How to step out of compulsive thought-patterns and self-defeating behaviors? Thoughts and feelings have to be tackled as a package deal. These are 4 trusted methods to break through to a higher plane of consciousness, ranked by their degree of difficulty: mindfulness, insight and reprogramming, with the fourth, self-inquiry, being perhaps the hardest to accomplish, but with the promise to connect us with Consciousness Itself.
Level 1: Mindfulness
Just observe what happens in your mind, and what you do without judging. Just observe energy in motion.
Level 2: Insight
Discover the root-cause of your imbalance. Discover ‘self’, which itself is just a bundle of sensation, memories, thoughts, feelings, aspirations and fears, in action.
Level 3: Reprogramming
What fires together, wires together: step away from the old mental loops and compulsive behaviors by focusing your attention on something new.
Level 4: Self inquiry
Every problem is an opportunity. The question, ‘To whom does the thought occur?’, dissolves this stuck energy knot—as well as our self identity altogether— in one magnificent Aha realization.
