Correction with sweetness is more effective than words spoken with anger.

Projection: We need to be sweet while we have to correct or point out someone's mistake. When we do that, what goes across to them is the feeling and not the words. If there were to be anger or dislike while correcting them, the response we get would be negative too.

Solution: When I do have to correct someone, it is necessary to remind myself of being sweet, not just in my words, but in my attitude too. For this I need to practice having good wishes for the one I want to bring a change in. Love combined with sweetness will surely work, and I'll definitely be able to notice a change.

Curing Depression Through Meditation (cont.)

Someone suffering from depression should experience some relief by picturing (visualizing) the following meditation commentary on the screen of his/her mind for 15 minutes every morning and evening:

I am a soul, a tiny star, sitting on my throne between the eyebrows........
I picture my destination, a land of soft golden-red light, beyond the sun, moon and stars........
On the wings of thought I fly there........
Now I am in front of the Father of the soul, a star-like energy like myself but an Ocean of Bliss (Joy)........
Strong currents of spiritual bliss (joy) are radiating from this Supreme Point of Light in all directions........
Like a sponge, I soak up this light of bliss within me........
I am overflowing with happiness and super sensuous joy (joy which is not experienced from the sense organs but through the connection with the Supreme Soul)........

Now, in a deep meditative state, repeat silently the following positive affirmations (thoughts):

I can be free of depression, right now........
I am the master of my mind, my thoughts, my intellect........
My thoughts create my feelings........
I free my mind from all worries, fears and memories of the past.........
I think only positive thoughts about myself.........
I feel very confident, energetic and enthusiastic........
I am very strong and can be a winner in every field of life........
By understanding this meditation I have understood the true purpose and worth of life and am getting more and more interested in it........
I shall now take interest in the activities of day-to-day life........
