Quick takeaways

  • Transition from total identification with emotions to acknowledging them as passing sensations through awareness can lead to higher consciousness.
  • Using phrases like 'blah, blah, blah' or 'thank your mind for its opinion' can disidentify from overwhelming thoughts and emotions, fostering a more detached relationship with internal experiences.

Deep dives

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.
