Past calling, Don't answer!

Past is a nice place, isn't it. A place where you visit often, or maybe very frequently visits. Having a lot of reasons behind this visit, maybe one is lonely, having incredibly great memories, uses this visit as an escape from present situations in life or anything else. Basically, recalling a past is a very healthy activity if carefully understand. If you close your eyes, just for a minute and go back in time and think of a happy moment. Somewhere, you were happy, laughing, with your closed ones, having a great time. After a minute is over, when you'll open your eyes, you will see a big smile on your face. In many of the mediation process, people often try to think of a happy place or a soothing memory that makes their body goes calm and mind even calmer, they starts to receive the positive vibes from that memory. Now think for a minute what happens each time you think about your painful past and sufferings instead of the good memories. Yes, this is where awakened mind helps you to understand what damage control you really need to do for your life.
Not denying the fact that every person has his painful or suffered past, and its not easy for everyone to let it go that easily. But, spirituality isn't going to compel you on letting it go, it is going to make you understand how one little visit to your past painful memory is going to affect your present. Each individual is having his own capability of mind, some people understand these things and some people don't. But that doesn't mean that the one who doesn't understand or accept these things, are not going to be affected as well. If somebody hurt you in the past, and you can still feel that pain exactly the same, that means either it hasn't been too long or it was really that big deal, or may be the last reason, you hold on to that memory so tight, that you are still getting hurt. Sometimes, it's really not about the amount of pain somebody gave you, it's about you, how tight are you still holding on to that memory. It's a law, the tighter you hold on to that past pain, the more it's going to affect you. Because, one should understand that it's no more hurting you because of what the person did to you, now it's hurting you because you're holding on to it for way too long, and may be now it is a good time to let it go..
When past calls, don't answer, it has nothing new to say. Obviously, the one which has something new to say is the present. Live in that moment, Right now. People are suffering from so many chronic diseases because of this little thing, "they live in past". Living in past not just means they recalls it all the time, or flashbacks from past whenever you go to sleep or try to meditate. It's about the past regressions, anger, something stupid you did, or made a fool out of yourself, cannot get over someone, or how you used to behave in the past with other people. There are number of reasons why people cannot get out of their past. And that is when they feel that therapy treatments are the solution. They are not going to take the responsibility of their karmic accounts and destiny by themselves. They throw all their problems on some random therapists and think that they are going to resolve their issues, but meditation is so difficult, isn't it. What else are you suppose to do in the meditation? You are going to take the charge of your life and resolve your issues yourself. Meditation is the only process that helps you overcoming your past issues, pains and sufferings.
Going back to the same old painful place again and again is like drugs, you don't need them but you still want them. You think it keeps you alive, but the sad truth is its killing you. Past memories are good for once in a while visit, not always staying there, it weakens you the most. And that is why let it go is an important damage control procedure that should be done. Obviously, it is not easy, but its worth a wait and patience. No matter how much time will it take, but once you are over your past, you won't feel anything for that incident. Sometimes you let go of something and you don't even realize about it. It is what time healing is all about.
Take deep breathe, Don't overthink, Don't get attached to every situation so easily. Be happy, try to meditate everyday. You'll know the effects starts to happen, in a while. Take care of you, the soul, if you starts to take care of yourself, the aura, then you will start to become more of a healthy person. Read more good books, do good deed, have a good laugh. Everything works, if you want it work. Giving up won't do anything good to you ever. So, work on yourself more and more, even if you do something wrong, don't worry, accept your past, live in present and work on future. Nothing less.
