How can we be comfortable with how matters are right now? In this week’s directed meditation, Dr. Mark Britain offers a exercise to make us aware of feelings, feelings and thoughts that come out in practice, advance the presence of the rest of his life.
It is a process that is both solid and sympathetic. Dr. Britain guides us to note our tendency to deny or try what is happening in our life, and then find a third way – from where we want to see things as clearly as possible, so that our decisions can be filled with the awareness, skill and care of everyone involved.
A meditation to get comfort with how matters are
After each paragraph, stop and follow the guided meditation script below. Or listen to audio practice.
- Start with a comfortable currency you will be able to maintain a few minutes of exercise. First, make our body feel kind and patient aware. Consider how you are sitting. Adjustments so that you feel awake and smart. Look at the fields of stress, and see if you are able to leave them a bit, collect your awareness and make it feel in breathing.
- Allow the need to do anything or do anything right now. You can re -appreciate the moments where you successfully withdraw from the breath. The brain is always busy. There are things that draw our attention and awareness throughout the day, and every moment you come in breath is a moment of awareness, a moment of intention. When you get involved, remember the feeling of intentions clearly. You can say to yourself, Oh, my mind is busy And then let go and come back into the next breath.
- Next, raise your consciousness to your body completely. Most of us live with happiness experiences, and sometimes even moments of suffering or pain. And if something definitely needs adjustment so that you can get rid of some physical pain right now, it’s always fine. But for something else that is either comfortable to work with you or change at that moment, see if you can easily see it, and then come back into the breath.
- Now, keep using your breath lightly as an anchor, to make your consciousness feel your emotional quality. By changing your consciousness. Emotions are part of our experience. They are there whether we recognize them or not. They affect how we think and how we interact with the world, so it is empowered to promote a sense of open and careful awareness. Living peacefully with our emotions and passing through and passing is the main focus of living peacefully in the world. It is also basic to be in touch with our best intentions, because if we are not paying attention to them, emotions are just a tendency to run.
- See if you can allow yourself for the next few minutes to be aware of your emotions. If they are difficult, offer care. Offer sympathy and allow yourself to experience them. Leave any need to fix or replace them. Right now I am facing happiness, Or Right now I’m facing sadness, Or whatever emotions come to mind. Can you also feel sympathetic in this part of this process? Tilt to the intention of treating you as you will be a toddler or close friend.
- Remember, if your brain engagesThere is always the option to come back to follow the breath.
- Now, let us move our consciousness to ideas. Thoughts can be felt all the time, and even through meditation, we cannot stop them. This is never a point. Rather, we are asking if we can live more comfortable with this part of our experience, acknowledging that each of us has our own habits. We create stories, stories that try to understand our past or the project in the future. Problems can feel sticky and users and rumors. So for these few minutes of practice, can we note ideas only as ideas? Fear only as fear. Imaginative concepts only as concepts. Their observation like clouds that pass through the sky, and even with a sense of peace and care. My brain is still in a state of agony. It is really tired. Or at a different time we may experience a quiet brain, a simple brain, when they see thoughts more easily. But through exercise, just consider and name: Oh, she’s thinkingAnd then return to breath again.
- The intention and point of view we bring the process is the fundamental to itself. Through exercise, we can plan to live with more awareness and compassion and self -care. Even during the most difficult times. When we need to do the exact work or communicate well, it has the ability to keep in touch with our best intentions. So when we practice, whatever happens will happen. But can we do our best to be aware, keep thinking, and be kind?
- When we bring our practice closer, come back in breath for a moment. After that, you may be planning to continue this feeling of sympathy and kindness as you move forward in the rest of your day.
