Which daily habits can help you keep a clear and positive mind?

Anubhav Jain

Walk and think, whenever your mind compels you to dwell on a thought or analyse a scenario, walk and think, if you can’t walk, don’t think, make it clear to yourself that you will sit idle, let things happen on their own, ignore matters of importance but not think if you aren’t walking, when you sit or stand idle, you can only rest, meditate, or act. And when you walk, you try to understand, bring clarity and decide for disturbing thoughts. This is an excellent way to have a controlled thinking mechanism.

Nothing is separate, not people, not minds, not positive and negative circumstances, everything originates from one source that keeps expanding, everything is purposeful and relevant to your life and is here for a reason, a positive intent influenced by your reaction. Associate nothing with a specific reason, people or situation, everything originates from the universe created through countless mediums, even if there is hatred or anger towards you, it’s been created for a reason, it’s a test, act that way, don’t take it on your me, or don’t accept it as other’s ego. Daily meditate on this though for half an hour in complete peace and silence.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

Start with a small niyam, for a month, but be firm and determined. Choose anyone, leave sugar, fix sleeping time, or quit any negative habits, and you will see that your attention shifts from other negativity overwhelming your mind to the patience required for discipline. Weekly fast works really well for me. It helps in having gratitude for food, detoxifying the body, improving concentration and focus, developing inner strength and shifting focus from repetitive negative thoughts or overwhelming circumstances to controlling hunger. Nothing is bigger than a starving stomach.

Focus on restoring a peaceful state after every active episode in life, and also on not disrupting that state unnecessarily. The reason to disrupt your maun must be worthy. Whatever happens, a conversation, an argument, or any activity, focus on being in peace beyond that, turn silent, focus inwards, be mindful, be in solitude, and rest your mind. This will not only give your mind a break but will also help it comprehend life deeper and better, it will encourage learning and give wisdom, it will bring you at peace and break the chain of frustration.
