When you feel depressed, know that you are creating particles of depression around you. Those ions of depressions around you go and stick to the environment. If someone walks into that place, even after you have left, that person for no reason would start feeling depressed. Have you experienced this? You walk into a room and suddenly feel angry vibes. You were all right a few minutes ago but the moment you walk in, all the anger, stress and tension overtake you.
Today there is a lot of talk about the environment. There is talk about protecting the forest, bringing up more greenery, recycling of things, materials, plastics and use of more natural and organic substances. A few years ago, this was not an issue at all. Now all nations are coming to an agreement to save the planet earth. Like we pollute the earth and the water, we also pollute the subtle environment of feelings and emotions.
Man has become a victim of his environment. He is not in control of his mind but a victim of the environment. Is it not so? We pollute our environment in a very subtle way through our negative emotions. But it takes quite sometime to clear the environment of this. It is inevitable that sometimes you feel stressed and negative.
Nobody wants it, but it happens. So how do we handle them? Our body has the capacity to sustain the vibrations of bliss and peace much longer than it does negative emotions because positivity is in the centre of our existence. Just like in the structure of an atom, protons and neutrons are in the centre of the atom and electrons are only the periphery, the same is with our lives; the centre core of our existence is bliss and joy, but it is surrounded by a cloud of negative ions. Through the help of the breath, we can easily get over our negative emotions in a short period. What is there for you to get depressed? You are here for a few years anyway; just a few years on this planet. And as long as you are here, you can as well be happy. You can see this once you take sometime off, rejuvenating the soul.
Your soul is hungry for a smile from you. Take some time off to look a little deep into oneself and calm the mind down. Thus erasing all the impressions that we are carrying in our minds, we can experience the presence, the divine that is the very core of our existence. The presence has to be felt by heart and human life is enriched only when we can live this sixth sense of existence, of feeling.
