To be focused on a problem IS a problem

I promised you my insight, here it is!

When we have a problem, we’re focused to fix it.
So our mind / consciousness is narrowed to that problem solving.

Isn’t it good to be focused?

But,
we don’t see anything else, - we’re focused.
The problem is that we don’t see alternatives.
Maybe not all alternatives, maybe at all.
That we’re about to “solve” the problem and acting “from”, not “to”.

Away from problem is NOT towards our dreams?

So… when we have inner chatter in our minds, we don’t hear birds that are singing around us 🎶 and nature’s beauty 🦢🦩

We don’t see the park - we see the office while being in the park 🌳🌲🌴
We’re not enjoying the beautiful weather 🪷, fresh air, breathing 🫁, drinking a good water 🌊 and many other privileges that we have.

How to stop being so focused on the problem?

I would suggest 9 breathing purification meditation
What it does is to de-focus and percept the world more fully 🌍
The next post is devoted to that meditation.

Nine Breathings Meditation

⭐️ This meditation I learned from Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, in 2016.
It helps to stop inner chattering and also to cope with physical and emotional pain.

⏳️The text here describes the 1 week of 6 week retreat to study the meditation. However, even the 1 week is helpful.

Preparation

1️⃣ - at first it is better to do sitting, to make the fifth point sit somewhere confidently / nest somewhere 🧘🏻🧘🏻‍♀️.
As soon as you understand what it is about, you can inhale and exhale nostrils while going or doing other matters.

2️⃣ - visualize the channels as in the picture.
For women the red 🔴 channel is on the right,
for men on the left.

3️⃣ - realize the tensions in the body - the desire to move / go, to tense / relax / sleep / squeeze, attack - what the body wants to do in connection with your current context.

  • Notice emotions in their purest form, and how they affect the body, including breathing.
  • Notice also the inner chatter, and
  • The fantasies of situations that play on a record.

You accept everything, you don’t reject them.

Breathing Start

4️⃣ - (for women side). Clamp your left nostril with your finger, inhale through the right nostril with green light.
The green light fills the red channel 🔴.
Transfer your finger to the right nostril, exhale through the left nostril. When you exhale the same time imagine the light moving through the central blue channel with all emotions / words / fantasies that are about aggression - 💔, accusations, guilt, etc.
💨 Do 3 such breaths

5️⃣ - similarly neighboring channel, mirror - clamp the right one first, inhale green light that fills the white channel ⚪️. And exhale through the central channel, clamping the left nostril with a finger.
Exhale that is connected with attachments ❤️, too strong desire, greed, etc. - extreme degrees of too strong interest in something;
💨 Do 3 of these breaths

6️⃣ - inhale through the central blue 🔵 channel with both nostrils, exhale unconsciousness, ignorance, lack of knowledge, doubts, etc. darkness, through the crown chakra, and dissolve in space.
💨 Take 3 breaths like this

💨 Here’s a total of 9 breaths.

7️⃣ - bring your pure attention to the center of your body.
Remember that everything is both a particle 🔘 and a wave 〰️
Strengten reminiscence. Start with what you see:

  • 🏘 if you’re in a room, the 🪑 on which you sit is a bond of particles and waves
  • The wall is a multitude of particles and waves
  • The food you ate is atoms and particles in space 🥙
  • Your hand and leg🦶🏿are collectible of atoms and waves

Continue :

  • your emotions
  • fantasies
  • your inner talk are too - some kind of particles and waves, probably electromagnetic ✨

Dissolve everything and see all at the same time realizings that you’re in a soup 🍵 of particles and waves. Or in a cake 🥮

8️⃣ - Then ask yourself what is “you” then?

Done!
