Re: Three week Daily Awareness Course
As you go through the day, try impartially observing the mind to see what kind of emotions come up (as automatic responses) as you perceive
sounds,
can hear plane … now that you mention it. Emotion? … mmm … indifferent
images
All mirages. We all have an image not worth projecting. Emotion … mmm … indifferent
news
not watched yet. Emotion … bound to be anger, mirth at ridiculous behaviour
interacting with people. Pay particular attention to the things that bother you.
ah ha … they generate strong emotion, ranging from for to against.
