Episode notes
You Are The Awareness
- You are the awareness that perceives thoughts, emotions, and senses rather than those contents themselves.
- This awareness is timeless and is the ground for presence that frees you from identification with the mind.
Allow Discomfort Before Seeking a Fix
- Learn to be with inner discomfort instead of immediately seeking external remedies like medication.
- Practice acceptance of arising emotions so awareness can enter the emotion and transmute its energy.
Be The Awareness For Your Emotions
- When an emotion arises, recognize you are the awareness for that emotion rather than the emotion itself.
- Stay as awareness so emotional thinking cannot take over and feed the pain body.
