How Long Can You Be in Silence?

7/17/2014

0 Comments

 
   Does your mind ever grip you in vicious circles? How much time do you think you really spend worrying, for example, and are you always fully aware of when you are worrying?

   For some people, your awareness of worry comes in the form of feeling compelled to distract your mind, feeling vaguely off, or constant movement - tapping or clicking your pen, biting your nails, bouncing your knee, popping up and down but never sitting still long. And a discomfort with being in silence.

   Ask yourself, what drives these behaviors, what prevents you from being comfortable with long silence? Or, even if you are comfortable in silence and stillness, does your mind become quiet, or does it rage on? And what percentage of your thoughts are positive, loving, uplifting, fun? Compared to what percentage of your thoughts are self-deprecating, replaying negative interpretations of experience, worrying, playing the "what if [x (undesirable thing)] happens" game?

   I have found that meditation is one of the most effective tools for becoming more aware of your thoughts and learning how to quiet your mind as well as be comfortable in the company of your own mind.

   Your mind is a powerful and wonderful tool - can you learn to use it to work for you instead of against you, can you cultivate easy focus, easy calming?

  If you would like some support in re-training your mind, give me a call! This has been my life's work - ever since I was a young child and not fully aware of what I was doing - and I am passionate about it because of all the healing and transformation work I have done, working with my mind has changed my life the most. How would your life feel different if you struggled less, experienced more ease, more savoring, more lightness?

Can you allow your mind to be quiet? or Are you addicted to thinking?
