The Anchor of Breath

Wir werden üben, Gedanken zu lenken und Raum zwischen uns und unseren Gedanken zu schaffen. Sei dir bewusst, dass diese wenigen Momente wichtig genug sind, dass alles andere warten kann und danach erledigt wird. Das Erkennen von Gedanken stärkt deine Fähigkeit, deine Aufmerksamkeit bewusst zu lenken. Gedanken sind nicht die Realität, sie sind nur unsere Interpretation. Wenn du dich von deinen Gedanken abkoppelst, hast du Raum für Wahlmöglichkeiten. Gedanken sind Informationen und Interpretationen der Realität, nicht aber die Realität selbst. Wenn wir insbesondere negative Gedanken zu sehr interpretieren und analysieren, fördern wir Angst und Furcht. Wenn du deinem Körper mehr Raum gibst, öffnest du dich für Intuition und Spontanität.

Gedanken lenken, Raum schaffen. Erkenne Gedanken als Interpretationen, nicht die Realität. Mehr Raum für Wahlmöglichkeiten und Intuition schaffen.
