Once you have started to control your mind and are able to focus more often on the present moment, many unconscious thoughts and emotions will start to surface for healing.
The way these thoughts and feelings are healed is by your consciousness of them.
As it was once said, the light casts out the darkness.
When your mind is very busy all day long just churning and churning, this keeps all your suppressed negative energy buried deep down in the unconscious.
Your constant thinking is like a lid on a jar.
Remove the lid and everything will rise up out of the jar.
One of the main benefits of meditation is it slows your thoughts down allowing deep and undesirable negative emotions to come to the surface.
Do not be afraid of them.
These negative emotions were scary because they were in the darkness of your mind.
A child wont look under the bed in the night because they fear a monster is under there.
The remedy is to turn the light on and you will see that there is nothing there.
Once brought to the light of consciousness, you will see they were nothing but a figment of your imagination.
