[Following sources are picked up from her you tube sessions]
1. Guided meditation experience by BK Shivani-
In this session, she teaches about experiencing the soul within our body. To experience the soul within us, follow the steps by Sister Shivani-
(i) Close your eyes & focus the centre of your forehead.
(ii) You'll see a shine i.e. point of light. This is your soul.
(iii) Now, speak the positive words and sentences about you in your mind like the few given below and keep repeating-
- This is the energy coming out of me & spreading in the surrounding.
- The peace I was finding outside me is present within me itself.
- Peace is my own nature & vibration of peace is coming out of me & spreading all around in the universe.
- Keep saying these type of things to vibe your mind and soul in a positive way & keep meditating.
2. Listen to your intuition for all the answers-
"No matter what the negative situation is going on in your life, never share it with anyone", says BK Shivani. She said it because if you share your problems with others, they'll also share it somewhere by interpreting in their own way & that way may be more negative than the way you said. And so, by sharing your problems, you'll knowingly or unknowingly gather too much negative energy.
e.g.- Suppose if you're sick & someone asks you about it then, clearly say that, I'm fine and All is well. This is because if you say that I'm sick, I'm not well and things like this then, the next person will interpret it their own way and will say it to someone else & you'll get negative energy, negative vibes, and things like this.
Even, don't complaint to yourself that today I suffered from this problem, I have this kind of disease, not even about a small problem like my leg is hurting, I am having headache, stomach ache and many more. In short, don't make any negative perception about yourself, if you'll do so, you'll really start facing that same kind of problem because your body responds as per your thinking. So, create a very fine and good perception of your body in your mind. Always say to yourself that I'm fine, I'm well and only positive things then, you'll start feeling, even if you are not fine that you're getting well than before. So, just after waking up and just before going to sleep i.e. before starting and ending your day repeat the following words every day that,' I'm fine, I'm well & all the things going on in my life is well.' In this way, you'll create positive energy inside yourself and your surrounding & things will change to good, better and best.
3. Way to finish overthinking-
(i) Select only one reason that what problem is pushing me to overthink and start ignoring that problem.
e.g.- If you have problem that what other is saying about me, what are they thinking and why, then start seeing only the positive things in others and then you'll yourself feel that there is only positive things in that person because all the positive points are interlinked. Then, you'll not have tension of what others are saying wrong about me, you'll only see positivity in everyone and by time it will be included in your nature.
(ii) Forgive and forget:- If you get hurt by someone then don't take it to your heart just forgive them and forget that something like this happened to you.
(iii) Overthinking is directly proportional to negative thoughts. Positive thoughts can never create overthinking. Notice that if you talk of positive parts of someone after a certain time you'll end up with nothing else but if you talk of negative side you'll keep on counting, it'll never end. So, to avoid overthinking stop talking negative about someone.
(iv) One people one quality:- Just think of only one quality in every person. Never see the bad part about anyone. This way is really very effective and helpful in overcoming overthinking.
