Overcoming Fear and Negative Thoughts
Question from Roopa: I am practicing meditation and kriya from 2012 onwards, but still I am having fear, negative thoughts etc. How can I overcome from these negative emotions?
Our emotions can be experienced physically as a “broken heart” or “gut wrenching” grief or fear and numerous other manifestations related to any of the chakras. Our chakras and physical organs are linked energetically through the nervous system.
With regards to healing ailments caused by emotions, the first goal is to heal any disharmonious emotion itself. Notice what triggers the emotion and the physical sensation that accompanies it. Identify the emotion very clearly and ask yourself if you need to continue to experience it or if you can choose not to and let it go. This is very different than suppression which shoves the feeling inside and doesn’t allow any expression. Suppression will most certainly erupt outwardly at some point or cause a physical ailment due to the dis — ease manifested in ones body. It’s better to allow outward expression of a challenging emotion in a neutral setting than to hold on to the emotion or suppress it within oneself.
