A thought or fear arises in your mind. Catch yourself before reacting emotionally and being drawn off balance. Don’t fight the thought, just watch it calmly.
Watch the thought pass from the secure position of the witness of the thought. Stay in this witnessing mode.
Remain as the witness and you will observe the hypnotic power of thoughts and words. You will see how being caught up in your thoughts in the past has possibly led to needless pain and suffering. Attaching yourself to thoughts makes them your master.
Detachment leads to ultimate freedom. The choice is yours. Moment by moment.
