Traffic Control Of The Mind

Traffic Control Of The Mind

Thoughts create our destiny. So we cannot afford even a single wrong thought. To program the mind with right thinking patters, we can pause for a minute after every hour to give it rest, and charge it with few powerful thoughts. So whenever an external negative situation unfolds, we don't need to consciously create right thoughts. The mind automatically starts thinking right. What is your idea of unwinding or rejuvenating your mind - is it a weekend getaway, detox, shopping or lazing around? They all do feel great, but don't they seem too far and few? Having good mental energy is a daily necessity, not a random luxury. Practicing self-care and rejuvenating the mind takes just a minute after every 59 minutes. If we don't do it, our mind can get tired with creation of several wrong thoughts and emotions. Regular rest and recharge help our mind function to its full potential. After every hour, pause for a few seconds to check if your mind is fine. If it is disturbed, counsel it. The mind understands and calms down. It learns which thoughts are right and which are not. Also revise the day's affirmations. This cleans the mind, charges it and prepares you for the next hour. Regulating the traffic of thoughts is easy and effective, and needs only 60 seconds to return to peace and happiness. Follow this and see how efficient your mind remains throughout the day. 


Remind yourself every morning that you are a powerful being. Remain stable, calm and happy in every situation. Take care of your mind. Your mind takes care of your body, your relationships, your work. Pause every hour for a minute to regulate the traffic of thoughts. Whether you are at home, at work, or anywhere, withdraw from whatever you are doing, check your thoughts, check how your mind responded in the last hour to people and situations. If there was any hurt, worry, confusion, anger, clean the mind with the understanding that you are a pure soul. Happiness and peace are your nature. Acceptance and not expectations are natural for you. No one can hurt you, understand they are in pain. Influence every situation with your stability. Everything is perfect and will always be. These thoughts empower you to go back into the scene being powerful and protected. Practicing 30 minutes of meditation in the morning, one minute of traffic control of mind after every hour, 10 minutes of meditation in the night will keep you energized, at home, at work, and even after returning home at evening.

Message for the day


The one who is open to learning always finds an opportunity to learn and change.


Expression: 
Life has plenty of opportunities for the one who wants to learn. Each situation and person that comes one's way is an instrument for a new learning. Constant learning brings about a deep internal change and progress in one's life. 


Experience: When I am able to learn from all that happens, I am able to be content for both what I have learnt and the change that I have been able to bring about. This contentment also keeps me enthusiastic and my mind open for further learning. I naturally become an embodiment of what I have learnt.

The 7 Days Course Of The Brahma Kumaris (Part 6)

The 7 Days Course Of The Brahma Kumaris (Part 6)

A common question asked by newcomers to the Brahma Kumaris is that why we cannot just learn meditation and why do we need to attend all the different sessions of the 7 days course, which explain the spiritual wisdom. This is because some of the new souls are searching primarily for peace of mind and happiness through meditation and want to experience freedom from stress and increase their inner strength to face life's everyday problems by practicing meditation. The answer to this question is very simple. Unless we understand the complete wisdom of the soul, God or the Supreme Soul and the World Drama clearly, we cannot connect with God in meditation accurately and we do not deeply realise the importance of meditation and how, other than filling us with peace and happiness, it also purifies us and cleans us of all of our negative sanskars, which have accumulated in the soul over many births, since the Copper Age. Also, we cannot experience the spiritual relationship between the soul and God correctly and deeply, which is required for good quality and beautiful meditation. 


There are no charges for the 7 days course and the only thing you have to spend is your time of 7 hours and these 7 hours will transform your entire life and increase its quality in all ways – mentally, emotionally and physically. This is because you get answers to all your questions related to spirituality, spiritual wisdom and the Law of karma and you learn how to lead a pure and positive lifestyle. You also come close to God and start remembering Him in meditation after knowing Him completely. Anyone who is interested in undergoing the course, can contact their nearest Brahma Kumaris centre, which is like God's spiritual home, where God or your spiritual parent will give you the key of spiritual wisdom, which will change your destiny forever and eternally.

Message for the day


To be a teacher means to touch the heart rather than the head.


Expression: 
Teaching others means being subtle and explaining in such a way that the mind opens because the heart has understood. The one who truly teaches inspires rather than just becoming the one who teaches others. There is a recognition of the positivity that is in each one and so no comparisions are made with others. 


Experience: Once I am able to look at the positivity in another individual and have the pure desire of enabling progress within that person, I am able to feel the love for him. This is like a parent's love whose love for the child is that which makes him grow. So I become a teacher who inspires rather than the one who teaches.
