New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Today is World Mental Health Day. To utilize the power of this modern holiday, think about your own mental state. Are you prone to mood swings? Are you emotionally balanced for the most part? Do you let things get to you more than they should? Have you been diagnosed with a mental illness or know someone who has?
Light one black candle and one white candle. Set them on the floor and lie between them. Be sure that the candles are somewhat far apart from each other, and that your head is situated between the two pillars. Enter a meditative state and contemplate the power of the two extremes-lightness and darkness-on either side of your head. Think about the ways in which you err to one side more than the other. For example, do you frequently enter unhealthy states of depression or anger? Or give too much of your own energy to other people? Or sometimes forget to love yourself? When you have meditated on your general mental state, jot notes and keep the list in your pocket or purse. Look at it frequently and think about how you can enter a more balanced state of mind regularly. |
