Letting your breath be your anchor of awareness,
so that each time your awareness goes somewhere else,
just gently coming back to breath without judgment or any upset, if you can do that…
just saying, oh, my attention’s gone somewhere else, just coming back to breath…
…and noticing the tendency to have an opinion about things…
…about liking the way things are going right now, not liking it,
finding it uncomfortable. That too can be an object of awareness,
just noticing that you have an opinion about things often.
So that’s my liking mind…
…just liking this, and there’s my critical mind saying,
it would rather have things different than they are, and that too can be noticed.
Building the capacity to notice liking or
Disliking, and not to have to do anything about it. How freeing that is.
