Meditation is one of the most effective practices to help you achieve inner peace and calmness. It reduces the day’s stress and allows you to remain composed through the many situations you encounter at home, work, and in social life. Meditation is spiritual medicine that creates a positive condition between your mind and body.
Most importantly, meditation allows you to release the complicated web of thoughts that crowd your mind and achieve victory over the mind’s repetitive nature.
Meditation is difficult in the beginning because of all the thoughts you want to avoid running in. Thoughts about regret, blaming, shame and hurt are always present in the background of life, and now when we are quiet, the limiting thoughts seem more abundant. Everyone has the rushing thoughts in meditation.
A method to deal with critical thinking is to listen, witness and feel the thoughts but don’t judge them again. I say don’t judge them again because the thoughts looping in the mind were judged at one time, that’s why the original thoughts, feelings, and experiences repeat-they are unresolved. You want to witness thoughts and don’t attach any narrative to them. Allow thoughts to be present and
- Extend kindness to yourself
- Accept yourself
- Forgive yourself
- Respect yourself
Another method to conquer overthinking in meditation is to focus on one positive word. For example, peacefulness or fearlessness and keep repeating the word repeatedly. Add to this deep, rhythmic breathing where you fully concentrate on your breath and then can imagine the word peacefulness coming either into your heart or up the nose to the sixth chakra.
