Expression and observation of egoic tendencies
by Atman Nityananda
extracto del libro ‘MORIR PARA VIVIR’
Egoic tendencies manifest through thoughts and imagination as emotions, impulses, desires, energetic and physical reactions. Through self-observation we become aware of egoic tendencies in thought, emotion, movement, body and vital energy.
For example, when anger manifests, we can observe the thoughts that anger produces, perceive the emotional energy of anger in the heart and solar plexus area and in the head, observe the physiological changes in the instinctual functions of the body (such as increased heartbeat) and the force with which vital energy manifests.
When lust manifests, we can observe the thoughts and images (fantasies) that lust produces in the mind, perceive the emotional energy of lust in the head and in the area of the heart (thorax), the solar plexus, the agitation of the sexual energy, observe the physiological changes in the sexual organs, as well as the change in breathing and heartbeat.
The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
