Being aware of your awareness, Being conscious of your consciousness, Being present with your presence, Being alive with your aliveness. Instead of chasing thoughts, And instead of watching the movement of the mind and the emotions, It's a very beautiful practice to become aware of that which is observing those thoughts, Observing that emotion, That sensation. Almost as if awareness is turning back on itself, Looking at itself. That brings tremendous stillness and silence inside. The thoughts are moving so fast sometimes that watching them can be dizzying, Disorienting, Overwhelming. But something is aware of these thoughts that spike and this emotion that spikes, These moods that are always changing. So having a closer relationship to that which is aware of the movements. And with that, I will see you back here tomorrow with love.
