You are not your thoughts! 🧘🏼‍♂️

in #meditation6 years ago

I recently returned from 9 days Vipasanna Meditation retreat (plan to talk about in more details on another post). It was very intense& tough but invaluable and highly insightful. One thing becoming clearer, experientially not just intellectually, is that we are not our thought but we are the ones who witness those thoughts. I have read such quotes (as shown in the picture) many times and thought I know this but only going deep into the mind I truly experienced what it really means. Distance between the observer and the observed is growing....Spiritual growth is happening. How simple and profound it can be to sit quietly & observe the breathing as it goes in and as it comes out....The Happy Breath!!! 🧘🏼‍♂️🧘🏼‍♂️🧘🏼‍♂️
