Kumari Davie here.
Today I'm going to talk to you about how to stop your mind.
The only way you can stop the narrative in the mind is to resolve the commentary.
What rises in the mind is what's unresolved.
It's as though the mind is talking to itself.
It's debating choices,
Comments,
And experiences.
It's a constant stream of delirium.
But what is rising isn't new.
Although it might seem like yesterday's conversations,
It's based on old,
Unresolved,
Emotional situations,
Most probably from childhood or adolescence.
It could seem like there's no remedy to what you're thinking,
But there are ways to heal.
Here are some quick fixes.
Distract the mind.
Repeat mantras or long prayers to keep the mind focused on something else.
Give prayer beads.
They help keep the mind focused.
I see the mind grooved from repeating the same thoughts over and over again.
It's like a vinyl record album.
To change your mind,
Pick up the needle and move it to another part of the mind and think something totally different.
A more permanent way is to locate the original emotional situation and talk it out.
What's helpful here is forgiveness and letting go.
Let's say you're angry at your mom for something.
This happened when you were a kid and of course you had no recourse.
You couldn't get up and leave or even talk to her about it.
Or you had a fight with your sister or your brother and it never was resolved.
To heal,
You need to go back in time and resolve what the mind is saying and talk out the impasse,
Back to the original pattern.
How did it make you feel when your mom yelled?
Perhaps you felt stupid or angry.
Acknowledge the feelings.
Pretend your mom is there with you and talk out what you want to say to her.
It's not necessary to do in person.
I encourage people to get a picture of the parent or sister or brother or boyfriend or girlfriend and put some place in the house and pretend they are in the room with you.
Now start talking out your grief.
Yell at the picture.
You can throw things.
Get out your frustration.
I've said this before,
There's no new anger.
It's all old and unresolved.
But you'll need to be honest with yourself.
Try not to justify anything.
Justifying says mom did the best she could.
Yes that is correct but it doesn't help help you heal.
She's not the cause of your issues but you're holding energy toward her.
This is why I encourage people to get pictures.
Scream out your frustration at the pictures.
I do encourage people to get angry but not to take it out on others or themselves.
Punch a pillow.
Scream in the car or the shower.
Hit the ground if necessary with a bat but get the anger out.
The past is done so stop holding on to it.
You can't change what happened.
However you can change how you feel now.
When you hold on to anger for any length of time,
Especially longer than a minute,
It takes its toll on you,
Especially the liver and the gallbladder.
Then anger leaks out inappropriately to others.
You will resolve the thinking when you resolve the issues in the mind.
If anger isn't the issue then talk out whatever your mind is saying.
Resolve it and you'll stop the looping.
Also weak kidneys and spleen contribute to a looping mind.
So get some acupuncture and be kind to your kidneys and drink clean purified water.
Thank you and namaste.
