When the world sings I hum. When the world shouts I hum.

The world is filled with sounds and these sounds fill us.
Sometimes these sounds are too loud and disturb our inner peace. Sometimes these sounds echo in our head and drown our inner silence. These reverberate and make us imbalanced. Sometimes there are so many sounds that their crazy tones make us feel we are going insane. If you feel that
 yourself going out of control it is possible that you have entertained too many external thoughts and deemed them as your own. The distinction between self and others has blurred and the boundary has dissolved. This is when we lose ourselves in the quagmire of madness.
Most people whose thinking has been losing its grip don’t really come to a psychologist but they continue to exist in the world coping with their inner demons and maybe one fine day decide to either end their lives or turn a recluse. Some or rather most continue to enslave others with their delusions and others turn to alcohol and other addictive substances for relief.
For all of us who are trying …very hard to live I suggest a simple exercise which is effective and can reign in our horses.
Humming is a wonderful spiritual exercise which creates inner silence and debugs your mind quickly. When you feel the traffic horns… screeching in your ears..HUM. When the movers and packers haven’t come..HUM. When the children run all over you..HUM. When the husband demands or your wife fumes..HUM.
First hum loudly like a whistle so the rest wonder what’s up with you and slowly allow yourself to hum very softly so that even you can’t hear. Practice it regularly and see the difference in how quickly you can quiet your mind.
So happy humming.
