When the subconscious mind gets clogged up, it produces a haunting thought, something that comes to us all the time, relentlessly, and eventually becomes so painful that we can’t handle it. These things we unconsciously desire or fantasize about, can be internally or externally focused, such as an experience or a possession, and the pursuit of it can become the entire focus of one’s life, undermining spiritual caliber.
If we can allow ourselves to fully perceive, receive, and process the haunting thought, instead of avoiding it, then it can be resolved and released. We can also do or have the thing that is haunting us to relieve the pressure; but another, easier, method is to clear the thoughts with this meditation.
It is recommended to eat papaya with lemon before practicing this meditation.
