Advice we've probably all heard but don't always act on!<BR/><BR/>I would love to hear about any others that you do find a way to describe.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous - your gestures seem to cover the whole world - amazing!<BR/><BR/>Tinker - that difficulty of naming things is I think the one that the idea of using descriptive words helps with - if your brain is insisting on butting and using words at all then assigning it the task of description helps open you up to seeing. I'd love to know if that helps!<BR/><BR/>And these are not all about going into the same state... or at least they might be but as the door one enters through tends to colour how we experience it its easier to describe the different keys and not worry about whether they are all leading to the same land.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635758748108011584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-75150860822551478612008-03-14T08:32:00.000+00:002008-03-14T08:32:00.000+00:00I'm not sure if I've ever found an 'internal' key...I'm not sure if I've ever found an 'internal' key, but I know if I'm doing something physical, such as walking, as she mentioned - or even doing dishes or some other repetitive task, my mind will go into a different zone, though I think my favorite way is to explore some everyday object by drawing it...<BR/>I'm not sure if I can describe this next bit properly, but I've been trying an idea out from Eckhart Tolle/Oprah, where I just sit outside for a length of time, in a sort of meditative state - being awares of natural things around me, while not naming them - more or less trying to experience it as a child who didn't know the names of things yet, and there have been some very interesting and rather blissful experiences...but not as often as I'd like - it's rather hard to turn that 'naming things' part of my brain off...<BR/>Though all of this may be irrelvant, as I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the state of mind you're trying experience correctly or not - it almost sounds as though the person is describing having out of body experiences sometimes, as well as 'being in the body' at other times...<BR/>Since I'm realizing I'm not sure exactly what state of mind I'm commenting on now, I'll stop babbling on, now :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-74391028096590697632008-03-13T22:45:00.000+00:002008-03-13T22:45:00.000+00:00I'm back but wordage is now over there but my mout...I'm back but wordage is now over there but my mouth is here Caroline :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732532158833146797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-3978861496799839822008-03-13T18:09:00.000+00:002008-03-13T18:09:00.000+00:00i read this yesterday and was trying to think of t...i read this yesterday and was trying to think of the other internal gestures i use. i definitely have used most of the ones she listed! of course, i don't really "think" about these gestures, so perhaps i'll just pay attention and see if i can describe some other ones. <BR/><BR/>the ones i use most often are bringing awareness to parts of my body (which she mentioned) and taking a breath. others, i'm not sure how to describe!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381213681911598073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-8074724252894168032008-03-13T11:50:00.000+00:002008-03-13T11:50:00.000+00:00Anonymous - I know that feeling!Anonymous - I know that feeling!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635758748108011584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-5882153605356289082008-03-13T09:50:00.000+00:002008-03-13T09:50:00.000+00:00A key would be nice, so would sleep - my head's ov...A key would be nice, so would sleep - my head's over there right now but will return later when it's back here again :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732532158833146797noreply@blogger.com
