Hello dear ones.
Welcome to this meditation to practice awareness of the state of mind.
Take a moment to get comfortable,
Either seated or lying down.
Soften your gaze or close your eyes,
Whatever you are comfortable with.
When you're in your meditation position,
Begin to think about these words.
Mindfulness is momentary concentration.
Concentration is fixed mindfulness.
Begin observing your mind.
Don't make judgments or attach yourself to any particular thought or feeling.
If you find you hear yourself saying something such as I am sad,
Instead analyze this statement and realize that the truth is actually I am feeling sadness.
Pay attention to the quality of your mind.
Perhaps a lot of the time you are dissatisfied.
This is the human condition,
Not only you.
You may become aware that you are mostly dissatisfied.
You are allowed to feel just as you are allowed to think.
There is no judgment needed to be able to feel.
Therefore,
Identifying with the emotion as if it is you is called attachment or clinging.
Notice thoughts and emotions that you cling to.
What do you identify with?
In actuality,
You are not these attachments.
You are simply experiencing these things as pure consciousness.
Observe now how the mind is flowing,
Noticing.
Is it moving towards something or wanting anything?
Or perhaps you become aware that you are not wanting to experience something and are pushing it away.
Pay special attention to what you're pulling in with your mind and what you are pulling away.
Understand that this is the flow of our life experience.
Allow for these feelings and thoughts to be present and sit with them.
Now relax into them deeply.
Pause and await that moment of pureness when you give the order for relaxation.
Bring your clarity of mind back to the meditation of observing your state of mind with a fresh perspective,
Smiling without judgment.
See how your mind is drawn in and pushed away depending on the circumstance.
Now when you're ready,
Prepare to come back into a state of presence,
Into the room that you are in.
Slowly wiggle your fingers,
Wiggle your toes,
Open your eyes,
And take this sense of awareness into your day.
Blessings,
Dear ones.
Namaste.
