Yoga & You: How to stop negative thinking

hi you're welcome to all of you a

series which is all about questions and

answers we have our hand Sergey with us

who is the director of the Yoga

Institute thank you so much and Sergey

let me straight I've into the next

question one has observed that more

often than not people are focusing on

what would not work in their lives more

than hoping for you know the positive

things and wanting to project what would

work for them so how does one really

keep a control on this negative way of

thinking well understand one point very

well that Minds job is to think mind is

going to think now if you direct your

mind that thing these these things then

mind will go on it

if you don't direct your mind if mind is

free what will happen you know not that

free mind is devil's workshop mind is

going to go negative because that's the

best way mind would keep busy

so either mind will go in past or in

future worrying worrying what will

happen or past this happened that

happened how you suffered in life and so

on so forth you can't change your past

you don't know anything about future you

are supposed to remain in present

now this little discipline we should

always have if anybody finds that mind

is thinking negative maze he is free he

is not doing his work he is not giving

any work to his mind okay because mind

is free so what you are supposed to do

first form a habit that whatever you are

doing keep your mind there and do

because we are very clever we think we

can do 10 things at the same time so

what happens you are eating and thinking

about something you are brushing and

thinking about something now this this

integrated personality is going to

create problem so what you should be

doing when I am brushing I should really

attend to each and every tooth of mine

see to it that I take interest keep

purpose in mind that what why am i

brushing to keep healthy

keep that in mind and brush well become

highly present to a completely present

physically here mentally somewhere

emotionally somewhere don't behave like

that we should be in present with

holistically body mind emotion intellect

everything should be present in the

present tense now when this mind is

there then there are no chances to go

negative now okay you have observed that

mind has gone little negative

immediately bring it back because

negative mind is not creative mind it is

destructive mind mind functions in five

different ways one very logical way what

we call is from an logic scientific way

of putting things across but there are

many things which are negative in

scientific way it can't be always

positive second type of mind is very

unscientific mind just believes or don't

go on this road otherwise it would be a

chaos this road is known for accidents

it's accident-prone Road Noah BA don't

talk like that

unscientific mind blind faith absolutely

blind faith assumptions these things

have to be discouraged third type of

mind is imaginary mind you imagine here

is a baby girl now you start imagining

what will happen when she grows how much

money I will need you just go on I know

one lawyer who got married much later

maybe at the age of 55 he got married

and on his marriage day we couldn't go

but then after 3-4 days when we met him

we found that he was sitting absolutely

morose very worried looking down

calculating something we said what has

happened right now you are married four

days before you I we've thought that you

will be joyful and fine he says no it

looks like that things are so bad now in

future now at this says if I get a child

what will happen then education studies

Oh child may not be so healthy because

we are old and his entire list was so

much that

says I can't earn that much money now

I'm about to retire and the worry and

worry nothing else you imagine and you

go down you expect the worst

already yes why can't you think good and

I know that that lawyer died at the age

of 70 he had no child or anything but

that time he was worrying he had good

time 20 years with his wife but no

issues that's the whole problem with us

we imagine we add more deep impression

of negativity in sleep when you dream

also impressions go deeper subconscious

mind is active so there you have to be

careful and then fifth is what you have

experiences like memory in your memory

you have many negative things happening

in your life so all those things are

there with you somebody came somebody

because of somebody you got cheated you

trusted him but you were cheated now

whenever you would come in front of me

my mind would go negative that fear is a

person because of whom I suffered

immediately mind will go neck and you

have that opinion which is stuck in your

head salutely so we form opinions we

hold on to our past you don't think that

okay after you cheated how much I have

become smarter how much I have

progressed that we don't keep in mind

what we keep is because of you I

suffered so we have to train our mind

Yogi's say that human mind needs

training otherwise it is going to go

negative so let's follow this path Yoga

talks about all these things it that

talks about breath these chitta

and Ruthie's you have to totally stop

this negative thought because it is

harmful it is not creative so work on

yourself and it would everything would

be fine thank you so much energy like

you saw it's in your hands to have your

thinking guided by your own direction

like she is given a lot of pointers on

how you can keep a watch on your

thoughts and

really have a shift from negative

thinking to leading a lot more positive

life thank you so much

you
