Ep.2 – How to Clear a Mind Part 1: Basic Principles of Grounding
<h1>Notes</h1> <p>Summary:</p> <ol> <li>An unclear mind consists of both interfering mental activity and an overall tense/foggy mental state.</li> <li>Often the best way to solve a problem is to clear your mind first. There is a way to do this for all kinds of mental activity - Grounding.</li> <li>Overall mental activity comes in a four stage map: 1. Still 2. Bubbling 3. Wandering 4. Looping</li> <li>This corresponds to the map for control when doing a task of interfering activity: 1. Focused 2. Poked 3. Leaping/Forgetting 4. Stuck/Looping</li> <li>Going up and down the levels of activity is a skill, and going down the levels is Grounding. </li> <li>What we want to do when the mind is foggy/overactive is often not good for clearing the mind (ex. watching TV). Activities that work well have three principles: 1. Cognitive Shift - letting go of topic and intending to change the state of mind 2. Opening up and relaxing the body 3. Settling the attention on something that isn't thoughts.</li> <li>Start practicing by learning to go down the levels of activity, by doing something you already like to do to relax, such as a hot shower or yoga, and intentionally doing it while keeping the levels of grounding in mind, and applying the three principles.</li> </ol> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.</p>
