No tengo que creer en mis pensamientos
La conciencia plena no pide que eliminemos los pensamientos. Nos pide reconocer los pensamientos para no caer en un trance, el trance creado por los pensamientos. Hay una gran diferencia entre no pensar de ninguna manera y no creer en los pensamientos. Reconocer lo...Guided Meditation – In the Body
