into stillness

View fullsize

what seems to be causing a lot of our suffering
is the habit of identifying with thoughts and mind-stories


asking: what is alive in you right now?
helps bring us back to being present


notice what happens when asking:
what sensations are alive in the body now?
simply listening to what arises


asking: what feelings can be felt in the body?
noticing what bubbles up
witnessing, wordlessly, what is


asking: are thoughts arising? any stories being told by the inner narrator?
listening, unattached, to the flow
purely witnessing what is


shifting from commentary to witnessing
from noise to stillness
