Transcript

Hello and welcome to this guided meditation.

In this meditation,

You will realize yourself as a knower of everything that is perceived.

As a knower,

You are in a witnessing position and you are no longer at the mercy of what you perceive.

The known includes thoughts,

Emotions,

Body sensations,

Sounds,

Tastes etc.

Basically,

Everything that you are aware of or perceive is the known you.

Your true self is the knower of everything that arises.

It is very important to know this difference that everything that you perceive is the known and you are the one knower.

The known keeps varying but the knower is constant.

The witnessing consciousness is an aspect of your true spiritual self and this takes you to a higher,

Wiser and more powerful and loving level of consciousness.

This higher level of consciousness allows us to see experiences,

People and situations from neutrality and wisdom.

This clear seeing firstly makes us more peaceful and secondly allows a solution or a decision to emerge if needed.

When emotions are intense,

It is advisable to work on the emotional healing.

Please note that the absolute truth is that everything is the true self and the true self is the only presence which appears as everything in the world of form.

However,

We need to go through this intermediate step of differentiating between the knower and the known to break free from the ego mind.

Let us begin the guided meditation.

Please close your eyes,

Relax,

Become aware of the breath.

Realize that you are the knower of the breath and the breath is the known.

See clearly the difference between the knower and the known.

I am the knower of the breath.

Again,

Become very clear.

I am the knower of the breath.

I am the knower.

The breath is known.

Now,

Become aware of the weight of the body,

The sensation of weight.

Realize that you are the knower of the weight of the body.

The weight of the body is the known.

You are the knower.

See clearly the difference between the knower and the known and stay in the position of I am the knower.

Now,

Be aware of this voice.

You are the knower of the sound of this voice.

The sound of these words.

You are the knower.

This voice,

The sound is the known.

You are also the knower of the silence between words.

You are the knower,

The words and the silence between.

Be clear that you are the knower and this voice is the known.

Thoughts cause us a lot of suffering because we believe every thought that arises.

If you can see clearly that you are the knower of thought and thought is a known,

You will experience immense freedom.

You will no longer be at the mercy of thoughts.

As thoughts arise spontaneously and automatically as it's an old habit,

Be aware that you are the knower of thoughts and the thought is the known.

See clearly the difference between the knower and the known.

Become more interested in the silence between thoughts and realize that you are the knower of thought and you are the knower of the silence between thoughts.

I will remind you to move your awareness to the silence between thoughts and really see that I am the knower.

I have a choice.

I can move my awareness to the silence of my true self.

Stay in the position of the knower.

Be aware of the silence between thoughts.

Don't fight thoughts.

Simply move your awareness to the silence between thoughts.

Keep looking for the silence between thoughts.

Do not value the content of thoughts.

Value the silence between thoughts.

Keep looking for the silence between thoughts.

Value the silence between thoughts.

Keep looking for the silence between thoughts.

Value the silence between thoughts.

Keep looking for the silence between thoughts.

Value the silence between thoughts.

Keep looking for the silence between thoughts.

Value the silence between thoughts.

Keep looking for the silence between thoughts.

I'm very clear.

I am the knower of thought.

Thought is the known.

It keeps changing.

Thoughts are sometimes positive,

Sometimes negative,

Sometimes neutral.

They keep changing.

But you,

The knower,

You are unchanging.

You are eternal.

All thoughts report to you.

You have the power.

You have the wisdom.

You have the love.

You are the love.

When this meditation is practiced regularly,

You will gain the ability to not follow thoughts and choose silence instead.

You will learn to trust in the silence of your true self.

You will realize that when you are still,

You are actually knowing God.

Also,

As you practice recognizing yourself as the knower of everything perceived,

You will live life from a higher level of consciousness.

You will live life from the witnessing level of consciousness.

This level of consciousness transforms your life.

Yes,

It takes time and effort to live from this consciousness of love and wisdom.

But every effort is worth the unconditional love and peace that permeates our life.

Thank you and I wish you many blessings.

WONDERFUL!! I absolutely settled into being the knower. It is really comforting to be in that space since my ego self has been very strong lately. Thank you, Susitha ♥️♥️♥️

I’m committing to this meditation every day, twice daily. Phenomenally grounding meditation. Very grateful to have found this one

Profound insight as always from Susitha. Very pleasant sound quality as well. 🙏

Such a revealing meditation! My ego has overwhelmed me lately & finding space between thoughts is very important. I’m repeating this until I can do this on my own. My goal is to use it daily and eventually apply it to my body’s chronic pain. Peace be with you Susitha. 🙏🤗

Thank you for your blessings! Thank you for your guidance!

Dwelling in the silence between thoughts. What a lovely place to be.

Thank you for this wonderful meditation.. so powerful. I will be listening again.

Wonderful! Shifted how I work with thoughts. Value the silence between thoughts, seek the silence between thoughts.

I found this meditation very grounding, as I was following the Susitha’s instructions and able to return to the space between thoughts without getting swept away by them. I am going to return to this regularly, as it addresses two of my meditation challenges, focus and endurance.

Very useful, thank you. I am bookmarking this. At this time we are bombarded with information, images and resultant thoughts, the technique of 'The Witness' is vital for all in my opinion to not be led by the neverending stream of stimuli. Thank you so much. I will be repeating this until I can get greater control. 🙏❤️

Wonderful to have a moment of peace of mind. Looking forward to practicing. 🙏

Peaceful, powerful, informative. Soothing voice. This is a practice I intend to cultivate.

Many thanks for your wise and empowering meditation. It greatly helps this knower to go for silence and peace. Namaste 🤓🙏🏻

An excellent meditation for self observation. Thank you.

That was so helpful with judgement thoughts. Thank you

This is a good session for someone who is trying to explore or transition into a silent meditation practice. There are longer periods of minimal guidance to practice the skill of sitting in silence. Thank you for creating this content.

I experienced the feeling of limitless possibilities. The miracle that I am here, aliveness, life unfolding. It was so intense, I know I wasn't able to receive the full gift being given here, but I will keep returning. This recording is awakening. Susitha's work has and continues to change my entire consciousness from bondage to healing and freedom. Thank you thank you thank you.

Very powerful in differentiating the knower and the known.
I was able to find the silence in-between.
Thank you Susitha 🙏❤️

i struggle with my thoughts, not all the time but sometimes a certain thought will get stuck in a ruminating loop. This meditation is wonderful for focusing on that space between the thoughts. thank you 🙏

Love this one!! Focusing on the silence works well for me. Thank you for the concept of the knower and the known…very helpful ♥️🙏🏻🧘🏻🌈
