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
- When a feeling takes me over I become it completely
- When a big emotion hits, it becomes the whole world
- I run on autopilot all day and the stress just quietly stacks up unnoticed until I’m suddenly snapping or fried
- I’m stuck way up in my head, this nonstop loop of inner talk running behind my eyes, and I can’t think my way out of it
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
