Episode notes
Disassociation and Mind Identification
- Mind identification is a stable form of disassociation, a process of moving away from immediate sensory experience into thought.
- This disassociation creates a hypnotic state for most people, causing avoidance of uncomfortable sensations and fearful narratives.
Exploring Contraction
- Pay attention to any contracted sensation in your body and let your attention go deeper into it.
- Notice the tendency of attention to turn away from the sensation, observing it from a distance or through thoughts.
Going Deeper into Sensation
- Recognize the tendency to pull away from the sensation, the 'no' or the hesitation.
- Ask yourself if you can go deeper into the sensation, understanding it will be a push-pull process.
