Detached Observer
In this profound meditation, we explore beyond our body, our thoughts and feelings and experience. Exploring in this way, we become a detached observer, not allowing any one thing to affect us.
Sitting on a bench underneath a mimosa tree, I arrived at my breath. With my focus on my mind’s eye, I became aware of this body breathing on its own and perceptions of my environment that the five senses gave me. Exploring beyond this body, I am pure awareness floating by one of the tree branches looking down at this person sitting on a bench. Exploring beyond thoughts and feelings, I am pure awareness seeing them come up to the surface like bubbles and pop. Exploring beyond experience, I am the seer of the scenery. As the detached observer, I allow everything to be exactly as it is, without judgement or a need to change it.
As detached observers, we realize that thoughts come and go. They do not have any power unless we give them attention. We realize that experiences are also fleeting moments in time. Just like thoughts, perceptions, images, feelings, emotions and sensations in the body, they come, stay awhile and then go on their merry way. Realizing this, suffering can be more at a minimum as we explore this life of ours. Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️
