Start for freeIn today's fast-paced world, finding moments of tranquility and clarity can feel like an uphill battle. Amidst the chaos, a simple, yet profound 15-minute guided exercise has emerged as a beacon of peace, offering individuals a pathway to inner silence and awareness. This journey, led by spiritual teacher Mooji on 29 November 2023, serves as an invitation to explore the depths of your being and awaken to the joy, peace, and power that reside within.
Embracing the Silence of Being
Mooji begins the exercise with a gentle reminder to sit and direct our attention to the silence of our being. For some, this might resonate more deeply as the vibration or feeling of 'I am,' an awareness that doesn't attach to any specific shape or form. This sense of beingness, Mooji explains, is inherently impersonal and filled with an indescribable joy, peace, and power. The key is to maintain focus solely on this state of being, letting go of any distractions or inclinations to engage with the mind's chatter.
The Power of Detachment
For newcomers or those less familiar with such practices, Mooji acknowledges the potential challenges in staying focused. The mind may wander, attempting to lure your attention away from beingness. However, Mooji reassures that what might be perceived as failure is, in fact, part of the journey. The practice is to persistently bring your attention back to a state of 'Emptiness,' a state devoid of personal identity, past, future, or any conceptual thought. This, Mooji assures, is where true transformation begins.
The Role of Awareness
Throughout the exercise, Mooji emphasizes the importance of remaining as pure awareness. This state of awareness is characterized by a clear, awake, and alert presence that transcends the mind's pull. It is a form of consciousness that exists beyond time, identity, and thought. Mooji guides participants through this process with the symbolic clacking of sticks and the ringing of a bell, cues to let go of mental distractions and stay grounded in emptiness and awareness.
The Exercise's Impact
The final moments of the exercise invite participants to open their eyes while maintaining the same level of awareness. This practice reinforces the realization that true seeing involves being the unseen, embracing a state of awareness that is not fixed on any particular object or concept. It is a reminder that the essence of our being is timeless, vast, and profoundly beautiful.
Conclusion
Mooji's guided exercise offers a powerful yet accessible way for individuals to connect with their inner silence and awaken to their true nature. It serves as a reminder that amidst life's turbulence, a sanctuary of peace and clarity exists within us. By dedicating just 15 minutes to this practice, we can begin to explore the depths of our being, uncovering a source of inexhaustible joy and tranquility.
As we close this session, we are reminded of the transformative power of silence and the importance of returning to this state of awareness throughout our daily lives. This exercise is not just a practice for the mind but a prayer for it to find its home in the heart. In embracing the teachings of Mooji, we allow ourselves to embark on a journey of self-discovery, peace, and ultimate freedom.
