As a Kundalini Master with 39 years of meditation experience, I have seen firsthand the power of cultivating a positive attitude through meditation.
By practicing meditation, we can learn to cultivate a positive attitude by focusing on the following:
- Fear: Many of us struggle with fear, which can lead to feelings of anxiety and insecurity.
- Self-Doubt: We often doubt our abilities and decisions, leading to a lack of self-confidence.
- Resentment: Holding onto grudges and feeling bitter towards others can harm our mental health.
- Jealousy: Comparing ourselves to others and feeling envious of their successes can lead to inadequacy and unhappiness.
- Anger: Uncontrolled anger can cause us to lash out at those around us, creating tension in relationships and damaging our reputation.
- Discouragement: Feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges can lead to hopelessness and despair.
- Cynicism: Believing that nothing will ever work out or that people are inherently wrong can lead to a negative outlook on life.
What is a Positive Attitude?

It involves having an optimistic view of the world and believing that good things will happen.

Why do we need a positive attitude?
Life’s journey is like a river, constantly flowing and replenishing itself. We are all part of this great flow, but sometimes we find ourselves stuck in an eddy that keeps us from reaching our potential. A positive attitude can be the bridge to help get out of these stagnant places.

- It can help us to stay focused on our purpose and find meaning in our lives, even during difficult times or when we feel lost or overwhelmed by life’s challenges.
- It allows us to be more open-minded and accepting of different perspectives, cultures, beliefs, etc., which leads to greater understanding and empathy for others around us and ourselves.
- It can help us be more resilient in the face of adversity, as we can better cope with difficult situations and bounce back from them more quickly.
How to Cultivate a Positive Attitude Through Meditation?
Most are not born with a positive attitude; you must work towards achieving it every day. But don’t worry! If you take steps today toward developing your unique version of positivity, tomorrow will come with more joy and fulfillment than ever before.
Listen to this story about Vasantha.
My student, Vasantha, struggled with fear, self-doubt, resentment, and jealousy. She felt overwhelmed by life’s challenges and had a negative outlook on life. She was feeling discouraged and cynical about her future.
Step 1: Sahasrara Meditation
I suggested that she try Sahasrara meditation to help her cultivate a more positive attitude. We began by focusing on her life force and allowing her to relax in the present moment.
Sahasrara Chakra Meditation is a powerful meditation technique that helps to cultivate a positive attitude. This meditation focuses on the seventh or crown chakra, located at the top of the head. During this meditation, one focuses on their Kundalini Shakthi without mantra, tantra, yantra, breathing techniques, visualization, or kriya.
Benefits of Crown Chakra Meditation
The benefits of Sahasrara Chakra Meditation are numerous.
- It can help to reduce stress and anxiety by calming the mind and allowing it to focus on the present moment.
- It can also help increase self-awareness and clarity, leading to better decision-making skills.
- Additionally, it can help to boost creativity by allowing one to tap into their inner wisdom and intuition.
- Most importantly, Sahasrara meditation helps your brain remain at the Alpha frequency between 8 and 13 cycles per second.
Alpha-level brain frequency is also beneficial for cultivating a positive attitude through meditation. Alpha waves are associated with relaxation and mental clarity.
Benefits of Alpha Frequency
Alpha frequency helps to identify the imprints and superimpose them by allowing us to tap into our subconscious mind.
- Alpha waves are associated with relaxation and mental clarity, which can help us to become more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
- By tapping into our subconscious mind, we can begin recognizing patterns and habits that may be holding us back from achieving a positive attitude.
- We can then use this awareness to make conscious decisions about how we want to think and act to cultivate a more positive outlook on life.
- This will help us create an environment where we feel safe enough to take risks and try new things without fear of failure or rejection.
Step 2: Introspection
I then guided Vasantha through a visualization exercise. She listed four situations that led to negative thinking.
- When overwhelmed by her workload, Vasantha felt inadequate and like she would never be able to accomplish all of her tasks.
- When she saw someone else succeeding in an area she wanted to succeed in, Vasantha felt jealous of their success.
- When things didn’t go her way, Vasantha felt discouraged and hopeless about the future.
- When faced with a difficult situation, Vasantha had a cynical outlook on life and believed nothing would ever work out for her.
Identify the root cause of negative attitude
I asked her to find the root cause of these four negative thinking patterns.
Specifically, I asked her to identify the following six reasons:
- Need
- Habit
- Other’s imposition
- Environmental condition
- Genetic
- Divinity
Vasantha went silent to identify why she developed the four negative thought patterns.
After some reflection,
- She identified that her negative thought patterns were rooted in her need for approval and validation from others.
- She felt like she was constantly being judged and compared to those around her, leading to feelings of inadequacy and jealousy.
- She also realized that she had developed a habit of expecting the worst in any situation, which led to her feeling discouraged and cynical about the future.
- Additionally, Vasantha recognized that her environment impacted her attitude; she was surrounded by people who were always pessimistic, which made it difficult for her to stay positive.
- Finally, Vasantha acknowledged that she had inherited certain genetic traits from her parents, making it more difficult for her to be optimistic.
Through this process of self-reflection, Vasantha could identify the root causes of her negative thoughts and attitudes.
Step 3: Superimposition Using the Power of Visualization
Armed with the knowledge from her root cause analysis, we used meditation techniques such as Kundalini Yoga and visualization to help Vasantha cultivate a more positive outlook on life.
She went back into alpha frequency through Sahasrara meditation.
She visualized the four negative thought patterns and the circumstances that triggered them. She started visualizing four alternative positive thoughts that would replace them.
- When overwhelmed by her workload, Vasantha reminded herself that she could achieve her goals and take them one step at a time.
- When she saw someone else succeeding in an area she wanted to succeed in, Sarah chose to be inspired by their success and motivated to reach her own goals.
- When things didn’t go her way, Vasantha chose to remain hopeful and focus on the possibilities instead of the limitations.
- When faced with a difficult situation, Vasantha told her to practice gratitude and believed everything happens for a reason.
As Kundalini meditators, we need to focus on these visuals and use them to drive home the power of positive thinking. It’s not just about summoning up warm vibes within ourselves — it’s also about practicing optimism even when things don’t go perfectly.
We must visualize scenarios where everything works out perfectly so we can learn how to face any situation with grace and poise. When you’re able to do this, your attitude shifts dramatically, and life starts looking much brighter.
Visualization isn’t just some new-age hippie trend; it’s been used by spiritual leaders throughout history for its powerful effect on moods and attitudes. So next time you sit down for a meditation session, make sure to add a visualization exercise into your routine – it might be just what you need to get those positive vibes flowing again!
Step 4: Journaling For Self-Reflection
Journaling may be tedious, but it’s a powerful tool for personal growth. It can be used to reflect on your thoughts and feelings to cultivate the positive attitude we all need for tremendous success and happiness.
Kundalini masters understand this power of self-reflection through journaling. By taking time each day to write down our innermost thoughts, we can gain insight into ourselves and become aware of how our mind works. This will help us create an internal dialogue with ourselves that is more supportive than negative. We can also use journaling to take responsibility for our actions by uncovering why we do what we do and understanding the consequences of our choices.
Journaling isn’t just about recording events; it’s an opportunity to gain insight, awareness, acceptance, clarity, and guidance from within ourselves. It enables us to step back from the everyday life’s hustle and bustle so we can look at things objectively without any judgment or expectation – something fundamental when cultivating a positive attitude!
