Tackling the Past

 

Tackling the Past

Most of us live in the past because the past has a massive influence on our minds, certain incidents get stuck so badly in our psyche that we just cannot forget them. This reawakening of the past and recollecting the trauma and grief of the past invariably causes us terrific stress. We just cannot get rid of those memories. Every memory recall is opening up the wound afresh and reliving the pain and the anguish! Yesterday is alive only in our minds. The way to tackle the past is to create a great mental distance between those incidents of the past and the present moment.

You will most likely say – easier said than done! In a way you are right, but this is not a problem which cannot be solved. How will you create a mental distance between your past and your ‘now’? Every time some incident jogs distant memories, tell yourself – what has happened has happened, it cannot be undone, the only real moment is now – the present moment – and bring yourself mentally back to the present moment. Recall pleasant and happy memories in place of bad ones and soon you will find yourself putting a mental distance between the past and the now.

Meditation is a sure-fire way of living in the present – meditation under the guidance of a realised Master helps you turn inwards towards your soul. As you meditate with regularity alone and in the company of other seekers, you slowly start balancing your chakras, and with the balancing of your chakras your internal system gets harmonized with the universe – because what is outside is inside. This oneness with the universe in time quietens our mind to such an extent that the past literally becomes history – those bad memories get buried far away and your eureka moment comes – hey, the past no longer bothers me! Wow!

Do remember, meditation is a spiritual practice and it requires dedication and regularity to have a positive effect on your personality. Believe me your life will change for the better and you will turn into a completely new, calm, composed, happy, joy-giving person!
