Changing the Relationship with Thoughts and Emotions
Rather than trying to quiet the mind or stop emotions, a new model suggests stepping out of them into pure awareness or taking them less seriously can be more effective. Progress from total identification with emotions to acknowledging them as passing through awareness can lead to a shift towards higher consciousness.
Identifying Various Levels of Thought and Emotion
From fully identifying with thoughts and emotions to noticing them as passing sensations through awareness, a progression towards disidentification can occur. This journey from 'I am angry' to 'there is anger passing through' allows for a shift towards a deeper awareness and less attachment to fleeting thoughts and feelings.
Utilizing Simple Mantras and Phrases for Disidentification
Using brief phrases like 'blah, blah, blah' or 'this is passing through a field of awareness' can quickly disidentify from overwhelming thoughts or emotions. Mantras like 'thank your mind for its opinion' or phrases that remind one of awareness allow for a shift in perspective towards a more detached relationship with one's internal experiences.
Empowering Awareness and Realizing the Nature of Change
By allowing emotions and thoughts to be as they are without trying to change them, paradoxically tends to lead to change within them. When one fully allows and notices their experiences, they often naturally evolve and pass through awareness. By recognizing the real reality of presence and disidentifying with internal virtual realities, a profound shift towards inner peace and acceptance is possible.
