Going to share what I learned today from Singer's podcast. Yes...I am copyig what I heard because I couldn't say it any better if I wanted to lol...And yes, I do listen to him a lot and I share his teachings a lot...After the question I answered on the You tube channel, I am getting paranoid lol. He is not my guru. I just really appreciate what he has to say. I see him as a wise teacher who appreaciates Yoga as much as I do.
(Note some of these will be paraphrased rather than directly quoted).
You are not your mind, you have a mind
Consciousness is addicted to the personal mind so it is not that easy to step out of...
"I have a mind and it says different things at different times." [...is a good starting place]
Realize that you are noticing your mind....[ is another starting place]
"My job is not to change it, not to figure it out, not to be mad at it, not to say this part is spiritual and this part isn't. My job is can I sit in here and be okay with what it says....Can I be okay no matter what the mind says?" [Good question to ask self]
You are not going to stop the mind...
Use your analytical mind to examine and observe the personal mind
[ but don't analyze or get lost in story, thoughts, or emotions...just be aware of what personal mind is doing...]
Stay back here and notice...
Get to know the unknown...
Mind is not worth listening to...lean away from the direction of your mind
All is well!
