it seems i can only be aware of certain sensations at a time, such as sound, thought, emotion, but not the full now.
the awareness feels more like a focus on a sensation. How do you achieve focus of the whole now?
in theory i can acknowledge that the focus is part of the now, but im not sure how to apply it
For context I have just started getting into the power of now, but I got confused with this saying:
Eckhart says that creativity is a state of no mind, whether the artist recognizes it or not
But I am confused because when I am making art, music in this instance, I imagine how I want it to sound like, which I try to recreate. I'm struggling to see how something like that is from a state of no mind, because it is something I thought of.
I am suffering a lot from self doubt, insecurity, and limerence. Whenever i get certain thoughts, it feels as though I automatically get a physical reaction in the form of a very slight spasm or a skip of a heartbeat. i also get emotional from them some times.
i hear a lot about how mindfulness helps us to choose how we react, but these genuinely feel automatic
are these considered my reactions if they seem automatic? are these types of reactions actually automatic?
