One of the first goals of meditation is to still and calm random thoughts. In order to achieve this, it is helpful to identify four different levels of Thinking.
- Negative thought - Considered lowest level , it includes feelings of anger, fear sadness, regret and unease
- Wasteful thought - When we waste our time worrying about things that might not happen or about things outside of our control
- Necessary thought – Such as “I must not forget to pay electricity bill” or I must remember to send a birthday card
- Positive thought – The Highest level, which encourage peace, harmony, creativity, love and happiness.
In meditation we can free our minds from negative and wasteful thoughts and elevate them to the highest level.
