I always think when you feel happiness like I have today it makes me remember that peace and happiness are priceless and the best thing life can offer, I would way rather be happier and more at peace than be rich and famous.
It is a comfort again to realize again that my mind is normal and healthy! It is that my mind can find basically a very relaxed state of mind and that I can feel the comfort of knowing now that I do have the power to bring my emotions under control. I have always realized that I was a lucky person; and the greatest piece of luck was to come across these meditations by DTM. Thank you so much......ADB,MD
Obvious insight: you are a human being. Deeper insight: all human beings have brains that think and feel both thoughts and sensations. Deeper insights: thoughts can be automatic and spontaneous; sensations can be physical or emotional; Thoughts and Sensations can be comfortable and pleasureable or uncomfortable and painful.Deeper insight: human beings can be fooled into believing that their thoughts define who they think they really are. Deeper insight: all human beings tend to be judge and jury even outside the courtroom.
This morning I realized that my mind is normal. I used to think because I suffered from anxiety that my mind was abnormal. When I first swallowed a benzodiazipine pill, I felt normal for the first time! And now, by meditating first thing in the morning with this meditation, I realized that my mind was not fully awake and my mind was wandering again as it so often does. I would also like to mention that when asked to let my mind go where it wants, it did not want to go anywhere. ADB,MD
I came into this Meditation today, at this time, both angry and worried about the present situation in the USA and wanted to feel relief from my feelings of anger and worry. Our narrator said that we all, being human beings, are going to feel all the variety of feelings (emotions), some time or other, and that we should try to accept them and not judge them. When he asked to just let the mind go where it will go, my mind thought "just let go..." and that is where it went! I heard some remarks that were comforting to me: we just have to "muck" through these troubling times until they change...Hope these words are encouraging to you all.
@@kirstenerman8068 Kirsten, people feel anxiety in different ways according to how their nervous system tends to react. I believe it is unlikely that is going to change and your good doctors can advise you how best to prevent or at least relieve the discomfort in your particular case. Wish you well. Allan B
@@allanblum3993 thank you for your insights...and yes. I found my jaw pain is more related to stress vs anxiety...knowing this and talking with someone about it helps me know better where to look for the cause of my problem
