Practice of Observation and Self-Awareness

Observing the changes in your mind without judgment or suppression allows thoughts and feelings to merge with the observing mind, leading to transformation. Restlessness can be addressed by sitting quietly, following your breathing, and illuminating the restlessness without trying to make it disappear. Through self-awareness and observation, psychological states soften and align with the observing mind, fostering understanding and transcendence.
