How to Become Light and Carefree

Written by Daaji

How can we live lightly as the world becomes more complex? It is important we find answers, and unless we do, we will not reduce our carbon footprint enough to allow planet Earth to sustain itself and for humankind to forge the most effective path to total wellbeing.

To start somewhere, behind all our pollution in the environment is human thought pollution. Anger and stress are two of the most common emotional patterns and compulsive habits that contribute to thought pollution. It is difficult to find balance, inner peace, lightness, and contentment when we are undergoing the effects of these emotions.

Anger

Anger does not need to be a negative emotional state, but very often we allow it to destroy our inner peace. It can manifest itself as a strong turbulence in the mind and body, physical dysfunction, an explosion of energy, aggression towards others, and loss of sensitivity and awareness. You will find a lot of wisdom about anger in the book, From Anger to Love.

As a first step, whenever you are angry, take a few minutes to release the turbulence and free yourself from the effects with this simple Heartfulness method:

Guided Ocean of Peace Cleaning

  • Sit comfortably and close your eyes.
  • Imagine that you are in a gentle ocean of peace. The waves are soothing and blissful.
  • Have the firm thought that you are immersed in this ocean of peace, and the waves are removing all your coverings.
  • Do this for as long as you can, but no more than 30 minutes.

Stress

We all experience stress at one level or another. Our lives are a continuous process of facing and solving problems and challenges, and sometimes it can become overwhelming. Prolonged uncontrollable suffering can negatively affect our well-being leading to wear and tear on the body. Lack of sleep, digestive problems, mental worry, negative thinking, loss of confidence and depression are all attributed to chronic stress. How to overcome such feelings of helplessness and constant challenge?

Research indicates that the real issue is in how your mind perceives and handles situations. Here is one technique that will help you anchor your mind on the higher plane of freedom. Accessing this space deep within your heart and staying connected with it throughout the day, will help to restore positivity and balance.

Guided Meditation to Reduce Stress and Restore Positivity

  • Sit in a relaxed position and gently close your eyes.
  • Make a subtle thought that the Source of Light in your heart is attracting you from within.
  • Rest your attention on that Light in your heart.
  • If you find your awareness drifting to other thoughts, gently come back to the idea of the Source of Light in your heart.
  • Feel immersed in the Light and try to become absorbed.
  • Remain absorbed within this deep silence until you feel ready to come out.
  • When you open your eyes carry on with your daily routine, continuing to stay connected with the heart.

Applying these two simples meditation practices in your life can remove heaviness from your system, become light and carefree, and reduce your thought footprint in the world.
