Hi my friend,

Blessing and thanks for joining this meditation.

This meditation is here to support your realizing the truth of who you are and for sure that you are not your mind.

How it's possible that you are your mind if you can see your thoughts.

So let's dive deep into this meditation so you realize the truth of who you are and then you connect with the true power that is available for you to live your life.

So the first thing we have to do is to make sure we're sitting comfortable.

If you want you can lie down and we start to observe the breathing.

The breath is a great tool for centering because it's combined between the physical and the energetical.

So just pay attention how your breathing moves through your body.

Inhaling deep and exhaling and softening and releasing tension.

Again inhale deep and visualize as if your body stretches a bit like a balloon to all direction as you're inhaling then as you're exhaling it softens and relaxes.

To deepen the relaxation let's introduce gratitude.

So when we inhale we say thank you and when we exhale we repeat thank you.

Please remember that you are who you think you are and your experiences comes from images.

So we continue with this wisdom when we're aware that the body has a stretchable ability and when we inhale it gently gently stretches like a balloon in the toes,

In the feet,

In the legs,

In the torso,

In the arms,

The hands and fingers,

The face.

Everything expands very gently and when we exhale it releases.

Now when we start to feel deeper and deeper sense of relaxation,

Deeper sense of presence,

Deeper sense of connection with our inside and with the environment,

We can ask ourself who is observing all what I'm paying attention to?

Where is the observer?

And what you'll see is part of you is observing everything,

Observing the breath,

Observing the mind,

Observing sensation and emotion.

And that part that observes is not what is observing obviously.

Yeah like if I'm looking at the wall I don't become the wall.

So why when I'm looking at an anger I would say I am angry?

Why when I'm looking at a thought I'll say I am thinking?

If it was correct that everything I'm looking at I am that so I'll be a wall,

I'll be a chair.

Yeah but if I'm not a wall it means I'm not angry as well.

It means I'm observing the wall.

It means I'm observing anger.

It means I'm observing thoughts.

Yeah.

So let's start and create separation between the observer,

Meaning the subject,

And the observed,

Meaning the object.

Creating space.

Yeah I'm observing the breath,

Observing the mind coming and going.

I am the space where the mind operates.

Observing sensation in the body.

I am the space in which sensation appears.

More than that let's become even more familiar.

From where do we observe?

Investigate.

For sure it's not your hand that observes,

Not your toes,

Not your abdomen I think.

So try to ask yourself which part of my body let's say observing everything?

Almost you can ask where is the mirror that reflects everything?

My experience and many many other people I'm working with is that it's the third eye and we can say as well it's the heart.

And the reason it's the heart as well is because the awareness connected with the object and the heart feels the object.

Yes so it's a combination of mind and heart awareness.

So when we are clear where awareness sits or resides let's practice it more.

Try to be present in that area of the third eye and observe.

Observe how the breath moves in and out.

Staying in the area of the third eye and observe emotions.

Stay the area of the third eye and observe your body,

Any part of your body.

Moving awareness to different parts and you see.

You stay as the observer.

You might find in those parts comfortable sensation or not comfortable but it's not you because you are just the observer.

Why is it crucial to understand that and to have this experience?

It's because that if we don't create this space between the observer and the object we're always running and identifying with what the mind tells us.

I am hungry.

I must have this.

Yeah why I didn't do that?

I should,

I shouldn't and all that messy.

Once you're aware that you're not that and you're starting to create space between the truth of who you are which is pure awareness and the object which can be anything including thoughts then you start to become free in your life.

Then you have a space to choose what you want and if you really want to enslave yourself and to be led by the mind that is functioning out of its conditioning thing that happened in the past.

So I wish you so much success and I'm sure there's no doubt that you can do it so beautifully and it will completely open and liberate your existence.

Many blessings to you my friend.

Have a beautiful beautiful day.
