Dear Bodhisatva,
Its good to see you here....and thank you very much for your compliments on the pics......
Well, i agree with you in your statement of 21st century, in this time space(21st century) and the pace & complexities, it is indeed tough for us to monitor and control our thoughts...especially when humans are proved to be having thousands of thousands thoughts in a day..but lets take a look at what we are learning and have learned...if u have read The Secret, they have also emphasized the power of NOW..your thoughts create emotions....and u have only 2 emotions...feel good emotions and feel bad emotions..it is such a beutiful mechanism or nature that GOD has given us...we always have to remember that we are in touch with our'Inner Being' or 'Higher Self also could be called 'Source'...and our Inner Being works in harmony with us..it explains and lets you know by giving you the emotions...and you can monitor your thoughts...lets take a small exercise here..today, just monitor your thoughts and define the emotions that it gives you..write down if possible how many thoughts that has give you good emotions or feeling...and write down how many of them have given you bad feelings or emotions...and then you can analyze your thoughts...and you can allign yourself with the power of Now....the power of Now says monitor your thoughts everytime....so if you have a bad feelings or bad emotions, it is caused by a negative thoughts...so immediately create a thought, a pleasent thought or think of something that has pleased or pleases you.or even think of something you dearly want,and think about the end result....and you will feel better and have good emotions....so when you put this to practise, it will soon become your habit...i say from there , you would really feel joy and fun...
I was a difficult person....life always seems to be in a mess...but then when i learned this secrets that lies entrenched in myself, i realized that whatever took place in my life is all the cause of my thoughts....it is revitalizing when you think about it and you realize that it is true...it is true that thoughts create your life...it is not a myth or just a blind motivation...it is the power of the Universe.....it is the Law of Universe....to be honest i started applying it since last week, and i am expriencing the miracles..i mean expected miracles..this method has finally create more faith and believe that i can now attract whatever i want..be it small or big...i now i will attract it and it will be mine..........this is the truth....controlling and watching your thoughts may sound foolish and ridiculous ....but i find it extremely easy after the 3rd day of practising...., breath focusing meditation for 15mins does help to calm the mind and install clarity in thoughts.....it is not neccesary for you to invest or find time to practice this...simply do this when your doing your daily activities....i do it that way too....and when at home...before i go to bed, i sit and close my eyes and focus on my breath to feel relaxed...and then i say affirmations on what i intend and want...i visualize and feel the feeling that i would when i reach my goals or dreams...and then i go to bed peacefully....
