Weekly Newsletter: Thought Vacuum

      Sometimes our thoughts overwhelm us, and we need to take a break from all that’s going on in our world. This can be the thoughts connected to our everyday lives, or it can be religious thoughts. Fears that arise from religious errors, or concerns about not being able to live up to the teachings of a religious organization, can overwhelm us and leave our minds battle weary and worn.
       There is a simple process to help when the mind chatter becomes too much to handle. Imagine a mind vacuum that has the ability to suck out all the mental clutter from your mind. It also has the ability to draw off all negative emotions that go along with mind clutter. If we also visualize the vacuum is being operated by our higher power, it can add strength to the exercise.
    Nature abhors a vacuum, so we also want to reverse the vacuum and blow peaceful thoughts and loving emotions into the places left abandoned. This vacuum can also come in handy when it’s time to replace old beliefs with new ones. We allow the vacuum to remove the thoughts that prove to be cancerous to our spiritual journey, and we replace them with different thoughts that feed our souls and strengthen us.
