Samyama is a good tool

Nov 17

Father, yday didn't do meditation cos have dinner. Today is public holiday and can't do as got dinner with guest. Tomorrow also got dinner, so cannot do also.
Mind is making me feel guilt. Nevermind, I did my morning session.
Today breathe meditation is so peaceful. I felt so at ease sitting there. Didn't want to end. Also, the relax part after hatha yoga, I stayed on for 15 min. It was great. In future, will stay on.

Evening
Did my samyama, albeit only 20 min. Its getting easier.

With experience, we can begin to see how thoughts can actually create confusion and prolong unpleasant states of mind. Eventually it will become more obvious how one tot generates another, and how the momentum of tots tends to build on itself, cycling and recycling impulses through the mind.

Soul
Exactly, tots extrapolates, especially negative one. A tot came, cos negative one has past connection and hence build up is faster and longer.

Diamond Heart
Seeing these patterns of tots being woven together before our eyes, we may ask whether they actually create a solid cloth. Perhaps it is possible to view ourselves - not just our personality, appearance and activities,but the root of our being - in a different way. Such a fresh and open view could relieve the mind of the tendencies that freeze experience and makes us vulnerable to confusion. Once we know it is possible to loosen the hold of concepts that entangle us in emotional pain, we have taken the first steps toward a new understanding that could transform the quality of all our experience.

Soul
I know and now experiencing it. Whenever, m in my defensive mode, especially due to self-perceived 'rejection' from others. I would stop and see the tots from another angle.

Diamond Heart
With greater insight into who we are, what we are, what we perceive, feel, understand and interpret in the manner we do, everything we know might be considered from an entirely new perspective. Then we could analyse our assumptions more deeply, deciding for ourselves what it is possible to change or not to change, which ways of thinking are healthy and valuable, and which involves us in needless suffering.
As we continue to question, our tos may grow more vital and clear, opening up new possibilities for self-understanding and more control over the direction of our lives.

Soul
I know and experiencing it now, especially in the pool. This msg is similar to self-mastery; which is my dream.
