I came across this interesting article on a topic that has been whirling around in my head for few days ...... I claim no credit for the text, yet I relate so much to it.
Our thoughts have their own power and gravitation. A single positive thought could uplift you, while another negative thought could pull you down. The thoughts have the power to imprison our consciousness - and they often do.
Real freedom is not only from negative thoughts, but the thought process itself. That happens when we are able to witness them, when we become a witnessing consciousness. Sufis have a very powerful method of whirling meditation which can give us a taste of this ultimate freedom. They say that just as the Earth whirls on its axis continually and everything moves along with it, god is the centre of this Universe. Whirling is a method of meditation to connect with this divine centre, one of the most ancient of techniques and probably one of the most powerful.. So much so, that even one experience can change your life for ever...
A must try .... some day.
