Tadatama ~ Its not the thoughts that bother us.. It is our intense attachment to the thoughts!!

Our vibes convey more than our words!
Take moment to notice this ongoing inner phenomenon. 
The magnificent play of our breath, thoughts, feelings and emotions!
Like the waves are in the ocean, our thoughts rise and fall in our consciousness. 
Thoughts do not bother us till we are just a witness to them and allow this background activity and play to simply carry on.

The trouble begins immensely the moment we start to hang onto, attach, identify and churn on our thoughts, 
That's when we empower and fuel the thoughts through
our ego, strong feelings and emotions.
And we find ourselves amidst of the storm of disharmony within,
Notice yourself or someone going through this disharmony...

The only word of caution is ----Beware!!! 

The understanding and knowledge of Tadatma offers a choice at this time...drown deeper into the ocean of disharmony or take a life vest and save your self!
Our thoughts are absolutely powerless if we do not identify ourselves with them...they are the cause of immense destruction when fueled with the ego, self pity and identification. 
Knowledge is knowing when to tactfully detach oneself from the thoughts before they get the power to rule over us!
So, when a strong thought arises .. label it as thinking mind or just a thought and let go!

Does that mean we will not get carried away with the thoughts?
Absolutely not!
Every now and then we all come across situations, thoughts and emotions where we all are swayed away with them. However, the awareness and knowledge of being a witness and observing ones own self does help immensely to reduce the anger, reaction and bounce back time!! 

If you think you are free, you are free..
If you think you are bound, you are bound..
You can live in the cage trapped forever in the walls of perfection, imperfection, freedom, fear, worries, regrets, anxiety, guilt...
Or set yourself free, right in this moment...
The choice is yours..
Inhale, exhale, let go and live free!
No one else can do it for you...No one else can set you free!!!
It’s all in your mind!!

🌹Peace, Love and Grace
