What was I thinking?
 Spending time to be aware of our mental patterns is how to diagnose a disease before getting treatment. It is vital to discern what kind of thoughts are harmful and toxic and are leading us to suffering. Repetitive patterns, beliefs and conditioning may sound somewhat abstract, hence the importance of directly observing each one of those thoughts, one by one, and seeing what they are telling us ...
  We can observe how each one of them is speaking to us of our mind, although it is going to sip, how a good wine to be savored. So, only if there is real interest in being with them for as long as necessary and knowing all their subtle nuances will determine the result. We must give them time to let themselves be known, to speak to us by the mouth of each of their mental images, of their past concerns and future hopes, of the abstract content, ...
  We can only be aware and detach ourselves from all that personal part to let everything unfold naturally. If we have no interest in putting everything on our side, since there is no intermediate term, then everything will end. On the contrary, if we do something obsessive to obtain a quick result, it will become a mental fixation. It is as simple as learning to relax and be aware of those thoughts in order to detach ourselves from them. If there is a certain anxiety, we are giving them momentum in an unconscious way.
Thought is the only element in the experience capable of moving away from the present moment and therefore of feeling fully of the place where life takes place. He is also responsible for creating our small world of separation. From this exclusive identification with believing to be only a separate individual, all the problems that come from feeling compressed in a body, limited by a mind and separated from the environment, from others, nature and the world, from other objects are born .
  Everything and so, thoughts are energy that are part of the present moment and making the most of it is the smartest thing we can do. The mental part is not only necessary but essential. However, a simple deeper understanding brings us closer to the living experience of the present without all these strong beliefs, where every thought has its moment and place and the apparent duality appears as a mind game for this rich and beautiful communication to take place. of one through diversity.
  What we can do is redirect attention to the thoughts that are worthwhile, those that give us a higher vibration and benefit us, allow us to grow, bring us novelty and creativity in our day to day. And if we still can not find them or they are emerging to droppers it is because before we must erase from our hard disk those that do not interest us.
  Thoughts are pure energy, and we can see how they are transmitting an emotion to us instantly. Realizing that connection is vital. From there, we can also recognize those kinds of thoughts that literally make us vibrate with some truth and bring us closer to the direct experience of feeling. These are aligned with the experience of unity of which we are part.
  We are co-creators of every moment of our lives, hence we can decide which thoughts to follow and which not. It is a process, but we can realize how we create our world through thoughts but also through our senses that project this world before us. We have the real ability to stop following that egoic part so much and let ourselves be guided more by feeling. Realize that the senses, thoughts and emotions are totally intertwined, and so much so that they are the same. That is already a unit experience, being aware of it even though it may hurt, bother or bore you. The integrator of everything that happens in this experience of the present moment is presence.
