Science in Positive Thinking

You always feel dull , frustrated , low when you aren't able to accomplish something that you desire, or cannot complete your work on time.
What do your loved ones tell you then?
"Don't worry, think positive, Everything will go well."
All of us have been hearing this 'think positive' , 'do positive' and many more adjectives for the word 'positive'.. I have been  coming across the same 'positive thinking' concept in different ways in the last few years.

I had read a book few years back , something about how to be successful and how to get where you want . Don't remember the title and author though. Bad at that! So basically the author conveys that if you want to achieve something or anything , think positively about it, keep picturing the happy end result in your mind , keep telling yourself that so and so will be done, or that you will do it. Then all the forces in nature works towards completing your work, meaning you will be able to achieve what you want.

Lately my mom, aunt and few cousins have been attending the 'New Energy ' Meditation classes. The concept in this class is almost the same. A person needs to think positively or picture what he wants during meditation. For eg: If you want to get rid of your migraines, you need to keep picturing yourself rid of the headaches. It's not just thinking, you should make believe that it is gonna happen. My mom who has been suffering from migraines has lesser headaches now. And its not just sitting cross-legged and closing your eyes to meditate, but you can also meditate as you do your own work. Like when your washing dishes, or cleaning, keep telling yourself that you are not gonna have headaches anymore. It isn't necessary that you meditate in your own favor, it can even be done in favor of others. So much in the power of mind.


I try to meditate.
Few seconds into it....
I breathe...
Breathe...
Dishes..
My baby's smile...
Dinner...
Skype...
Novel...
I breathe..
Hubby...
I breathe..
Wow.. I've  gottu work more harder on my meditation. It's so difficult to get the mind in control. Does this happen to you?


Few days back I completed  my favorite author Dan Brown's 'The Lost Symbol'. So in this book Brown speaks about Neotic Science which deals with modern science meeting mind and associated stuff. A scientist(a character) in this book researches on neotic science which is probably a very complicated thing to understand. She discovers that every thought has a mass. So if many people think the same thing, the totality of mass of such thoughts creates a force and works towards happening of what was thought. Something similar to what happens in mass prayers,  mass meditations and group healings. Of course the story in this book is fictional. But I'm just stressing on the principle what the author intended to convey in this episode.

My intention is anyway to convey how powerful  positive thinking is. So many books, so many people tell the same thing- to think positive, not to give up, keep up the will power and the world/nature will eventually work in your favor .There is so much of science behind this positive thinking. But of course it goes without saying that thinking positive alone does not materialize into anything . Hard work and belief in oneself should manifest our positive thoughts.

So think +vely always.

Buckle Up, Get set, Go....
