Key Aspects:
- Detached Observation: Watching your mind's activities (thoughts, feelings, sensations) as they arise and pass, without reacting, suppressing, or analyzing.
- Non-Interference: Refusing to feed or get carried away by the mind's stories or dramas, asserting the observer's power over the actor.
- Present Moment Awareness: Anchoring in the 'now' by focusing on breath or sensations, understanding that life unfolds in the present moment.
- Inner Peace: Cultivating a centered, calm, and harmonious state by disidentifying from the mind's turmoil.
- Spiritual Growth: Seen as a path to realizing your true, unchanging Self, distinct from the temporary mental and physical states.
How to Practice:
- Sit Comfortably: Find a quiet spot, close your eyes.
- Focus on Breath: Notice the sensation of inhaling and exhaling.
- Observe Thoughts/Feelings: Acknowledge them as clouds passing by, without judgment or engagement.
- Identify as Witness: Gently remind yourself, "I am the witness," or "I am the observer," as described
- Be the Doer (Akarta): Realize "I am not the doer," shifting from doer-ship to witness-ship.
