When you start meditating, you can experience undeniable bliss and calm. You have moments of deep peace and clarity... but then, on the flip side, it can feel like you're going crazy at times. Here's what's really going on.
We think we need to think in order to be efficient. However, if you can maintain clear and attentive awareness acutely upon the task you are completing right now, you can significantly improve the quality of your actions. Here's how...
As you awaken spiritually, life can appear exponentially challenging. You become more sensitive to and more aware of the subtleties of life and of your inner state. It may seem insufferable at times, however, it can be a beneficial thing. Life will highlight to you that which needs healing. If you can lean into that process a little and show up for your moments, you can release that which no longer serves you.
If you are looking for some big event or extraordinary moment of enlightenment, you may have overlooked subtle signs of your spiritual awakening. These are the ‘ordinary’ moments of stillness that are deeply satisfying. These moments are available as a possibility for all humans, even if only for a short while. What does this moment bring? Can you show up for that? This is the practice.
In this video you will learn how to calm your thoughts, without a focus on 'trying' to stop thinking. By redirecting your focus to something that is in this moment that doesn't stimulate unhelpful or detrimental thoughts, you can divert attention out of the mind and back into the present.
