What is Illuminated Mind?

The purpose of Illuminated Mind is to bring clarity. When your mind is illuminated you are able to pull the weeds from your mental garden. Illuminated Mind is about finding freedom; from what we’ve been conditioned to think will make us happy. My desire is to share with you perspectives that are empowering and come from your integrity. Illuminated Mind is about empowering beliefs, ones that help us gain freedom and energy, rather than deplete it.

Who is Illuminated Mind?

Hi, I’m Jonathan. I believe attractive ideas cannot be stopped. If those ideas are based on truth and expanding awareness, they’ll snowball.

I’m also a regular writer at Zen Habits and a member of the Brazen Careerist network. I thrive on learning and spreading the inspiration virus. Personal growth to me has no ceiling. If you’d like to know more about how I became inspired to pursue personal development, read here.

I’m a husband, proud father of a two year old Shih Tzu, vegetarian, graphic designer, musician, seeker of truth, and basic dork.

In case you’re wondering, I don’t have any formal qualifications that make me any more of an “expert” on personal growth than the next person. I don’t have a degree in psychology, I’m not a certified life coach. In the past year, I have managed to change a lot though. I’ve read countless books, blogs, and articles on personal development. But most of all, I’ve aligned my heart and mind. I’ve tapped into my integrity and authenticity to follow my own uncommon sense. I’ve made a lot of positive changes in my life which you can read about here.

A little more info about me:

Status: Happily married
Children: Sofie Aiko, the most lovable (and rambunctious) Shih Tzu.
Interests: Drumming, writing, didjeridoo, graphic design, collecting ideas and making people think.
Movies: What the Bleep Do We Know?, Quills, Waking Life, Peaceful Warrior, The Usual Suspects.
Music: Tool, Radiohead, A Perfect Circle, Sia (too many to list)
