I am back now. I have more energy and balanced mind. It was miraculous healing of mind. The secret of mind control is to engage your
mind in something non-trivial thing. If you can teach your mind to focus on
breathing, sensation, chanting or any other form of task. It sharpens its
ability. You develop habits of concentration. When I look back to those ten
days at Vipassana Centre. It is a life changing experience. When we calm our
mind and teach it to be quiet and equanimous then it definitely helps you to
reduce emotional stress. I was suffering with unwanted emotional stress. When I
am saying that I am positive thinker, it means that I am able to look at the
positive output in any situation. It helped me to analyze and understand the
biggest myth or lie which I kept telling myself. I am positive thinker. The
truth is that I am not negative thinker. A person who is at the edge of
positive or negative attitude, they fall prey to negative emotions very fast.
It happened with me since last two years.
How you can control your conscious mind and get control of
your subconscious mind? Our mind is very delicate, it is constantly trained
through all sensors which we posses such as eye, ear etc. Conscious mind
collects data and transfers to subconscious mind continuously. Our reasoning
ability is built over the period of time. However, this reasoning ability can
be changed very easily. Most of the time, it is changed with any small event.
My experience in that 10 day course was wonderful. First three days were
annoying. I kept on struggling with unwanted memories and thoughts. It is
challenging task to force your mind to concentrate on certain task without
remembering or thinking about any other thing. The second challenge is to
develop the ability to sit for long hours. How wonderful it is to think that
both these challenges are only linked with your mind! You have to be determined
and patient to overcome both these challenges. Within three days, I was able to gain control
of my mind to certain extend. I was able to sit for 1 hour without moving. I realized
that we work based on what we tell our mind. Before starting meditation, I told
my mind that I have to sit for 1 hour. Once that hour was finished, I could not
resist to change my position. I told myself that I will do 5 rounds of a task
and then I will stop. I did not count it. I realized that it automatically
forces me to change the position after 5 sets. I started defining non-time
frame task. It helped me to improve my seatting. Its profound realization that
what you say to yourself or others has deep impact on your performance. We know
this very well, it was demonstrated to myself.
