How to Turn Negative Thoughts into Positive Resonance

There are so many people who have negative thoughts and are plagued by negative thinking. These negative thoughts create fear, anger, and agitation and there is seemingly no apparent reason for these thoughts to occur. Everyone who has this habit must try to learn how to stop it and must try to bring on a more positive way of thinking.

When a fearful thought comes, the first step should be to reason it out. Is it a meaningful thought or not? If it is, without panicking take care of it in a rational way. If you know it is a useless thought, don’t try to analyze it. Stop thinking about it. Sometimes people can be angry with you, because you didn’t meet their expectations. In such a circumstance remember that we don’t have to do everything for everyone. Don’t feel guilty or angry, instead be fair and honest. Remember you know so much more than others. Be patient with them. They don’t have the knowledge that you have.

In our life time, each one of us as humans, experience fear, anger, envy, sadness, insecurity and many other negative emotions and thoughts. These thoughts turn us into fearful people with doubts and insecurity. All these emotions and thoughts cover our real, beautiful inner nature.

We all created in the image of God as Adam in the Bible. And God is within all of us. God’s nature is loving and kind. We are all souls. We have to make a habit of letting the fearful negative thoughts go out from our system. It is important for good health, as well as spiritual living.

All these negative thoughts can lead to chronic anxiety and depression. Our bodies are connected to our minds. Depression and anxiety leads to stress on your heart. It’s important to remember that love can heal and stress can kill. The choice is ours. But it’s not easy to stop at once. Try everyday slowly to condition yourself into a more positive and constructive way of thinking.

How to Be Happy In this Life
Remember that we are physical and that it is not easy to be perfect. But remember that we are also souls and hence we are immortal. We always have God’s great energy (Holy Spirit) within us. It is the path to our happiness.

How does happiness come? Happiness can come from within. It’s not what others think and talk about you. Jealousy is indeed a poison to the soul. Prayer also helps. It deepens the faith. The result of the faith is love. Love one another as God loves each one of us.

Remember also to live in the present but not the past or future. The past is over. The future is not yet here. Plan for the future but don’t worry. Worry again brings anxiety and other problems. If you cannot forget the past and its related worries, it means that you will bring health problems to yourself. Don’t worry about past memories. They come and go. Don’t give too much attention to them. Try to come out quickly from such worrisome thoughts. Below is an explanation of how you can release yourself from such worries.

Reaching for God’s Help and How
Through meditation and visualization you can reach God. Healing will occur. Through meditation and prayers you will get happiness and peace.

Again take time to realize that you are not a physical body alone. You are a soul and divinity is within you. It’s God’s gift for all humans. So your true nature is spiritual. Meditation can heal you. Meditation really can result in miracles. It will calm you down and bring peace to your soul. In the quiet of the silent mind, the meditator begins to become an observer. Success at meditation will not come right away. It needs practice and concentration. It gives you enlightenment. You can use the meditation listed below as an example.

Meditation
Close your eyes gently.
Take a few deep breaths.
Imagine that you can breath in God’s energy and breath out the tension and stress from your body.
Let each breath make you feel more relaxed as you go deeper.
Give 15 seconds to relax the body. Now relax all your muscles.

Now relax all your muscles from face to toes, step by step.
Let go of all the tightness and tension from each muscle of your body.
When you relax your entire body from your face to your toes, your entire body goes into a state of deep peace.

Visualize in your mind’s eye or feel a beautiful light above your head, or an image of Jesus Christ. This light will deepen your level of peace within you and heal your body. Now let the light flow into your body from top of your head through to the toes of your legs.

Let the light (Holy Spirit) light up your brain and heal you from head to toe. This beautiful light flows in your body like a wave of light touching every cell of your body with peace, love and healing.

Now stay still for 15 seconds and imagine or feel the Holy Spirit (light) completely surrounding your in and outside your body. Feel it even if you feel sleepy. But don’t sleep.

When you are in this relaxed and quiet state of mind, imagine yourself walking in a beautiful garden you have never seen before. Imagine you are walking with Jesus or angels, holding their hands and under their protection. Then feel your body filled with Holy Spirit and continue to heal your mind and body, giving peace to your soul. While you are in your relaxed state, if you see or experience anything you will remember everything. You can experience all levels of your multi-dimensional self, which is your body mind and soul. So remember you’re greater than your body and mind. One thing I’d like to say is that in a spiritual way the imaginary world is the real world.

The important thing to remember since we are in our physical body is to take care of our physical being. Take your medication and do your exercises regularly. But most importantly, remember that your soul needs help too. When you can’t control your negative thoughts, relaxation and meditation and prayer are very important to finding peace and healing. The best meditation is one, which brings you out from negative thoughts to happiness.

God bless you.
