Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Beloved Shree Ma & Swami, Namaste! I was wanting specific remedies or rituals for dealing with negative thoughts quickly. Can you all help me here, please? The mantra SATYAM SIVAM SUNDARUM has had partial success. Actually, I haven't used it much, but only some. I intend to discover a mantra, technique or remedy that will GET RID OF NEGATIVE THINKING for GOOD and use it. Perhaps something that would transmute these negative thoughts instantly OR give them to the Beloved Earth where she would feed off of them & transmute them Lovingly for us all. Peace & Blessings to All associted with Beloved group. Om Namah Shivaya! Light, Mikael ------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you all help me here, please? Namaste Mikael, I will forward your question to Swamiji but here is my understanding based from my experience Regular sadhana changes one's outlook . It completely changes the way we interact with the world. From "how can I get something out of this situation" to "how can I be of help?" I have seen the way my thoughts change from when I do sadhana to when I stop doing sadhana. So the trick , I believe, is to keep doing sadhana. The sadhana that I have most beneficial to me is chanting the Chandi Path. Swamiji has said that Chandi is "She who tears apart thought", and so it could be a practice that you might want to look into further. Please do post if you have further questions . Jai Maa Nanda ------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prema Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Vanakam Mikael, In my experience a quick remedy for dealing with negative thoughts is focus. Focus your self by meditating, chanting or even listening to devotional songs or music. That's it. When your mind is focused in such things, automaticly you will feel some positive energies in you. I feel it in form of believe in god and me. I believe 'he' won't let me down; won't ignore me. So, i believe 'him', believe me and then anything that-s negative will vanish just like that. Try your self. Anbe sivam. prema Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhadrakali Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 sincere sadhana helps in concentration and taper off bad/negative thoughts.I believe, 'fear' or 'lack of confidance' are some of the factors leading to 'negative thoughts'. Along with 'sadhana' one should be 'true' to him/her self - and should try to keep away from 'anger' / greed / ill thoughts for other. With all these, the efficiency og mind would be maximum which then offers many alternatives to 'problems'. jai mata di Prashant [bhadrakali] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
