See It, Feel It
Start by picturing your inner sanctuary, a space of peace, as is often depicted in Hindu temples, like the golden glow of a diya. Visualisation is the first
step. Imagine a protective shield surrounding you, reflecting negativity and embracing positivity. It's all about setting a positive intention, just as you would before a puja.
Faith: The Foundation
Next, align your energy with your faith. Whether you find solace in the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita or the principles of Islam, faith provides an anchor. Remember the unwavering devotion of Meera Bai or the strength of a Sufi mystic; their belief was their armour. Believe in the power of your inner self.
Daily Shielding Rituals
Incorporate practices that reinforce your mental defenses, akin to a daily aarti or a mindful walk by the ghats. Deep breathing exercises, like pranayama, can help release stress. Positive affirmations, recited like a mantra, build confidence. These practices strengthen your inner shield daily.
Inner Peace Achieved
By regularly practicing visualization, bolstering your faith, and establishing daily rituals, you nurture a solid foundation for your mental well-being. These exercises act like a shield. You will find yourself better equipped to navigate life's challenges with grace, poise, and a sense of inner serenity, similar to the feeling of peace after a satsang.
