Hello Everyone,
I really did enjoy the Subtle Mind exercise this week. I completely understood what they were trying to say there being three different levels of the subtle mind. Witnessing consciousness, calm - abiding, and unity consciousness. I can say that the man's voice is so annoying but the woman's voice I can handle. The breathing parts relaxed me and it was nice to get some peace and quiet. I have always used breathing to calm me ever since a child. The background noise was helpful as well. So the first part witnessing consciousness I did get pulled back and forth with my cluttered thoughts, feelings, and images. I think because as a women we are taught at a young age it is a good to thing to learn how to master multi tasking but I think this is why I have a hard time slowing everything down enough to clear my mind. So there was a lot of clutter ed thoughts and i had to keep going back to the breathing but I got the just of it. The the calm - abiding a little more difficult for me and again had to keep returning to the breathing exercises.I did not achieve the unity consciousness, which I'm sure takes a long time to achieve. I will continue to try this exercise because I did find it relaxing and I would love to be able to reach a much calmer state of mind to help me reduce some stress. All in all a positive experience with this exercise. Have a great day!
That is great that you found this exercise to be a positive experience! I found the same thing to be true that it seems a lot harder to really get to unity consciousness. The subtle mind exercise was a great technique to use while I was on my cycling rides!
