Racing thoughts that jump from worry to worry . . . to the things that you have to do . . . to thinking about something that happened yesterday, can grow to be overwhelming and debilitating or cause strong feelings. When you learn how to stabilize your mind, you can reduce these thoughts, become aware when they are growing, and learn how to let them pass.
Think of your mind like a dark room, an attic with a lot of junk in it that you keep crashing into.
Walk into the attic - you can’t see a thing, and ... BANG!
Now imagine there is a candle in the attic but it’s drafty - making the flame dance wildly. Shadows jump, shapes flicker in and out of sight, and you can’t steadily focus on anything. This is what the mind can feel like at first - restless, flickering, hard to steady.
Then the breeze stops. The flame burns steadily. Suddenly, you can see the entire room clearly. You can relax and not worry about crashing into things. The warmth spreads, and there’s space to breathe.
This is what happens with guided practice when we learn to settle the mind: clarity, calm, and a gentle sense of ease.
With my guided meditation, I can take you up into the attic and teach you how to steady the flame of your awareness.
It takes some practice, some kindness toward yourself when it doesn’t work, and gradually learning to extend the space between the breeze.
Guided meditation works by using your brain’s ability to change and rewire itself (the region that activates habits) to develop and strengthen your ability to observe your thoughts. As you practice, you learn to replace the habitual tendencies of your thoughts with awareness and choice.
