In this paper, the author proposes a new meditation technique, Counter Positive Technique, to remove negative thoughts and negative emotions very effectively in around 10 seconds to 5 or 15 minutes of its practice to help people have top class mental health in life and, hence, top class happiness and productivity. There have been 4 types of techniques tried by the humanity so far to solve their mental health issues: 1st, ignoring negative thoughts and negative emotions and getting busy in work, 2nd, using some positive thought (s) whether of one’s own or based on some inspiring quote, story, etc. or of the type of prayer to some divine being whether a spiritual guru or a god/goddess or God or the universe, 3rd, various thoughtless awareness techniques and, 4th, various mantra chanting techniques. These 4 types of techniques neither individually nor even collectively could free the humanity from major mental health issues which are behind all cases of murder, rape, bullying, suicide and psychosomatic diseases which are all of chronic nature. This led the author to research for a technique which should be as powerful and simple as the author can logically make it and that resulted into the invention of Counter Positive Technique in Feb 2024 which uses slow and full alternate breathing combined with appropriate auto-suggestion during both inhalation as well as exhalation.After its invention, the author shared it with many people and from their feedback learnt that Counter Positive Technique is at least 10 times more effective for all healthy people and at least 2 times more effective for unhealthy people in removing negative thoughts and negative emotions as compared to all other techniques they used in their life so far which all belong to the aforementioned 4 types of techniques.This technique can also be used for removing harmful desires like desire for smoking, wasting time on internet and app, etc. also and, in case, one still fails in self-discipline, one should do it for 5 minutes after the lapse to reinforce the self-discipline in one’s mind effectively. This technique can also be used for 5 minutes daily to pro-actively develop any good quality or habit. This technique also has healing versions to heal chronic diseases caused either by physical accident or excess of fear or excess of anger and hate for which 100-hour experiment is needed and upon getting at least 10-20 percent healing after this 100-hour experiment, one is requested to keep doing as many hundred hours more as needed to completely heal one’s chronic diseases.This technique is very simple, completely free and without any side-effect ensuring that it can be done by anyone above the age of 6 years (and even earlier if even younger people than 6 years can learn it) including the illiterate, the blind and those who cannot use their hand temporarily or permanently due to any physical reason.The Counter Positive Technique is designed to be the primary technique for removing negative thoughts and emotions very effectively throughout one's life. While other meditative and spiritual practices such as positive thinking, thoughtless awareness techniques, or mantra chanting can be beneficial for enhancing happiness and spiritual progress when one is already in a peaceful state, the author emphasizes that the Counter Positive Technique should always be used at the onset of any negative thought and negative emotion to remove it very effectively. The author's personal practice exemplifies this approach, using the Counter Positive Technique for removing negative thoughts and negative emotions while incorporating other practices like mantra chanting during periods of inner peace. This method ensures good inner peace which builds the foundation for deeper spiritual exploration, if one wishes for it, offering a comprehensive and flexible approach to lifelong well-being.The author is publishing this technique to the wider psychology research community to do RCTs on it as well as for popular dissemination!
