Roses & Garbage (Cognitive Dissonance - 20 min) Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity
-
- スピリチュアル
The beauty of a rose. The filth of garbage. These are concepts in our minds. They are representations that we use to affix a skin to the surface of reality. The truth is that beauty and filth are two halves of single whole. If you look deeply enough at a rose and rubbish, you will see that they are one and the same. We can uncover this truth through a mind training technique known as ‘cognitive dissonance’. The mind naturally holds onto energies. It uses emotions to unconsciously sustain tension and fear. It is doing this to keep us at the ready, to protect us from harm in the short term. But over time, this tension or fear can result in ill health and harmful negativity in our life. But the mind and the body can also let go. It’s just that sometimes it takes a little coaxing, a little bit of brain hacking. ‘Cognitive dissonance’ is just such a technique. The mind can’t hold on to two opposite ideas or instructions simultaneously. This is why in this meditation we instruct it in these opposites. Try it and experience your tension melt away. Like a gentle massage back and forth on knotted muscles, this guided meditation will help release the tension in your emotional and physical self.
