Life can be hectic; sometimes chaos surrounds us in every imaginable direction. But just because the world around us is in disarray, doesn’t mean the world within us has to be too. πΏ Namaste Beautiful People. It's time for Thursday Thoughts π You can get rid of all the insanity inside you created by others, the past, and uncontrollable events, Just by being a simple witness of your thoughts. It’s about sitting silently, and witnessing the thoughts passing through you. Just witnessing at first, not interfering and not even judging, because by judging too rapidly you have lost the pure witness. The moment you rush to say, “this is good” or “this is bad,” you have already jumped head first into the chaos. Be mindful of the present moment. Mindfulness means “getting out of your head” and “being aware of your immediate surroundings,” using all your senses. You do this in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way. The importance of being mindful isn’t to distract yourself. It’s to support observing your thoughts and accepting them. It takes a little time to create a gap between the witnessing of thoughts and your reaction to them. You are the witness, a watcher, who’s capable of changing your mind and rising above the turmoil. And this process of thought-watching is the very alchemy of true mindfulness. Because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, the chaotic thoughts start disappearing. You are thinking, but the mind is empty of senseless chatter. That’s a moment of enlightenment – a moment that you become, perhaps for the first time, an unconditioned, sane, truly free human being! Love, light & Peace ~ Hari Om Tat Sat ~ Om Namah Shivaya ! ππ»ππ»ππ»
