Of nights and conversations

Detox yourself of the irritations of the day by talking about it to someone, suggests Megha Bajaj
Thing is, no matter how much we wish to choose peace, love and harmony as the dominant thoughts and feelings of our day, there will always be people, situations, and sometimes our own self that will come in the way. A day – for most of us –usually looks like this: some irritation, some joy, some peace, some frustration, some giving up, some going on. Some of the negativity we are aware of, others we suppress. What we suppress adds to a little heaviness to our aura, our overall vibrations, and simply put, our well-being. Some of us have been doing this for years. Thoughts unexpressed. Emotions, suppressed. Slowly, this baggage of negative experiences grows and grows and ultimately results in diseases. There are enough studies that prove heart diseases and cancers are most commonly caused by immense suppressions over long years. The very language of Life is I Can. The very nature of our Source Energy is Love. The very purpose of our Creator is to heal and create, heal and create. However, we need to help this Infinite Intelligent System taking care of everything by ensuring we are doing our part in “unburdening” each night.
Having an elder sister has probably been one of the greatest blessings of my life. There isn’t a night that we do not speak over the phone. She tells me all that is right and wrong in her life, for that day, and I do the same. By default, by the end of it – there is this lightness that takes over. A little laughter, some solutions, sometimes a little venting, and everything seems okay once again.
The happiest, healthiest and most successful people are those who aren’t bogged down by heavy emotions or the past
Of course, it is most ideal to speak about an issue to the person you have an issue with. The fact is, however, this may not always be possible. You may not have the courage. The other person may not exhibit the openness. Sometimes the person who is causing disruption in your energy flow may not even be on the same physical or geographical plane as you any more. Sometimes it may be a boss and you know speaking could lose you a job you love. Various reasons. So if you cannot speak to the person concerned, speak to someone else. Sister, in my case. Friend, mother, father, guru… could be anyone in yours. Speaking, or even writing, to someone who truly cares can be most relieving. In case you cannot think of anyone you can unburden to, there is still a way out. Create an email id – possibly with a crazy name, for your divine source of faith. For example: mycrazyandbeautifulkrishna@gmail.com. Each night sit and write to your Krishna about your day. I suggested this to a young girl about six months ago who was undergoing bullying at school and didn’t know whom to turn to. When I recently met her, she looked so much happier than I had seen her last, and she shared, “I did what you said every night. I created an imaginary Divine best friend and wrote to Him each night about everything that happened at school. I felt very foolish about it initially – but in time, this became my happiest hour. Just knowing I have “someone” has changed so much. Bullies matter much less because strangely, I don’t feel alone any more!” Her revelation made me realise that the happiest, healthiest and most successful people are those who aren’t bogged down by heavy emotions or the past, but instead, who know how to flow. Twenty minutes before you sleep – and life can actually be everything you wish for it to be. Converse, express, write, unburden, let go… and wake up to a new day, each day.
