The truth is that you are not your body or your mind or thoughts. Your body and mind are like the water down below. There, your thoughts and emotions are like a breeze or wave that disturbs the water, causing the reflection to become jumbled and confused and imperfect.
Imagine floating on a serene lake at night, feeling the cool water buoy you up as you gaze at the starry sky. This episode of 'Happy Mind' takes you on a meditative journey inspired by the teachings of the ancient mystic Plotinus. Serena guides you through a 20-minute meditation that uses the metaphor of a mirror to help you reconnect with your true self, beyond the physical and mental layers that often define us.
Plotinus believed that our true nature is fundamentally different from our physical forms. Through spiritual transcendence, he taught that we could regain contact with the perfect within ourselves. Serena brings this concept to life, beginning with a visualization of a placid lake. As you imagine yourself floating, your body becomes porous, melting into the water. The water's surface acts as a mirror, reflecting the night sky and your inner self.
You'll be guided to breathe deeply, absorbing the darkness and light, and reflecting it back. The scene shifts to a sensation of bubbles rising from below, dancing along your skin, growing larger until you're enveloped in froth. The boundaries between water, air, and your body blur, merging into a harmonious whole. Every cell in your body expands and releases, creating a sense of evaporation into the starry night sky.
You become the sky, looking down on the now calm water below. The meditation ends with a bell, marking the completion of this transformative experience. This meditation offers a chance to practice stillness, reflect on the self, and achieve peace and serenity. Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this episode provides a unique opportunity to explore higher levels of consciousness and reconnect with your inner self.
