Bio-rhythms and Eqthinking

Unit 1: Bio-rhythms and Eqthinking The human body or for that matter all organisms keep to certain bio-rhythms to maintain equilibrium. The human mind too can find and sustain equilibrium by following a rhythmic thought pattern. The heart follows a pattern of the systolic and diastolic- the alternating pattern caused by its expansion and contraction. If the human mind can imitate the heart and follow a certain pattern of thought, it would certainly stabilise our thoughts, emotions and decision patterns. It was this thought that led me to ultimately discover equilibrium thinking or the thought pattern or process that alternates between thinking positive and thinking negative-negative. Our breathing pattern also alternates between breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide. The heart and lungs work continuously, ceaselessly and alternates sequentially between two types of movements. For several years, I tried to replicate this binary pattern using the verbal tool, “ be at it.” This tool implied that one needs to persist in using one’s strengths, to persevere till one achieves a goal, to stay positive. But in reality, the negative interferes with this pattern. Therefore, I found it necessary to alternate the positive thought process or “ be at it” with “ beat it” or a negative-negative thought pattern. “Be at it” or the positive process implies that one needs to utilise and reinforce his strengths while “beat it” or the negative-negative thought process implies that one needs to identify, negate, reduce, overcome and turn one’s weakness into a strength. The advantage of a binary thought process like equilibrium thinking is that it will enable one to synchronise one’s thinking with even basic physical activities like breathing in and breathing out, walking, exercising, cycling, swimming and so on. The simplicity of the concepts and its correlation with day to day physical activities enables a person to blend thinking or meditation with his or her daily routine. If one can practice it all day long, one can practice it lifelong. It becomes a tool for lifelong learning and lifelong development. If one wants to change his condition, he or she should change his conditioning. The conditioning is usually very deep rooted in one’s psyche or subconscious. Equilibrium Thinking provides a programming language to de-condition the negative conditioning of the past that causes a person to be angry, depressed, fearful, nervous, suspicious, tense or anxious. These negatives are deeply ingrained and cannot be impacted by mere positive thinking. Equilibrium Thinking overcomes the usual embedded negative triggers that are set in motion when we say, “ Do not be afraid” or “ Do not worry.” The thought process is expressed in terms of a set of paired or binary commands, for example: be calm, beat anger are the two commands to address the issue of anger. Another idea that led me to the discovery of equilibrium thinking is that of “ auto-pilot.” If a thought process is made habitual, our minds would be on “ auto-pilot” and it would be second nature to be positive and beat negative. Constant and continuous repetition of the simple paired or binary commands would lead a person practicing eqthinking to be automatically positive and automatically “ negative-negative.”
