"Quick and Creative Technique to Neutralize a Mildly Annoying Memory"

"Can't shake "off" that mildly  annoying memory? 

Try This Simple and Creative Technique to Ease Mild Memories (1-3 out of 10). For Stronger or More Disturbing Memories, Consider Reaching Out to a Professional."

Step 1- Notice the annoying memory when it begins to surface. 

Identify its trigger: Recognize what caused the memory to resurface. It could be a specific situation, emotion, person, or event that triggered it. 

Step 2 – Identify its location: Use your non-dominant finger to point to where the memory is. Is it in front of you, to the left, or to the right?

Step 3 – Explore its format: Is it a moving image, like a film, or a still picture?

Is it in color or black and white?

Are you in the image or observing it from the outside?

Step 4 – If it’s a still picture:



With your non-dominant hand, softly "frame" the image before you, as if placing it on a screen, tablet, or window. Then, with the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, gently pull the corners of the image inward, gradually shrinking it until it becomes a tiny dot.

To finish, blink it out: 

Rapidly close and open your eyes for about 20 to 30 seconds, blinking it out in black and white as if wiping a screen clean. With each blink, let the still image gradually dissolve from your mind.

Feel the image vanish, slipping out of sight and out of mind. Repeat this process as needed until it disappears completely.

Step 5 – If it’s a moving movie:

Rewind the memory, playing it backward from the end to the beginning.

As you rewind, keep shrinking it, getting smaller and smaller, until it's just a tiny dot in the distance.

Blink it out: Close and open your eyes quickly for about 20 to 30 seconds, blinking it out in black and white repeatedly, as if wiping a screen clean. With each blink, allow the movie to gradually fade from your mind.

Feel the image vanish, slipping out of sight and out of mind. Repeat this process as needed until it disappears completely.

"Do You Believe or Question Every Thought That Comes to You?"

Ah, dear friend, the winds of thought are many, and their voices and images are loud and relentless. Yet, do not be deceived by their clamor. The thoughts you entertain are not your own; they are the echoes of others, whispers that drift from past generations, from teachers, parents, strangers, and even from the world around you.  But these thoughts, these fleeting phantoms, do not define you. They are borrowed, like a leaf carried by a current, pulled into your mind and momentarily resting there before the next gust of wind takes it away. You see, thoughts are not anchored in truth. They come and go like the clouds in the sky. One moment, they are shaped and thick with meaning; the next, they dissolve into nothingness.  If you stop to look at them, you will realize that thoughts themselves cannot be trusted—they are not fixed or permanent. They float by, like the passing seasons, changing their form and shifting their hue. And just like clouds, they hide the vast, unchanging ...

"Break Free From the Chains of the Mind and Awaken to True Freedom"

Long ago, in an age veiled by the mists of legend, there lived a revered mystic and enlightened master named Zorath. One fateful day, he awoke from the illusory grip of the mind, transcending the endless cycle of suffering and stepping into the boundless realm of true freedom.  I ask you now, dear seekers—can you feel that deep, unspoken yearning within your soul, the longing to break free from the ceaseless chatter of your mind? Do you not ache for release from the torment of endless thoughts and fleeting emotions that imprison your peace? Is your heart not weary of swinging like a pendulum between the extremes of joy and misery, happiness and sorrow?  Are you not exhausted from the ceaseless dance between what is up and what is down, who is right and who is wrong—always bound by the shifting opinions of the world, which change with every passing moment? You may wonder how we can break from this egoic identity we cling to and awaken to the boundless vastness of our true nat...

"The Hidden Power of Letting Money Flow Like an Abundant Current"

    Gather around, dear friends, and let me share a lesson that will open your eyes to the world of currency and economics in a way you've never imagined. Picture, if you will, a simple $100 bill. Within that single note lies an extraordinary world of possibility, a realm of potential waiting to be unlocked in the form of experiences, goods, and services. In your hand, that $100 is more than just paper. It’s a key, capable of unlocking a cascade of opportunities—food for your table, a movie to entertain your mind, a soothing massage for your body, or even a car rental for your next adventure.  You could spend it on countless other items that enrich your life. All these potential realities are contained within that humble bill. But here’s the catch: none of these possibilities can come to life unless you release that money, allowing it to flow into the world. Consider this: as you spend, the person you give it to can pass it along, spending it on their needs, sharing it wi...
