I was also very happy to read what IAMOP wrote... coz this is exactly my experience. This is insight!! :yay: :bravo:

One thing one should always start off with, is to pray to Allah for help and guidance... ask and pray!
Focusing on gratitude is also a wonderful thing... it's not just a feeling, or state of mind, or acknowledgement... but it actually starts to change things in your life! Practice gratitude! The more you practice, the easier it gets and the brighter your life gets.

You would also like to recommend you to check this guy out:

The mind is not an uncontrollable mystery... it's like a machine that you can train if you know some about how it works!

Peace and good luck!

--- Quote from: IAMOP on June 30, 2012, 07:37:49 AM ---One way I have found is to simply remove negative stimuli. Out of sight, out of mind. I was surprised, as I became more mindful that I was subconsciously seeking out a lot of negative situations on purpose. Out of habit, out of familiarity, etc. Some people in your life build you up, others will drag you down whether they intend to or not. So let go of them and you will find yourself rising.

However the best way is to lose the power afforded to your mind. This site explains the process in great detail. Have a read through. Essentially, all your thoughts are like plants or seedlings and every time you give attention to them it is like shining light on them and making them grow.

Doing this to negative thoughts makes them grip you harder and this means you will focus even harder on them every day. So the only way is to relax your mind and let these thoughts wash through you. I have been practicing this in my meditations for a couple of months and have seen incredible results. One of the main annoyances with negative thoughts is that it feels like you have to think them and without being deliberately mindful you don't even notice this feeling. You don't even notice that you are basically addicted to thinking & feeling negative. It's like when you're thirsty and automatically drink some water without even noticing. But unlike water, you don't HAVE to think negatively. And realising this feels like the biggest weight off your shoulders, it is so amazing. Hope this helps! And please do read the link, there is so much amazing wisdom on that site.

The #1 thing is basically, gratitude. The more you look out around the world and find things to be thankful to God for, the more these thoughts will dissolve away. It might take days, weeks, months or years but practice this. Do it deliberately and over time it will become you. Gratitude to God is the most powerful acid burning away the shackles of negativity. As you rise in gratitude, the ungrateful cease to have power over you. Higher vibration sees through lower vibration. Everything suddenly becomes harmonious, life feels magical. Do this daily and I don't mean read this and think "yeah I'll do it" then forget. This is not a 'feel good phrase on a pretty background with trees, ocean and girl holding a butterfly.jpeg", this is LIFE. Make this the EXCLUSIVE object of your life. God shows you more and more, the more genuinely grateful you are. It's like Alice jumping into the rabbit hole, it is psychedelic.

Salam IAMOP,

Believe me or not, this is exactly in general principle how i feel when trying to do my pk's..
i think of the movement of the object, try to feel object's presence in my mind..
relax my muscle's tension..
when ever there exists tensions i concentrate on removing it by thoughts alone..
then once the tensions relieved the object starts to move..
sometime when "over" relaxing i get kind of "high"..

wallahua3lam
peace

This is one way:

1. First Step



2. Second Step



3. Third Step



4. Fourth Step (where you realize that you are not the one that deserves the pain)



5. Fifth Step ( you revolt )



6. Sixth Step



You now dedicate your life to be the Hemorrhoid that humanity deserves in its back. You dedicate your life to rebel against peace and justice of the species that gave you none.

Peace
