Today we explore further on thoughts and the internal dialog with a small exercise...
Close your eyes and take a deep breath and call to mind someone or something that is very dear to you, someone you love, your spouse or partner, your child or your pet or a friend...
And picture them smiling and happy.
Notice how you are smiling in your mind, perhaps even a real smile appears on your face...
Notice how it colors your mind.
Now imagine someone or something that you do not like, and notice how it triggers anger, anxiety, regret or
grief. Notice the spectrum of thoughts and sensations changing... This also colors your mind
Now think of something you are hoping for some time, imagine you have it or it already happened, feel that happiness and joy. Picture how grateful you are. And again notice how this colors your mind.
You can see how thoughts color your mind. How in this short time you can experience many different sensations, and this does not happen only because of me asking you. It is happening all the time and is something you can practice on your own.
What appears when thinking, are merely states of energy, an energy that is easily changed when your mind changes focus.
Our practice for tomorrow; when you find yourself lost in thoughts and they are negative and coloring your mind, just accept them and observe them as the thought itself, the state of energy.
And notice as soon as you explore that experience how quickly it loses power.
Thank you for practicing with me, it means a lot ♥
