THE KEY TO OPEN UP YOUR MANIPURAKA CHAKRA

The key, the mantra, to open your Manipuraka Chakra is this: have positive thinking, positive words, continuously. When you utter the positive words, the mind which is trained already in negativity is not going to agree. It is not going to allow you to be in peace. Don't bother. Don't worry. In one corner of your mind, your mind will be telling, in one corner of your being, your mind will tell, "Just by uttering a few positive words, do you think that I will become silent?!"
That is why we cannot control our dreams. If we can have the dreams of our choice, we know what kind of dreams we will have! Dreams are not in our control. We cannot influence them. We cannot have choices because the frequency of thoughts is more than the frequency of consciousness. So we have thoughts but no ‘I’ consciousness. The flow of thoughts happening in our being is the dream state.
In the next state, neither ‘I’ consciousness nor the flow of thoughts exists. This is deep sleep. This is called suṣupti. The three states are jāgrat, svapna, suṣupti—conscious, subconscious, unconscious.

THE STAGES OF WORRY
Cribbing is the first stage cancer, chronic worrying is the last stage cancer, that’s all. But last stage cancer always starts as first stage cancer. In the first stage if you don’t do the chemotherapy of integrity and completion, the first stage is going to become fourth stage. Understand, worry is nothing but giving words to yourself thinking you will not know the words you gave it to you. Worry leads to hypocrisy.
