Positive Thinking

 

The sun is an appropriate image for positive thinking. The

visualization described below uses a sunlit landscape as an analogy

for the four levels of thoughts we create (positive, necessary, waste

and negative). It can be used to increase your percentage of positive

thoughts everyday.

 

1. Visualize a beautiful valley with a lake, forested foothills and

high mountains rising up into the clouds. This is the landscape of

your mind.

 

2. Your position in this landscape and the form in which you are

manifested depends on the quality of your thoughts. Are you a fish

swimming in the muddy depths of the lake (negative thoughts)? A frog

jumping back and forth from the shore to the lake (wasteful

thoughts)? A human, wandering into the forest to gather food and

build a shelter (necessary thoughts)? Or the sun, which sustains all

life on earth (positive thoughts)?

 

3. Now think over all the thoughts that you have had through the day.

How many of these can you attribute to a particular level? Make a

promise to yourself that each day you will try to increase your quota

of positive thoughts and banish negative and wasteful thoughts from

your mind.
