Letting Go for Good Mental and Physical Health
13th March 2008
We undergo various experiences - both good and sad. Dwelling on those experiences strengthens them. So, thinking about or reliving the good experiences makes us feel happy. While, conversely, reliving the sad experiences makes us sad.
It is human nature to dwell on the negative or sad experiences for longer than normal periods. Let us try and understand the phenomenon from the energy viewpoint. When we have a sad experience, negative energies are generated, which are deposited in our aura. The aura grows smaller to the extent of the intensity of that experience. Reduction in the size of the aura is the reason that makes us feel unpleasant and sad.
Every time that we think about or relive the sad experience, we generate more negative energies, which deposit themselves in the aura, making the aura smaller and us sadder. As is our wont, we do not easily forget our sad experiences and continue to relive them for years together. And in the bargain we continue to give strength to that particular experience.
The stronger the negative energies grow, greater is the hold that they start exercising on our thinking pattern. We start to predominantly think negatively. The aura starts to hold more negative energies than positive, which leads to mental and physical ill health. That is the reason we are told to think positive. Positive thinking helps generate positive energies so essential for our mental and physical well being.
Forgetting Sad Experiences
The way to rid ourselves of sad experiences and the resultant accumulation of negative energies is to ‘let go’ of the experience right away. There is no point in hanging around something that is no longer required. So, close your eyes, take a few slow deep breaths, think about the sad experience one last time and ‘let go’. Letting go involves the release of the experience from your system. Just relax yourself and visualise the whole episode being released from your system. After the final goodbye, resolve not to think about it again.
Letting go is the key to good mental and physical health
