“I” becomes “we”

17 Apr “I” becomes “we”

In our meditation class on Tuesday we looked at Open Monitoring, Who am I and Love and Kindness Meditation.

All the above to make us aware of our Ego Self and then we looked at ways we can relax this Ego Self and how to reduce its effect in our daily lives.

As a conclusion to our meditation of six weeks on the Self and to round it up, open monitoring meditation was introduced to practice our attention on stillness and calmness whilst being aware of stimulation around you; observing, looking, listening without judgements and opinions.

The Who Am I meditation again looked at academically challenging your grip on your Personality or your idea of what you think you are or attachment to who you are because of the actions, roles, or attachments you have in life. This meditation was done to allow you to become aware of the Ego Self changing identity and you being aware of this happening but having the conscious ability to stay detached from it but having the ability to see how it is driving you and you having now the distance to respond consciously to how you want to behave. Here develops an awareness that you are a state of consciousness an awareness of awareness of which is greater than the Self.

We then looked at Love and Kindness meditation. This meditation endorses community spirit and our connection with each other and releases us from the preoccupation with ourselves. Hence the Ego Self is now considering others and not just itself. It is no longer “I” it has become “We”.
