NOTE

**** Nondual insomnia. Difference between thinking & awareness. His epiphany**

Experiencing insomnia linked to anxiety creates a feedback loop of self-doubt and heightened arousal. Traditional coping methods, such as controlling or suppressing thoughts, often prove ineffective. A significant insight emerges when recognizing the distinction between the thinking mind, which judges and compares, and the awareness that observes these thoughts. This realization acts as a pivotal moment, unveiling a previously unrecognized aspect of experience. Embracing this awareness initially alleviates insomnia and extends its benefits to managing anxiety in various situations, such as broadcasting. As one begins to explore the relationship between the thinking mind and the aware mind, awareness becomes a constant presence, enhancing the richness of experiences. The progression from unrecognized awareness to a more subtle and eventually obvious presence transforms one's daily life, fostering a sense of safety and comfort in its continuity.
