Episode Transcript
Appogie production. Hi, I'm Jennifer Cray. Welcome to your evening mantra.
If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or
lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax
(00:34):
your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention
to your breath, drawing your breath down into your heart.
(00:59):
Thoughts are just thoughts. You are not your thoughts, and
your thoughts aren't necessarily factual or truthful. The more separation
(01:22):
we can get from our thoughts, the more we see
the truth and untruth of thoughts. A helpful meditation exercise
is to label your thoughts as they come up. Name
(01:44):
what they are planning for future thoughts, reminiscing for past thoughts,
story making from making up situations that haven't occurred yet,
(02:06):
judging for any critical or judging thoughts. You can make
a special name for self criticism, like miss BOSSI or
mister not so nice, or maybe whoever your self critic
(02:28):
sounds like. If you get distracted from the labeling, feel
free to label that too distracted, and then gently bring
your attention back to your breath. By labeling, you can
(02:55):
easily notice what sort of thoughts you have. You can
see themes and patterns. You will experience the separateness from
your thoughts and come to know the truth for yourself.
(03:18):
Today's mantra, I label my thoughts. Repeat to yourself, either
out loud or in your mind. I label my thoughts.
