Meditation Exercise:
The audio recording below is a simple exercise to help you become aware of your self-aware brain and how it ties together with the other 2 primary parts of the brain (thinking/emotional and body). This exercise is more of an “experience” and less of a “lesson on development.”
More specific exercises for creating and maintaining the balance of the brain are offered under the relevant “pick your struggle”
SHORT DISCLAIMER:
Please note that I am not exploring here a favorite topic of philosophers and spiritual leaders which is “what am I” or more precisely “what is being referred to when using the word I,” as I believe this was less important in Traditional Chinese Medicine which was concerned primarily with the embodied experience (how dis-ease presents in a clinical situation.)
When using phrases like “you are aware of the thought” or “you are not creating the thought” I am only using these terms to highlight a particular aspect of experience that most people are unaware of. For the sake of clarity I will proceed under the assumption that “I” refers to the entire experience of the psyche as defined by TCM (which includes thoughts, feelings, emotions, awareness, will power, and intellect.)
