EMPTY YOUR CUP

Every time Soniya thought about the new house she had bought in one of Mumbai’s upcoming suburbs, a golden glow would spread across her face. However, a glitch marred her happiness—the thought of her old house casting a shadow on her joy. She was riddled with fear and anxiety about her old house: Would it be sold? If so, would it be sold on time to the right buyer at the right price?

Have we not found ourselves in similar situations where, amidst the excitement of a new beginning, the shadows of our past linger, taking away our mojo?

People often say that time heals everything, but the truth is that nothing heals unless you deal with it. When someone asked the monk Dandapani how to let go of the past as well as fears about the future, he explained a technique from Hinduism called Vasana Daha Tantra. This technique involves taking a piece of paper and writing down the unresolved emotional experiences that consume a tremendous amount of energy in your subconscious. The idea is to understand that past experiences or worries about the future are unresolved emotional experiences stored in your subconscious with attached emotions. Emotions are energy vibrating at a certain frequency. Writing them down can help release this energy and free you from their hold.
