My own mind is a messy traumatised soup! haha

Basically I'm getting flashbacks or something...like unpleasant things are surfacing in my mind...from my past...even things i may have seen in magazines or on TV..

I understand Law Of Attraction..if I just consider the lillies so to speak, will this 'quieten' my mind so to speak?

What I'm hoping you can help me with is....maybe you've got your own techniques for quieting the mind? If so.. what are they?

I thankyou for your help in advance..

Dismiss your thoughts as they arise lol ...........

For me the simplest method is, with every breath you take in focus on your body and how it reacts; feel it rise. Then with every exhale feel you body fall deeper in to relaxation. Another thing I focus on is the sound of the air as it passes through my nose and lips. All other thoughts seem to fade after 15 minutes or so.

Hope this helps some,

I believe it takes years of practice because u silence ur mind so that you can hear spiritually you still have to be careful because your will is so strong.

Toolite... While it may take years to learn how to control your mind, the quietness is already here within and all around you. You just need to learn how to shift your attention into it.
