Removing distressing (black) covering around the body

1. Reasons for recurrent appearance of distressing covering around someone

1A. Distress caused by negative energies as per kalmahatmya

Currently, the distress caused by negative energies has in general increased due to the ongoing subtle calamitous times. So the distressing covering gets repeatedly formed around people.

1B. Suffering from negative energies as per destiny

The negative energy covering also gets formed due to one’s destiny.

1C. Personality defects and ego in individuals

1. Subtle wounds are created in the individual’s mental body due to personality defects. Raja-Tama oriented vibrations emerge from these subtle wounds. This, and the Raja-Tama oriented vibrations, easily attract negative energies towards such individuals resulting in formation of negative energy covering over them.

2. Ego is the origin of various personality defects, therefore apart from personality defects, ego also causes distress from negative energies.

2. Harm caused to the individual due to the distressing covering

2A. Manifestation of various physical, psychological and spiritual distresses and an increase in existing distress

An individual with a distressing covering faces various issues such as, ‘inability to think, an unsteady state of the mind, occurrence of negative thoughts in the mind, lethargy, unwillingness to chant the Name of God, spiritual remedies being ineffective, etc.’ At times, there may be physical distress like pain, acidity, etc. too. Also, formation of negative energy covering can compound existing problems.

2B. Ineffectiveness of spiritual remedies such as chanting

One usually performs spiritual remedies such as chanting of God’s Name to eliminate physical, psychological, or spiritual distress. However, if there is a distressing covering around the person, the sattvik vibrations of the spiritual remedies do not reach the individual in that proportion due to the covering and therefore its distress does not get eliminated quickly, no matter how long the person chants.

2C. Divine consciousness obtained from spiritual practice cannot be imbibed

3. How many times in a day should one remove the distressing covering

Negative energy covering gets formed around an individual intermittently throughout day. Therefore, one should remove the covering at least once every hour.

There is no restriction in using sattvik products or objects for removing the negative energy covering by such individuals.

A person with extreme spiritual distress should use sattvik products or objects (e.g., unlit sattvik incense stick, sattvik holy booklet, Sanatan Prabhat, peacock feather) to remove the negative energy covering.

4B. Method to be followed by the seekers residing in Sanatan Ashrams

Seekers residing in Sanatan Ashrams and seva centres perform spiritual remedy of chanting God’s Name etc., by sitting in the meditation room or in the room previously occupied by Saints and therefore the sattvikta present in those premises immediately destroys the negative covering formed around seeker’s body without letting it spread to the environment. Hence the seekers sitting next to them do not get affected by the distressful energies. The places of performing seva within the Ashram as well as seva centres are largely charged with sattvikta. Therefore, even while removing the negative energy covering when sitting at those locations, the other seekers sitting in the vicinity do not get distressed with the negative energies.

4C. Method to be followed by the seekers residing at home

4C1. Light a sattvik incense stick and play devotional songs sung by Saints in the room before removing the negative energy covering.

4C2. As far as possible, sit alone in the room while removing the covering. If this is not possible, sit at least 5 to 6 feet apart from the other individuals. By maintaining this distance, the other individuals will not get affected by the distressing energy while you are removing the negative energy covering.

4C3. Purify the premises using sattvik incense stick after removing the negative energy covering : Purify each room within the house from while moving in an anticlockwise direction as well as by going at each edge of the walls. After this, the incense stick should be left burning in the room itself. This will help in eliminating the distressing energy if it has spread within the premises.

4C4. The devotional songs sung by the Saints should be kept playing for some time.

5. Regularly removing the negative energy covering

‘Nowadays, while prescribing spiritual remedies such as healing chants to the seekers having spiritual distress, it is noticed that the negative energies from the environment are frequently creating negative energy covering around Adnya chakra and Anahat chakra of the seekers. Thereafter this covering expands into a thick blanket like covering from head to the chest region. Due to this, the seekers are experiencing distress such as inability to think, unsteady state of the mind, lethargy, unwillingness to chant the Name of God, ineffectiveness of spiritual remedies etc. If seekers are experiencing pressure on their head or on their chest as well as experiencing above distress, then they should first remove the negative energy covering from that specific location first or from the entire area from the head to chest. Seekers perform spiritual remedy with camphor and attar (Incense) at periodic intervals. At that time, they should also remove negative energy covering around oneself. It hardly takes 1-2 minutes for removing the covering.

One can remove the negative energy covering formed around oneself using fingers of our hand or using the Sanatan Prabhat. By using fingers of our hand for removing the covering we benefit from the vital energy that emits continuously from our fingers. Since Sanatan Prabhat is sattvik, it also helps in removing the covering. If we regularly remove the negative energy covering formed around us, then the extent of distress also reduces drastically.’

6. On new-moon and full-moon day remove the covering around the eyes

On new-moon and full-moon day, the distress caused by negative energy increases multi-fold. The presence of negative energies is higher on these days. Amongst the five senses, through our eyes we interpret the things around us to the maximum extent and hence they get charged with positive or negative vibrations from the visuals they see. Since on new-moon and full-moon day, the proportion of negative energies in the environment is higher, our eyes get charged with the subtle distressing vibrations, which means that negative energy covering gets formed around our eyes. Therefore, we experience distress such as heaviness in eyes, dizziness, black-out etc. If we do not remove the negative energy covering formed around our eyes immediately then the distressing energy will enter our body and negatively charge the Kundalini chakras. Also, thereafter, it forms covering around other body parts as well. Therefore, it is of utmost important to immediately remove the negative energy covering around the eyes on these days so that our distress does not increase.
