“We define our Thoughts” or “Our Thoughts define Us”.
Thoughts influence our Dreams and Dreams turn into Reality. Thoughts make
us what we are and also govern what we may become tomorrow. We are shaped by our
thoughts and eventually we become what we continue to think.
Thoughts are a mirror of our mental and spiritual awakening. We
need to dwell on our thoughts as they are the source of our actions and future
deeds.
Our thoughts rule our life. If we can change our thoughts, we can change
our world.
Dreams are Reflection of our Thoughts
When our conscious and subconscious minds are active, they
translate into dreams. Often, we dream what we are thinking of or worried
about.
However, the sphere of dreams is much bigger than our thoughts. We
experience much more in our dreams. Dreams can go beyond our thoughts and can
give indications about our past lives and even about our future.
Dreams are propelled by our curiosity. This curiosity in turn
comes from deep thoughts. When a thought, deep in sense, creeps into our mind we
start to think about it. It goes into our subconscious mind that gets reflected
in our dreams and sometimes in our actions.
Sometimes dreams define our personality. It tells who we are from inside,
What we need, What we have and What we do. Hence, dreams are reflection of our thoughts.
Positive and Negative Thoughts
Thoughts that originate in our mind can be either positive or negative
that carry their own vibrations.
Positive Thoughts create positive vibrations that affects us and our surrounding in
a good way and it brings wellness in our life, may be sooner or later depending
on its power. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts,
events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.
When I am happy and gay, I would smile at whatever comes my way.
Even when I’m down and not so happy, some positive thoughts can reduce the
intensity of sorrow or grief and ease the pain, to help us smile back again!
Negative Thoughts are like slow poison which will show their result slowly but
surely a negative one. Overthinking Leads to Negative Thoughts.
Great men have said "always be careful of what you think, because
someday, it may come true".
During times of crisis like the ongoing Pandemic times, we are in
the phase of uncertainty and the probability of negative thoughts creeping in us
is very high.
These negative thoughts are not helpful in context to our life,
health, profession and other dimensions of our Life.
What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment
is now. It is our thoughts and acts of the moment that create our future.
Human Mind is filled with Drunken Monkeys
Buddha described the human mind as being filled with drunken
monkeys, jumping around, screeching, chattering, carrying on endlessly. We all
have monkey minds, with dozens of monkeys all clamoring for attention.
Fear is an especially loud monkey, sounding the alarm incessantly,
pointing out all the things we should be wary of and everything that could go
wrong.
Meditation helps to tame the drunken monkeys in our minds.
It’s useless to fight with the monkeys or to try to banish them
from our mind because, as we all know, that which we resist, persists. The
first principal of Meditation is that we should never make an attempt to stop our
thoughts but allow them to come and go without giving any importance to them. If
we spend some time each day in meditation, we can, over time, tame our drunken monkeys.
They will grow more peaceful if you lovingly bring them into submission with a
consistent practice of meditation.
Meditation is a wonderful way to quiet the voices of fear,
anxiety, worry and other negative emotions.
Also, sometimes engaging the monkeys in gentle, kind and loving conversation
can sometimes calm them down and transform our life. If the Fear Monkey is noisy
and intense, have a calm conversation with him and try answering all the
consequences of the Fears being raised by the Fear Monkey and our plan to
address the situation/circumstances. Talk to him about the worst scenario and
your plan to address the same. By the end of the conversation, Fear Monkey may still
be there, but he would have calmed down and we can get back to our life as
usual.
Learning to manage our monkey mind is one of the best things we can do to transform all fears and negative thoughts.
