Where you place attention is where your energy goes.
But where do you end up parking?
As the year drew to a close, I was reminiscing about things I have done and not done.
This also resumed my seasonal project of noticing where my thoughts and feelings go.
Where they go, is where my attention goes.
Hence where my energy goes.
Then the follow up question, was that energy well spent?
This makes for an interesting exercise, If you consider the notion that our thoughts and feelings create our reality,
As I was noticing I realized I was exhibiting a classic behavior.
I was placing value on my experience.
A "positive" value on one and a "negative" value on another.
What you may call…...judgment.
Generally speaking there is a tendency to get bogged down with one kind of judgment. Negative judgment.
“how could he be so stupid” , “what's wrong with me?”, “people are mean” and so on.
Then there is "positive judgement". Another form of judgement.
As soon as you say something is "good" and you have automatically created what is not that.
Say something is "right" and you have automatically created what is not that.
Consider the notion of judgment as a....charge.
Judgment, is applying positive charge or negative charge to an event, experience or person.
First labeling, then placing value.
Good OR bad.
Right OR wrong.
Nice OR mean.
Happy OR Sad.
Ultimately, beyond individual perception, is there a such thing as good/bad or right/wrong?.
But often, what we think of as "the way it is" is actually a choice we make.
Choice made, moment to moment. Choice of a framework.
A framework which polarizes thoughts into opposing values.
Good OR Bad.
Light OR Dark.
What does this cause?
Fragmentation.
Separation.
This maybe what some call "Duality".
Is there another framework one could experiment with?
How about….
Right AND Wrong?
Good AND Bad?
Light AND Dark?
In it’s mechanics, this approach has a heterogeneous inclusiveness.
Wholeness.
Integration.
Reunion.
Maybe the statement 'transcending duality' does not lend itself to understanding of it's practice. Maybe some carry it into practice as "there should not be any opposites in my thinking or feeling"
I wonder if it's really about 'accepting duality' by accepting opposing values. Hence inadvertently "transcended" Duality.
Experiencing both sides and abdicating the need to be polarized to either side.
But what stops us from including "bad" AND "dark" AND "wrong" in our reality?
Could it be a judgement or value we place?
Say you find yourself in a charged situation.
Maybe triggered by something inside or outside of you....a deadline you forgot, rush hour traffic, a coworker or a partner.
what do you do?
The action we take, by thoughts, words and doing......by either shunning (ignoring it) or indulging, are both, a force.
A Force, that adds to the impetus of an already charged situation.
None of which allows discharge. Release.
Release is healing.
ok, so you just got triggered. When you do your thoughts can be like a raging tornado.
What if you suspended your irresistible urge to label? the need to place value?
What if you leaned back and just engaged in noticing? Without 'doing' anything.
Not doing anything, with your thoughts especially.
Avoiding the need to label or make qualitative statement inside your head - "right" "wrong", "anger" "sad", "happy", "pain", "love" etc.
What if you make a different choice?
Even momentarily.
What happens if you just breathe, "engaged" in noticing?
Like a neutral observer not offering value.
Particularly, not offering positive or negative value.
What happens then?
Since "do nothing" maybe unrealistic when you are freshly triggered, what if you switched focus to your body?
Is some part of your body tense? Does this tension have a shape? regular or irregular?
Maybe it's your upper back. Back of your neck. Solar plexus. Knees. Chest.
Where?
Is it close to the skin? Or few inches deep?
What if you can avoid naming it "anger", "pain", "irritation" or "joy" ?
Does some part of your body feel closed? Indifferent? Open?
Is there a speeding up somewhere? Is you breathing shallow or normal?
What if you allow the breath to free fall from head to toe?
What if you start focussing on the underlying wellness?
What happens?
Does what you are triggered by, well up? Or run out of steam?
Did it help to have no outside interference (you placing judgement) ?
What do you notice?
