Emotional Flooding #mindmade calamity

 "Thoughts of different colour, texture, pattern, taste and smell came but I simply sat down  and took a deep sip of air and it faded away Thoughts faded away but I am still here it means I am not my thoughts"

                                


                                Knowingly or  often unknowingly we get caught up in our emotions. Sometimes number of emotions spiral down in our mind and We get so attached to them, that it become  difficult to  separate us from our emotions.  And until we find out it was just an emotion, it had already consumed our  lot of time and energy. 

                              So, I would like to share my experience of how I got caught in emotional flooding and  the way I dealt with it. I was bored and lonely so I decided to go out for shopping but it didn't work out. Then sargasso of my emotions comprising anger sadness, loneliness caught me in. But I think I was blessed to experience it because It was the very first time I observed, it was just an emotion which came suddenly and flooded each corner of my mind temporarily and left as if the cyclone was dessipating. It was  not the first time that I recognised my emotion but It was the first time I didn't recognised it with me and this third party witnessing allowed me to know that my emotions are not me and they doesn't defined me.

So what I learned from this experience was

1) don't attache your happiness to any thing (person, object, place, etc) because happiness is not the thing it's the state of mind, which you can have anytime you want

2) Be aware :if you don't observe what's happening inside, your emotions can cause devastation like flood does, it will sweept away everything including your ownself. 

               

                          As I have talked a lot on flooding side of emotion now  I would like to tell you it's other side and that is contentment. It's good to have emotions like water in river but if it exceeds and  you recognised it with yourself, you will get caught in it.  when any natural calamity shows up, we give it a space, and it find its way out. Likewise when emotions shows up, give them space and they will find their way. Our emptiness is a magical place. 

          

                         Through this I just want to convey  that sometime doing nothing is all what we have to do.

Best Relationship Ever

Image
                            In now I realised there are three types of relationship between us and  our mind.they are as follows:- 1.Being slave of mind:-Living in a world created by mind and suffering from its thoughts  2.Master of mind :-Manipulating the mind to make it work for our own good and success.Supported by the books such as the power of subconscious mind,the secret and many to quote. 3.Dont mind :-detached from thoughts and be at peace.lord Krishna's philosophy of nishkam karma is based on it. The founder of Buddhism Gautam Buddha taught its application in simplest way.         Most of the time  when things fall out of control and plan goes off the road, we get  controlled by our mind .Until we find out that we are living in mind and nothing is happening in real ,it already has done its work;  yes you are getting it right anxiety takes over...

Death The Reminder

Image
                         As we grow older we start to take our life so seriously that it culminates into stress, anxiety and worry replacing our childhood innocence, joy, happiness and curiosity. This happens because while living our life we forget about our death ,that one day we are going to die. This is depicted in a really phenomenal way in the movie named  'SOUL', which shows what it means to be ready to live ,which Joe Gardner realises after getting into coma (Nearly dead) . It is said that death is the end of life, so how could it be different from life, rather Death is a  part of life. Life is life because of  death. Death makes the life Complete. It gives the real meaning to the life. So to fully live the life it is most important to understand the death. But nobody introduce us to the death, even our family, society and school don't talk about the death, and  even if they do, they talk about i...
