Treating the mind as a tool helps me describe what I try to do during meditation. The reminder below is my own way of stepping back from thoughts and returning to the present moment.
You are not your mind. Your mind is a tool. It should serve you. And not control you.
You are the master. So whenever it interferes, tell yourself:
“You are not the master, mind! I am the mastermind.”
Valon Asani – 26.11.2022
Whenever my mind is interfering, I tell myself exactly that: “You are not the master, mind!” … “I – my higher self – am the mastermind” (meaning the master over my mind” – And it makes perfectly sense to me.
And more important: it works. I can separate myself from “the mind”. I can let go of it. I learned this way to not identify with it.
Why I quote myself as the author of this is because I can’t find anyone else who said this before. While I use this during my meditation as it helps to calm the mind.
Google shows no results for that quote. So with humbleness I claim this quote. 🙂
