How does it work?
Our mind releases thousands of thoughts through the subconscious, passing them to the conscious, then the emotion is triggered and the emotion triggers the reaction, this is the process that PATANJALI (One of the first Yogis) describes how the mind works.
The three minds:
For Kundalini Yoga, human beings have three types of minds that are:
The Positive Mind, the Negative Mind and the Neutral Mind, these three minds are part of the process of selecting thoughts that the subconscious releases.
- The Negative Mind: This mind has a very important function for the human being, it is the mechanism of survival, self-protection, prevention. Its function is that when the thought passes, it is this mind that presents all the possible difficulties that that thought poses for the reality of that person, and this is very necessary. When this thought arises and before it manifests itself in action, we need to have the ability to discriminate and see what the consequence of the action will be that will trigger that thought before executing it. The Positive Mind: This Mind does the opposite. Raise the opportunities, see the results, look to the future, project, and that is also necessary, because if we did not have that ability to do mental projection, we would stay in the same place,so that the positive mind gives us the ability to project, to imagine, to visualize, to launch ourselves to that goal.The Neutral Mind: It is the intuitive mind, the wise and balanced mind that does not get involved, the witness that observes with impartiality. No sequence of thought will succeed until you achieve this neutral, balanced state. Also this mind represents service, humility and compassion.
The positive and negative minds have to be in balance. When a thought arises, the subconscious mind will take it, the Negative Mind will evaluate it as well as the Positive Mind, this can create balance so that we can discriminate that thought and then our Neutral Mind can act through the intuition to consciously guide us to the correct action when prompted by that thought. There are many individuals whose Negative Mind dominates or whose Positive Mind is weak, and vice versa, and emotions play an important role.
Fear, anxiety, anger, all those emotions are triggered, and depending on that subconscious emotional process, either the positive or the negative mind will dominate and that is when the imbalance arises. Faced with this imbalance and the inability of the Neutral Mind to take that thought and give us the answer intuitively, we react and sometimes we get it right and sometimes not, and that is part of the process that is the wheel of Karma, it is the inability to have intuition and act consciously and not become victims of the unconscious action which brings back Karma.
Meditation cultivates the Neutral mind, whose qualities are: Wisdom, Witnessing
(not getting involved), detachment and no ego.
