Draw or visualize a circle encompassing all your thoughts, both conscious and subconscious. Add a horizontal line, positioned around two-thirds up the circle, distinguishing one-third for conscious thoughts above the line and two-thirds for subconscious thoughts below it. Envision this line as a flexible, semi-permeable membrane, containing holes facilitating the movement of thoughts in either direction.
This permeable membrane is controllable, allowing you to summon forgotten memories or repress unwanted thoughts. Like a director guiding actors, you influence the flow of thoughts consciously, but some exchanges occur automatically. This semi-permeable divide grants a degree of control, similar to directing your breathing.
Adopting the perspective of a witness to your mind and body activities fosters non-reactivity to emerging subconscious thoughts, feelings, and sensations. This non-resistance permits old, ingrained habits and vexations to surface, akin to a spring cleaning process. As you become non-reactive, unwanted thoughts dissolve when brought into conscious awareness.
The key lies in relaxation. Increasing relaxation enables better discernment and separation of thoughts from concurrent bodily sensations. Recognize that each thought corresponds to a specific body tone, akin to the vibrations of musical strings. Relaxation allows stored tension in muscles to release, triggering the dissipation of old vibrations and thoughts.
Conscious relaxation initiates the process. Begin with simple exercises, like resisting the urge to scratch an itch, relaxing your face, or focusing on the sensation of breathing. Gradually, you gain control over the size of openings in the semi-permeable membrane, facilitating the dissolution of old vexations.
By practicing this approach, you unlock the ability to savor more moments in life. Recognize your innate capacity for happiness and understand that, by pushing unwanted thoughts into the subconscious, you’ve inadvertently expanded its size. Now, it’s time to help it release and bring about a positive transformation.
