Negative thoughts during meditation is like stirring up still and settled sand at the bottom of a jar.
When we are not meditating our conscious mind is active that Holds memory required for our day to day activities. Conscious mind stores a very small percent of our total memory. Major part of our memories, thoughts and desires etc are all stored in our subconscious mind. When we are awake our subconscious mind sleeps.
But when we sit down to meditate, conscious mind slows down. We have only 3 to 4 thoughts per minute in this area. We are in Alpha or Theta state of brain activity. Now our sub conscious mind starts to awaken.. The stirring begins.
First thing that comes up is the sand at the bottom of glass that looked like containing clean water from above. The water now becomes muddy n dirty.
Our trash, negative and wasteful thoughts emerge from bottom of our subconscious mind. Our mind is full of such thoughts. As they come up and you label them as waste, they begin to fade away. Beginners of meditation need to understand that this is essential and part of meditation process.
As we continue to make regular efforts to meditate, These useless thoughts start to vanish. These are replaced by thoughts of clarity. The peace and calm starts to set in. We can now connect to Universal consciousness too.
The water is now free of sand and crystal clear.
