Awareness Beyond Thought
Experiences of loss, disappointment, and loneliness can lead to profound moments of reflection and heightened awareness. These states often bring about a deep concentration on one’s inner turmoil, highlighting how the identification with thoughts contributes to feelings of misery. People commonly encounter an interval upon waking where they can experience clarity before the weight of negative thoughts returns. Meditation serves as a tool to break this cycle by helping individuals detach from their thoughts.
