MIND HEALING

Peace of mind is a natural state. What disturbs the peace is the hurt. So heal the hurt and peace is restored. Accept and feel the emotions like a child. Do not suppress it. Let go your feelings in toto. After the let go, decipher as to what created the hurt in the first place. Children let go their feelings without inhibitions and therefore they are able to release their hurt totally. It is not wise to bury the emotions alive. Do not let hurt turn to pain and then to disease at the body level. Feeling of worthlessness is at the base of every hurt. Fighting or resisting what is happening and suppressing the inner hurt are self-destructive. Make a deal with the specific hurt feeling or upset feeling. Fathom what your mind says to you. Does your mind say that you are worthless, you are a failure, you are not lovable, and you are cheated by even God and so on. You will realize that the same feeling keeps surfacing again and again, even if you try to suppress or avoid it. This will reveal to you the truth about you. It is okay to be worthless, okay to be a failure, okay to feel discarded, okay to feel not good enough and okay to feel cheated by even God. As you start loving yourself for whatever you are, you will feel free from the hurt. The desire to be free from what hurts you is most important.

Fear is at the root of most of the mental affliction. You can meet yourself squarely and admit your fears openly. Use fear to guard you from doing wrong things in life. The fear becomes your motivator. The essence is to return to peace quickly, for which you must throwaway fears consciously by catharsis.

You feel as a victim when you decide that the universe has turned hostile towards you. You feel that God has been "unfair" to you. "What is the use of living" "Everything is lost" "No one is required". Such negative feelings will sap your energy. If you continue to refuse to take responsibility, you will continue to have the attitude of being a victim. More energy is spent in blaming someone else for what happened. "It is not my fault" The paradigm shift required is to assume 100% responsibility. "How did I invite this in to my life?" "I must contribute to more worthy causes and make my life a success". There is a purpose behind living. Can we come forward to reduce the distance and willingly help even those whom we hate or whom we do not know? Can we start by helping our neighbours? Have we not received help from them? Is it not time for me to help more than one neighbour?

What is holding us back? Do I have to look only at the pay off all the time? Can I not help others just for the sake of helping them? Ocean of life concerns will never rest. There will be waves. We must traverse this sea of life even against high winds and rough weather.
