The Mind
The inner space
The mind is the inner space where everything that happens affects us interiorly and originates.
Feelings, emotions, thoughts.
To get in touch with our mind as “a space in which everything happens” does not appear desirable to us or, at least, interesting, because we are already in contact with our mind…
What is the point of being aware of something I am already natively conscious about?
“A man may conquer a million men in battle, but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors”
[Dhammapada (v. 103)]
The lie of the mind
Yet behind this simple observation is hiding a lie very deep and with very pervasive effects.
The mind misleads and does not tell the truth.
Which is that we are rarely in a relationship with it, we definitely do not know it and we don’t control it.
The result?
In the end, we are dominated by it, unknowingly.
Mindfulness
The art of developing Mindfulness is the key to begin unravelling this deception and repossessing spaces of freedom as deep as unexpected.
Developing this faculty is an art that can be learned.
This path can begin either through Counseling sessions, by approaching the practice of Meditation, or through work with the body.
