The rebellious ego mind does not always want to follow directions, constantly looking for distractions, analyzing, straying, and losing focus. Once “trained” to be still the experience of the mind/body meditation, Journey On, actually worked as I intuitively knew it would. Why is the mind so rebellious? Why is it so much easier to be skeptical rather than just allow the knowing to take over? Once my mind accepted its release from bondage, that it was ok to submit to the power of suggestion, I felt the heaviness and subsequent relaxation. Perhaps there is some sub-conscious self-preservation mechanism that blocks supplication to suggestion. It would be rather inconvenient to go through life responding to all suggestions thrown at us, wouldn’t it?
I like your choice of words, "... mind accepted its release from bondage..." How much in life do we miss due to the mind refusing to accept what is before us? Almost an abandonment of "true" reality to hold on to something neatly fitting inside the box. While responding to all sugesstion may be a great distracting phenomena (we all have "things" to prioritize throughout the day), just think of the new realms that could be opened, the insights gained.
ReplyDeleteDianna, I guess we were trained since little to have rebellious mind. We were never train to have a healthy mind, do meditation, or any type of technic for the purpose. Our parents always were funding fears and stress by following the rules of our society or cultures.
ReplyDeleteGood to know that know we have the opportunity to teach our kids to train their mind to healthy and great life.
Good Commend Dianna!
