Day 4 Internal Dialogue

Today, we will visit one of the most effective tools in our meditation practice. Our own, internal voice. By using key sounds, words, or phrases, we can give an anchor to the mind.

It can be thought as a focal point on the floor when we are doing balance exercises. Gives the brain something to do, while the body completes its task.

So, what sounds, words, or phrases work best ? The short answer, is the one that works best for you as an individual. You may find that a sound works best, like “om’” or “shrim”. Here the internal sound can be used in coordination with the inhale or exhale.

Some may want to use a word like “peace” or “surrender”. Here again, using it in coordination with the breath. Or maybe a phrase like “here I Am” or “I feel peace”. Again, all these options give our mind a focal point and something we can return to when we get lost in our racing thoughts.

There are endless options here, and so give them a try without any judgement of choice.

Let me know what you find through the addition of this tool,

Daniel.
