This provides more space for new thoughts to emerge and to increase our creativeness & intelligence.

Few experiments from box of diamonds, which are useful for this, are as under:

1. Ignorance
   The best way to show exit gate the thoughts garbage is to ignore it. Not all thoughts are useful that we come across. Hence try to ignore those, which are of no use. God has given us two ears to use one as inlet & other as outlet. There is a smart rule in Computer language - “GIGO”. It means Garbage In - Garbage Out. So start its application now before any virus hidden in garbage attacks your emotional & mental software system.
   
2. Pressing the tongue

   Touch the tongue to the upper palate (talu) of mouth.
   
4. Vocal cord's Kyotsarg
   Concentrate on the vocal cord position (centre of the throat i.e. Kanth). Suggest him to be relaxed. The vocal cord position is the birthplace of all thoughts. If we can make it relaxed, the speed of thoughts will be slow down.
   
5. Bhastrika Pranayam with bhavna
   Bhastrika Pranayam is the process of exhaling the air fastly. Whole concentration is kept on air going out of body with regularly suggesting the mind that excessive, negative thoughts are moving out, with the air.
   
6. Long breathing meditation
   In this, concentration is kept on each and every movement of air we are inhaling, exhaling & stopping (pausing) inside and outside the body. Breathing is done rhythmically i.e. slow, along and with time duration. The long & slow breathing does not provide fuel to thoughts & hence their working intensity decreases.
   
7. Anulom-Vilom Pranayam with Blue Colour and Bhavana
   Start inhaling from left nostril keeping the right one closed.
   Then pause air for 2 - 3 seconds inside and then exhale through right nostril.
   Pause intake for 2 - 3 seconds outside.
   While doing this process, continue imagine that the air we inhaling or exhaling is of blue colour. Also think while exhaling that excess thoughts are going out of mind. Feel deeply the whole process. May be, in initial stage, you are unable to feel the air or see the colour but continue it for 4 - 5 days. You will be seeing & feeling the same & even will find that brakes have started working.
   
8. Mantra
   Mantra therapy is very effective in purifying our Aura (Abhamandal). If properly done, it shows extraordinary results. Mantra to conquer excessive thoughts is - “OM SHOM SHOM”. Do it for 5 minutes daily.
   
9. Vichar Preksha
   It means to see the thoughts. Something sounds different how we can see the immortal thoughts. But we can see it & when we will start practice of watching our own thoughts, they will be stopped. Sit in a silent atmosphere, close your eyes softly and simply concentrate on the thoughts that are blowing in the mind. When you will practice for 2 min., you will find that the speed of thoughts has been converted into speed of tortoise.
