So the big question is what is that tool which can perform
operation mind control for us? Which method can transform our mind state?
martial art, mantra chanting and
regulated breathing are normally
considered to be the tools to de-stress and
get calmer. Yoga, as a matter of fact, is
being practiced globally today as a tool to
transform the self. Mantra chanting is in
fact a very common practice in the sub-
continent for this purpose. The question
is – do they serve the purpose?
The answer is – Yes, but only to some
extent since the root always goes
unaddressed with such forms of practice.
Most importantly, it does not transform
us into beings immersed in everlasting
peace because of the existence of
vibrations. All above actions are based on
the mind itself and therefore are nothing
but creations of the mind. They are
positive thoughts that heal us, do us
good, but are thoughts only; hence do
not have the ability to control our mind
fully.
This is where the ancient technique of
Bhuma Yoga comes into play. This
meditation technique is a step-by-step
method that initially controls the mind
and over a small period of time, brings
an individual to complete stability of
mind vibrations. This is the reason why
Bhuma Yoga practitioners have
established mind control resulting in
better concentration, refreshment of
memory and rest. Through this practice,
one is able to transform from a hyper-
active mind to a calm mind. The road
ahead in Bhuma Yoga is that of pure
spirituality, peace, love, faith, bliss and
truth. But that is a broad subject, which
can be discussed may be some other time.
