Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
You watch your thoughts in meditation, and without judging them, you label them, “thinking.” That’s it. You do that over and over again as you sit on the cushion, because that’s how you bring presence to them, and that’s how you get out of the habit of automatically having a knee-jerk reaction to everything, thinking you constantly have to react.
The interesting twist with “watching the watcher” is that you’re watching the thoughts arise as if those thoughts are not you–as if those thoughts were spoken by someone else.
This can be a game-changer.
Changing the Questions
Suddenly, the question is not, “How can I stop thinking thoughts that are destructive?” and instead becomes: “What part of me is saying this?”
And suddenly, an emptiness can resound. Your mind sits, still, waiting for “what’s next.”
Let Samina share her experience with you all.
One such incident changed the course of my life completely . It was about selling the property and not hankering them to give an alternate accommodation.
Its one who faces such a situation then one realises the pain of letting go the most prized possession, where you have been born and brought up and you consider that to be your permanent residence. This was the first time I was watchful regarding my emotion and at the same time with all my memories of childhood I was searching new accommodation.
As I was watchful regarding my emotion, I could be with myself, and trust myself. You will think what’s difficult in that everyone does it. But there are various circumstances that one faces where one has no answers. But as it’s said that Faith can move mountains is what happened in my case.
To my surprise I pass through all the difficulties and I could sale my old property and buy new property with the help of estate agent who was very understanding and help me to sell and purchase new property at market rate. He took no advantage of me being gullible about the real estate market.
