Creative Visualization
The incorporeal (non-physical) soul, situated in the centre of the forehead consists
of three energies. Although each energy can be given a different name, it is actually
the same energy, the soul, functioning on three different levels at the same time.
These are the mind, which is the thinking faculty (energy) of the soul; the intellect,
which is the decision-making and visualizing faculty (energy) of the soul and the
personality characteristics, commonly called sanskaras.
In the practice of meditation, on one hand, the mind is used to create pure, positive
and powerful thoughts or affirmations based on the basic qualities of the soul like
peace, contentment, happiness, love, joy, power, etc. Along with that, the intellect
is used to create visual images of the same thoughts, which is called creative visualization.
This process brings about a positive change in our sanskaras. This is the
basic principle used in the Rajyoga meditation taught by the Brahma Kumaris. Creative
visualization may be used in various ways to experience true relaxation of the mind.

Message for the day 16-06-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
With benevolent feelings and good wishes we can free people from worrying.
Projection: When we come across someone who is faced with a difficult situation
because of which he is worrying, we too usually tend to think about it. Instead
of helping the other person to be free from worrying, we too begin to worry. This
doesn't help either of us in anyway but only adds to the negativity of the situation.
Solution: We need to develop such benevolent feelings for the one who is
going through the situation that the power of our positive feelings will spread
to them too. It will act like the light of the lamp, which helps to dispel the darkness
around. Only when there is positivity in the mind will they be able to think of
some solution.
