Hi love! Welcome back to the Spiritually Empowered Podcast! This podcast is for mystics, seekers, empaths, healers, and highly sensitive souls who are here to wake up spiritually, heal deeply, and embody their sacred purpose on this planet. Mystic Monday | Your Mind Is Lying to You: A Simple Meditation to End Inner Chaos This week I want to teach you a practice that genuinely saved my life when I learned it. After over a decade studying yoga, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Eastern philosophy, this is one of the cornerstone teachings I keep coming back to. If you have ever felt trapped in your mind, stuck on the carousel of chaotic emotion, and unable to get off, this episode is for you. 🎥 Watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUOyiQaN3vc&t=237s If you have ever felt: ~ Gripped by craving that grows no matter how much you feed it ~ Stuck in a loop of never feeling like enough, no matter what you accomplish ~ Identified with your fluctuating emotions instead of the steady self beneath them ~ Caught in the ego pendulum of good enough, not good enough, better than, less than ~ Ready to learn a real, practiced way to return to peace instead of just talking about peace This episode is for you. In this teaching we explore: ~ Tanha, the Buddhist concept of craving, and why the more you feed it the bigger the fire grows ~ Avidya, the ignorance or spiritual amnesia that makes us forget who we truly are ~ The difference between the lower mind, the fluctuating states of judgment and lack, and the true self beneath it ~ Witnessing consciousness, the practice shared across yoga, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Tantra ~ The soul as a drop of water and God, Brahman, as the ocean, made of the same substance ~ Why your soul withholds certain knowledge from you so you can live an authentic human experience ~ The Akashic records and the soul as the keeper of your whole lifetime of stories, wounds, and visions ~ How identifying with your emotional state, rather than witnessing it, is what causes suffering ~ A simple, sit up straight, eyes closed meditation practice you can use immediately to step out of the fire ~ How this practice expands your auric field and creates heart and mind coherence REFLECTION AND PRACTICE FOR THE WEEK Become aware of the carousel. Notice when you are in a repeating state of lack, judgment, or chaos, and simply name it, here is where I am. Accept it fully before trying to change it. You cannot shift what you have not first accepted. Practice witnessing consciousness. Sit up straight, close your eyes, steady your breath, and say out loud, "Everything is what it is. I am what I am. I am going to witness myself and be present with what is without trying to change a thing." Watch your mind the way you would watch a fire burn or a film play, without needing to interfere. 🔥 Free gift: The Energy Protection Bundle (verbal commands PDF + morning & evening meditations), the foundational practice of the empath and mystic.
