On our blog, we often discuss how to increasingly become aware of our emotions. This understanding is the initial step towards freeing ourselves from their control. When we can identify our emotions, it's as though we've turned on the light in a pitch-dark room. Until that moment, we continually hurt ourselves by bumping into various sharp objects (emotions) because we couldn't see them in that space (our emotional body). In today’s post, we will provide a simple technique that will help you distance yourself from negative emotions. As a result, this can prevent spirits, which are often attracted to negative emotions, from coming back to you.
The essence of this practice is to observe our emotions closely, paying keen attention to our mood in the present moment and comparing it with how we felt five minutes ago, an hour ago, yesterday, or last week. During this process, we learn to differentiate the sources of thoughts/emotions arising in our minds. We might be surprised to find that only a few originate from us, while most come from our surroundings—from people we know and strangers, from television, and those living on the same street, city, or country. They may even come from the spirits of deceased individuals.
Once we have somewhat mastered the art of recognizing emotions, the next step is to deal with our "findings." We must address them because recognizing emotions puts us in contact with them, and they are often negative emotions that increasingly take control over us.
Existence is structured such that higher levels control lower ones. Higher species control lower ones, and on a vibrational level—thoughts control and evoke emotions, which in turn control and steer the physical body. Thus, it's crucial to know how to influence our emotional and especially mental processes.
There are many tools for this purpose, such as the counting exercise. This exercise operates on the principle of changing the focus of our attention. For instance, when an emotion driven by a thought arises, instead of focusing on it, we shift our attention to something else, like counting in this case. The art of distancing oneself from a phenomenon (thought, emotion) always involves shifting our focus from one point to another. The mind always focuses on something, but fortunately, we choose what it should be. If we let it operate automatically, it often leads us not to the most beneficial or pleasant places.
Today, we would like to introduce another method for diverting our attention, which involves a very simple yet effective meditation. The ideal posture is sitting comfortably, although lying down can make it easy to fall asleep. We then focus solely on the air flowing through our nose, typically touching the upper lip and various parts inside the nose. This is the exercise/meditation. We observe how the air enters and leaves the nose.
Our mind, accustomed to wandering freely on various topics, will inevitably return to action and shift its attention to some emotions or thoughts. This is a natural response. Ultimately, most of us have never managed our mental process consciously.
The purpose of this exercise is not to think or feel emotions but to observe our breathing. When the mind reverts to its habitual thinking process, we should gently redirect our attention from feeling emotions and thinking to observing our breathing. We should do this every time we notice that our attention has drifted elsewhere. In this way, we start to stop our emotional and mental processes on demand. If we perform this meditation correctly, the first thing we will experience is a deepening inner peace because our emotional and mental minds will stop drawing our attention to selected topics (often negative). Our physical body will also stop reacting to these negative and often unconscious emotional reactions with muscular tension, which will also be felt as a sensation of comfort in the body.
As we start distancing ourselves from our negativity, our true Inner Being—wise, powerful, and above all, loving—begins to emerge. This is what we truly are—a divine being, which, in the process of incarnating, surrounded itself with energies of lower dimensions—mental, emotional, and physical, with the aim of subjugating them to itself. Experiencing our divinity is a wonderful sensation, which most of us have forgotten since infancy and early childhood, thus a period most of us do not recall. Practically, this will mean that we will gradually be able to free ourselves from the influence of negativity on demand.
We must add that this is not an easy task. Most of us, out of lack of knowledge and awareness, have allowed our mental and emotional minds to travel to any place selected by the mind through many past incarnations. Now, we will have to be very persistent in stopping these inner processes, but no effort ever goes to waste. It will accumulate until, one beautiful day, it results in longer moments of boundless peace and security, which are worth all the efforts.
The best time for such meditation is in the morning, after waking up, or in the evening, just before falling asleep (although it's easy to fall asleep while sitting). It is beneficial to go to bed 30 minutes earlier to gain this time in the morning. Initially, for the first week, we should not perform this exercise for more than 10 minutes. Then, each week, we can extend this time by 5-10 minutes. Focusing the physical brain on breathing can lead to fatigue and even severe headaches. In such cases, one must stop meditating as long as the pain persists. This is a serious sign that we must consider the well-being of our physical body. In no case should we allow ourselves excessive enthusiasm.
When observing the breath, it should not be controlled or coerced into any specific way of breathing. Whether we breathe slowly, quickly, shallowly, or deeply, we should simply notice it and do nothing else. The breath will naturally find its ideal rhythm during meditation.
Aside from acquiring the ability to distance ourselves from negative emotions/thoughts on demand, the "side effect," or rather the primary goal of this meditation, will be better recognition and ultimately freedom from negativity, or even from the spirits of the deceased if we have such an issue, and reconnection with our Highest Being, our divine Higher Self.
