We all have problems in life. Some are small, others are big. But whatever life is throwing our way, the one thing remains true ; We think about solutions and worries, whether it’s productive or not. sometimes this thinking can become so constant that it’s impossible to stop. The harder we try to stop thinking, the more intense our thinking becomes. Its all about learning the art of acceptance and letting go. ✨π✨ Namaste Lovely Souls. It's time for Today Vibes.πππThe first thing we need to realize is that thinking cannot be stopped. It only stops when the mind is left alone. The very effort to stop thinking will create more anxiety and conflict. You will be in a constant turmoil within. And even if you succeed in stopping it forcibly for a few moments, it is not an achievement at all. You may feel a sort of stillness, but not silence, because a forced stillness is not silence. Underneath it, deep in the unconscious, the repressed mind goes on working. So, there is no way to stop the mind.
Instead, it’s far more fruitful to learn the art of acceptance and simply watch the mind work. Don’t try to stop the mind or the thinking ; just watch it. Allow it total freedom. Let it run as fast as it wants. You just be a witness. Overtime, you’ll begin to create a gap between the observer and the mind, which is Zen.
“The deeper your watchfulness becomes, the deeper your awareness becomes, and gaps start arising, intervals. One thought goes and another has not come, and there is a gap. In those gaps, you will have glimpses of no-mind. Call it taste of Zen, or Tao, or Yoga. Through non-attached witnessing, eventually this will give you more control over the mind. Non-attached witnessing is the way to stop it without any effort to stop it. And when you start enjoying those blissful moments, your capacity to retain them for longer periods arises. Finally you become master. Then when you want to think, you think; if thought is needed, you use it; if thought is not needed, you allow it to rest. Not that mind is there, but you can use it or not use it. Now it is your decision! Love, light & Peace ✨ππππΏππ±ππΏ⌛️πππΏπ·πππ¨✨
