How to Train Your Subconscious Mind to Overcome Unwanted Thoughts

This is a story that happened to me two years ago. My mom was suffering from depression and she was battling life and death in the hospital bed. But by God’s grace and the treatment the doctors gave, she eventually recovered. It was one of my life’s difficult phases that affected me mentally and financially. It was also the time when I got into Yoga; I looked up a teacher in Justdial and was fortunate enough to find a great Guruji who was more inclined to teach the goodness of Yoga rather than doing it as a money-making business. He is the kind of person who will be there for his disciples for any kind of problem at anytime we need him. He is good-hearted human whose only goal in life is to seek Mukthi and spread goodness around the world.

Everybody in life struggles daily in some way or other — they overthink their problems and often spoil their moods. Many people take a harder hit than others and fall victim to some kind of mental illness.

There is a simple and effective solution to this, i.e. practicing Samtva Buddhi Dhyanam. It’s a form of meditation taught in Yoga that any person can do for 10–15 minutes daily or weekly twice. All you have to do is just sit with Chin Mudra, close your eyes, and try to calm your thoughts. At any given time, thousands of thoughts race through our minds that distract us from being in the present. This meditation teaches us to react to our thoughts with the same feelings that they evoke in us, i.e., good, bad, happiness, anger, etc. Once you start practicing this, then you can handle even the most difficult problems in your life without worrying or seeking help from others.

Personally, I am able to get a grip on my negative thoughts and turn them into happy ones most of the times once I started practicing this form of meditation.

You don’t even have to seek help from others once you master this meditative state. “You can employ someone to work for you, make money for you, but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you”. This meditation will empower you to take on life’s challenges on your own.

I am not a doctor nor I can prescribe medicines for your diseases, but I can give you ideas to live an illness-free life.
