Suggestions to Overcome and Neutralize Inner Negativity- Part 1 -Dr Rama

When we are born into this level of physical world, we are bound by a body and mind--and within that mind depending on our tendencies over hundreds and millions of years---we are a mixture of positive and negative energy.  These energies are stored within our mental, and emotional bodies---through the inner subtle collection of forces known as the ego--which reflects positive energy, negative energy and a gray zone mixture of everything in between.

Suffering often arises because we are used to being immersed in a dichotomous world of Light and Dark.

We came here to experience contrast and boy do we ever!.  And so over countless births some of us are used to a predominance of negative energy within ourselves because we are so used to experiencing this in our day to day over many lives and countless years.  We are even so accustomed to this negativity that many of us are not even consciously aware of our inner chatter and thus our outer behavior and actions that can be very negative ----and we can often nullify the positive thinking in our inner world because of the force of the negative aspects of ego.  We often think that that is just the way it is and we are so used to what we tell ourselves we sometimes do not try to break free into the fully positive.  And thus we often see mediocre or negative manifestations in our lives that seem to snowball, based on negative thinking and thus negative karma that manifests in the physical.

Here are some suggestions to practice being in the positive, if we choose to do so.  Remember, we are creating our own reality.   We have created both positive and negative and yet our Soul, in reality is above both.  If we want to experience and remember more and more happiness and thus, all Higher Self qualities than we have to choose to practice the positive in all aspects of thinking, relating, acting, speaking, and so on.

Remember we are all a work in progress.  Staying positive in all aspects is an ongoing moment by moment practice and it is a choice.---There is no magical formula--whatever we have done, we can undo--whatever has been negative we can transform and transmute into positive without being harsh or judging ourselves. And most importantly, appealing to unseen Grace a Higher Power of any understanding helps to remove negativity over time if we are willing to stay open.




1.  We cannot expect doing, thinking or saying the same thing over and over again when it does not produce positive results or effects and expect a different result


2.  If we want to attract something different and more positive and elevated in our lives we have to stop identifying and constantly obsessing, embellishing and repeating our personal negative stories and sagas to ourselves and others.  We are only perpetuating more negative energy--we are not alleviating the problems, nor attracting positive new ideas and manifestations because we are focused on the problem, not the positive solution

3. We need to constantly practice that the glass is 1/2 or more full rather than empty


4.  We have the opportunity to write and think about our gratitude list---keep it constantly with us and never subtract from it--only add to it


5.  Contentment, patience, and faith are keys to positive thinking---they are already inside us but constant practice uncovers these gems under the mud of negativity


6.  We have to get out of ourselves at least a little while each day by thinking of someone else and/or performing some kind of selfless service however large or small--which reduces our negative Self-absorption in our issues and problems


7.  We have the opportunity and keep drawings and art work of any kind that illustrate what our positive vision is


8.  If we want something different than we have to keep focusing on what we want, not what we do not want

9.  Constant practice of forgiving ourselves (even if we do not feel or mean it) still sets the stage for change when we look back over the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months to illustrate to ourselves how far we have come from our negative thinking
