When lens of our thoughts is clear, we perceive reality as it is. But when it is tainted by toxins, we end up experiencing poisons we carry within.
Life has become complicated. People have too much to do and not enough time to do it. Some people hold jobs that require long hours and too much responsibility. We may be in the middle of completing one task when more deadlines for other tasks land on our desk. Feeling we cannot meet the deadlines, we work overtime. In addition, constant barrage of emails or text message alerts interrupt us and consume our time.
Our schedule of taking care of a family like an air traffic control. We run from one chore to the next, driving our family from one activity to another, and can barely catch our breath. On top of work and home, we must take care of our health, finances, relationships, community responsibilities, and other duties. The result is living in a constant state or pressure and stress. There is barely time to take a break.
This continual multitasking and rushing to meet deadlines reach a point where our mind is so filled with stress that our health and well-being are affected. Mental toxins color our worldview and how we experience life. Our daily life is colored by our mental outlook. If lens of our thoughts is clean, we perceive things as they are but if our lens is tainted by toxins, then we experience those very poisons in our lives. As a result, we may suffer from unhappiness, stress, anxiety, and fear. When these reach an unbearable level, it can cause us to experience depression, hopelessness, helplessness, and panic attacks.
The secret to gaining control over ourselves is — meditation. Researchers who record brain activity find that our brain waves measure from 13-20 Hz when we are involved in stressful situations. In meditation, brain waves register between 5-8 Hz, a state of deep relaxation.
The technique of meditation is safe and natural. One can practice anytime and at any place. Meditation is accessible 24/7 as the light and sound current reverberates within each person. The practice involves sitting comfortably, closing one’s eyes, and focusing one’s attention within.
Closing your eyes keeps you from being distracted by outer sights of the physical world. Keep your eyes focused gently in front of you and look into the middle of what appears within. Keep gazing horizontally, focusing about eight to ten inches in front of you into the middle of what appears in front of you. At first, you may see either darkness or light, flickers of light, pinpoints of illumination, flashes of light, circles of luminosity, or light of any color, such as red, orange, yellow, blue, green, purple, violet, white, or golden color.
These lights are a reflection of lights of inner realms. By gazing deeper into the middle of that light, you can tap into spiritual treasures within and enjoy profound peace, joy, bliss, and happiness unlike any found in the external world. The mind becomes calm, and in turn, calms the body.
When we practice meditation, control flow of mental toxins, we feel better physically and mentally. This incentive of feeling good motivates us to repeat being in a happy frame of mind so we can take control over toxins that affect us physically.
