Meditation Workshop: Dimensions of Inner Healing

The Repression of Thoughts and Its Hidden Psychological Distortion

The mind is a living stream — thoughts should flow continuously and freely. Through the method of observation, this very stream can be brought to a state of stillness and clarity. But what do we often do instead? We reject thoughts, labeling them as “ugly” or “wrong,” and then try to bury them under layers of artificially “positive” thoughts. This act of suppression gradually becomes the root of deep psychological disorders. It is a hidden form of violence — a subtle aggression we inflict upon ourselves — which creates invisible tension within the psyche.

Many of us, knowingly or unknowingly, engage in an ongoing conflict with our own original thoughts. For example, if someone experiences impure or disrespectful thoughts toward a revered figure, guilt arises, and the person tries to crush such thoughts. But crushing a thought does not eliminate it — it merely drives it deeper into the subconscious. Over time, this suppressed material takes the form of obsessions, anxieties, delusions, or irrational fears.

Similarly, if sexual thoughts arise repeatedly — especially those deemed socially or morally unacceptable — the mind goes into internal conflict. One either suppresses them entirely or tries to replace them with so-called “pure thoughts.” But this is not true self-inquiry; rather, it becomes the seed of deeper psychological unrest. What’s truly needed is to understand why the mind is producing such images in the first place.

Meditation, in its truest form, is something altogether different. It does not ask you to run from thoughts, nor to change them. It invites you to look at them as they are, without judgment. This is the essence of inner healing — Antar-Chikitsa — where the goal is not to label thoughts as good or bad, but to understand the creator of those thoughts. What is this inner painter, and why does it paint such pictures?

This very process is the soul of our meditation workshop — where one begins to witness the restless, fragmented, and suppressed layers within. This is not a method of outer correction, but of deep internal healing — a silent space where the mind, in its confusion, constantly creates discomfort and contradiction.
