It takes a while for people to believe that
we can heal ourselves in many ways. Because we are responsible for making
ourselves ill in the first place, we have also been endowed with self healing
powers. Some terminal cases have been healed , too. Two cases that I know of
with terminal illnesses cured themselves just through a few hours of pranayama
per day.
The fact of the matter is , our thoughts
and emotions when starting to deeply embed within ourselves are what manifest
later. Negative emotions arising out of negative thoughts are the core reason
for a gradual
Deterioration in health.
People ask me how any “ normal” person can
stop feeling hurt or sad or depressed or angry at some time and in some
situations. Sure ! True. But it is one thing to feel it momentarily and another
to let it fester. Instead, it is healthier to let it go. Any emotion that is doing
harm instead of good cannot be acceptable.
If relationships you have valued get
affected, if restlessness and guilt sets in, if peace eludes you and thoughts
crowd you each second, you haven’t started walking towards the path of light.
Become aware of the patterns and
stereotypes you live with and don’t hesitate in asking for forgiveness,
forgiving yourself and erase any memories that are painful, knowing they are
just your perceptions. Give the benefit of doubt . And let go , let go. How
many times ? Well, all the time. Holding on will harm you. It will bring
illnesses you don’t need anytime soon , in fact, not at all.
So, relax. Have a “char minar,” as the
saying goes.
