Feeling Boxed In? How to Get Out of Mental Traps (Shabda Jalam).

Dear Friend,

If you can’t see a path that gets you from where you are at the moment, to where you want to be, then stop thinking about it in words.

Words, in the form of mental self-talk, can leave you feeling boxed in by limiting your capacity for creative solutions.

Visual thinking may be one step better than verbal thinking as far as creative solutions are concerned. There are people who have done well for themselves using the techniques of Creative visualisation .

With creative visualisation it’s been said that if you can visualise an outcome that you want to achieve in as much detail as possible by involving as many of your senses as possible, then, somehow, that outcome manifests itself.

If you’ve heard someone saying they’re using a Vision Board to achieve their career or life goals, then this is at least partly based on creative visualisation.

To learn about vision boards, you can check out Dr Izzy Sealey’s video: How to Make a Vision Board that ACTUALLY Works in 2026.

Whether you project visually or in words, there is still an inbuilt limitation.

Verbal thinking is done in your left brain hemisphere and visual, creative thinking is done in your right brain hemisphere, as shown on this psychology chart.

But, in yoga, the left brain and the right brain are the twin traps of the ego and the super-ego. ‘Success’ may provide only temporary satisfaction.

With your daily kundalini meditation, you’re freeing yourself from these twin traps in order to achieve Reality and a more sustained kind of success.

You get to where you want to be with minimal effort. Things fall into place as a result of ‘paramachaitanya’, the self-organising principle of Mother Nature guiding your goals. More below.

What Diamonds Are For - Healing Yourself With Gems & Stones.

Blue sapphire might help if the position of Saturn in your horoscope is putting a blocker on you succeeding at something. Or maybe Ruby or Emerald would work better for you. There’s a science to this in India. The Sahaj, more accurate version relates the different gems to your chakras. Here’s another reason why you might want to wear diamonds…Shimmer in the Shade.

Quote of the Week

“Get out of the ‘net of words’ (shabda jalam). If you are lost in words (thoughts) you cannot achieve reality. Words are not reality. To get to reality you must get rid of your words and thoughts.

But how to do it? So this kundalini does that. She pierces through your fontanelle and then the light (of Truth) starts flowing on your attention. But you must allow your attention to be free. You must be loyal to yourself and not to ideas.”

Your Question Answered

Also feel free to share here any experiences you’ve had with the meditation; any insights, or any comments that might be helpful to other readers

I have heard of a Sahaj technique called ‘putting the left to the right’ where one lifts up the left channel (using the right hand, left hand open on the lap) crossing over at Agnya Chakra (where the three channels meet) and pulling down the right side. I have been told that this opens the heart and reduces thinking and planning. So is it good to do it if one is feeling left-sided (lethargic)? Or is there a better technique for this ?

Reply:

The ‘left to the right’ technique you describe is great for calming down over thinking and other right-side problems, as you suggest.

If a person, on the other hand, is experiencing a left-side issue, such as lethargy, then they could reduce this by using the reverse technique to the one you mentioned ie. ‘right to the left’.

Both techniques are demonstrated in : How to Cure Over-Thinking & Other Problems.
