You know, with the Psych-K work that I do, which is about reprogramming the subconscious beliefs, you know, I understood that, but just hearing it in that way, was just, you know, a real wow moment, you know, like that powerful. And guess one way of explaining it would be you two people having, you know, a similar experience, you know, one's afraid of dogs, and one loves dogs, and a barking dog runs up towards them. Now, one goes into a terror response, and one goes into a growth and happiness response. Now, there's nothing different there, except their perception of what that dog is. And yet, they're having a completely different physiological experience, you know, they've gone into fight or flight or into growth and repair, one's heart is completely open, one is shutting down their immune system and getting blood to their limbs to run. And so actually triggering, you know, small DNA changes. Because environment not safe need to do X, Y, and Zed to make me stronger. And so you know, the cognitive functions shift, and so the decision making will be instinctual rather than creative. And there's no difference between what's happening and the external perspective. So even though the outside reality can be exactly the same, your perceptions completely changed the event. And, again, this is where we realise every, you know, many people say, you know, oh, you're not the centre of the universe, you really are the centre of your universe. Because your perceptions filter your reality completely. And so, you know, the way I see the world is completely different to anyone else. And no one else would exactly be able to understand the way I perceive this external reality. You know, it's like one person has red glasses on and someone else has blue, someone else has violet, you know, they'll all see roughly the same thing, but from a completely different colour range. And then when you change your belief, it's like you change from blue to red. Like, whoa, I never knew the world could look like that or be like that, because it's always been always been blue.
