Catching and transcending negative emotions
I did my kriya just outside, on the terrace for the first time. It was a bit noisy, and perhaps I also held back a little during my AUM chanting. It doesn’t affect the vibration though in an adverse way; sometimes I can feel or find it more when I do it more quietly. I didn’t even wash my face and drink water this time; neither did I give Cirmi food; I just went outside and started my practice.
I feel great, I feel appreciative and grateful. I am also rested. Based on the past days, it could be a challenge to maintain this state altogether. But my past doesn’t determine my future. My intention is to pay enough attention to maintaining this state, especially the calmness and gratefulness. I think it’s crucial that I catch any sign of negative emotions at the very beginning, at least in its thought-form, and don’t give it energy by vocalising it or even nurturing any negative thoughts into a downward spiral. This is my main intention today. If I do this, it serves me well and maintains feeling great and in a good energy. I am not my job, I am not the negative emotions (or emotions at all). I am loving awareness. I am love, I am light. My true essence guides my life. Love and light lead my life.
I will reincorporate again the simple and powerful gratitude practice of thinking of 10 things (including my job) I am grateful for, first thing in the morning. Why did I even stop doing it? It’s another example for when you are well, you easily forget some of the things (nutrition, practices, etc...) that helped you create that wellbeing until you are reminded again.
