Exercises to achieve control over mind !

I came across so many programs when I went in search of an antivirus for my mind. I'll tell you the one that works on me very well...

Imagine you are floating in the middle of a lake.
Bubbles are coming out from the bottom of the lake and their force makes you sway.

The lake is your mind and the bubbles are your thoughts!
There is only one way to save yourself from these bubbles from drowning you!
Go to the shore! Then sit there and watch the thoughts!
Then you can see that the water in the lake is very deep. And it is made up of memories and experiences from your childhood.
It contains hurts from the childhood, abuse during your growth, experience of cheating and a many times broken heart!!!
You understand that these thoughts with deep emotional content comes from the child inside you. Your own childhood is speaking out its sorrows, its anger and all other feelings.

Yesterdays "childish YOU" is speaking to today's "mature YOU" through all these feelings!

How do we deal with this child?

Let him go ahead with his tantrum and let him break a few objects and wound a few persons?
Shout at him to keep silent and slap him good???
Give him some alcohol or marijuana or some other sedation?
OR........
Rather tell him lovingly that..... those incidents were needed to grow him up.....
Be on his side when he is crying out, but never cry with him....

when the rivulet of feelings springs from the inner child, usually everyone tends to flow along with it... But we should sit aside and let it flow.....and very lovingly and peacefully nurture the flow so that it safely reaches the almighty ocean!!!

Because then the inner child heals and we stop living in the past !!







The moment I feel that a very strong emotional Tsunami wave is coming over, I sit at a safe distance on the shore and watch it. I am not shaken by the wave. Rather I am evaluating how the emotional upsurge can be utilized for the particular situation. And I use my anger so that the anger plays the role that it was intended for but that anger does not effect me or the people around me badly! Because the soul is in control, not the mind!

Sometimes sitting on the shore, I find bubbles of unnecessary thoughts rushing up. Yeah my mind which was freely blabbering all these years, has come to know that I am planning to keep it under control. Like a teenage boy, it repeatedly does exactly what it is told not to do. Like an untamed horse which runs wild when I try to tame it, the mind is flushing all dirty thoughts out.

I don't respond to these tantrums! Coolly and calmly I acknowledge all the thoughts. I Lovingly nurture my mind because it's my own innerchild whom I didn't train properly! I Forgive my innerchild because its my childhood!

Now he knows that it is for his own good. He has calmed down. We are in perfect harmony. But it's his nature to go wild every now and then. Then I switch my higherself On. Everyday, every moment, every incident, every deal its on, off, on ......

After some months I've been awarded a degree...

'The master of my own mind !'

And I know this is just the beginning!!!
