Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep straining to "get into" a meditative state like awareness is something I have to switch on and aim
- Noting has become second nature and now I’m curious about the one doing the noticing itself
- Whatever I touch in my morning sit completely evaporates the second real life starts, and the calm stays locked in "meditation time"
- My harsh self-critical thoughts land like verdicts on who I fundamentally am, and they devastate me because I take them as the truth about my whole self
- I’m so absorbed in monitoring myself that everyone around me has gone blurry, and I have a feeling that if I actually turned toward one person and asked what they need from me right now, my own loop would quiet down on its own.
Practices that may help
- Non-Dual Awareness, Made Practical
Non-dual awareness is a mode of consciousness in which attention is no longer exclusively identified with the contents of experience (thoughts, sensations, feelings) but rests as the open, aware space in which those contents appear. Loch Kelly’s "effortless mindfulness" approach uses short recognition exercises to shift into this mode; research on the broader open-monitoring family of practices finds reductions in anxiety and rumination, though non-dual awareness itself is a newer research area with limited controlled trials. - Glimpse practice: a 10-second recognition of aware space
