Guidance

Swamaan (Affirmations practise)
Watching our Videos on "de-addiction"
Visit our RajYog Centre
STEP 1
Wisdom to Begin: Thoughts are purely "creative energy"... Think about something, and you are sending it energy. This energy is 'creative'. This way it is said that "You Attract what you constantly think". Focus on the word "Constantly".. whatever we do 'constantly', becomes a HABIT, which is then a part of our life.
đȘŽLife is very valuable... we must use this time to develop good habits, do good to everyone around us, and make good contribution to the world... in this, we seek our true enjoyment & fulfilment of life... We are spiritual being... We are souls, not this physical body. And thus, we should not de-value our inner self, & our life, by wasting time in bad habits... â€Learn More †Who Am I?Â
đ·Yes we can change any habit... Just as a habit is created by constantly doing the "same karma", it can be changed with constant "determination" and "controlling power".
"Thought precedes all actions"
We do think before we act outside, isn't it? So the real transformation must happen "within".. In our "thoughts"
STEP 2
To get out of bad habit of 'drinking', the same "determination", "willingness" & "controlling power" is needed. Most important is "willingness". Make a firm, strong decision: "I WANT TO CHANGE THIS HABIT"
đ»We highly recommend you & your family to practise Swamaan (Affirmations) daily morning and before sleep. Complete Guidance on "Swamaan/affirmation" is given on this PDF letter †https://files.shivbabas.org/wp-content/uploads/Swaman-Abhyas-Guide.pdf
STEP 3
We strongly advise the person X who is suffering from this habit, to watch our "Awakening with Brahma Kumaris" series episodes on Giving up addiction (search on YouTube)
