Mastering our Senses

"Remember, peace is not found by silencing the world, but by quieting the mind. When you master your senses, you will find that the world itself becomes a source of peace."

BY ELENI ARONI

When we loose our clarity in solving problems, in crisis management, in decision making, communicating with others, one of our senses is overwhelmed! Think about it….

Remember incidents and remember which sense overwhelmed you…
Was it what you saw? Or heard? Or tasted?. Phrases like “what you say disgusts me or what I hear hurts me or when we talk and ask the other don’t you see it? show vividly which sense is overwhelming us or which sense is preferred.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to have clarity to respond when that happens!

However, if you start practicing:
1. To identify your sense preference and hold it!
2. To insist including ALL your senses in your response (what am i seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, sensing on my skin?)
3. Clarity will gradually appear, since the mind regains it’s peaceful nature
4. The mind will discern in a peaceful mode your best attitude to the specific incident
5. Your attitude will be Useful, Meaningful and will be the Right one!

Because:
When you withhold your overwhelmingness (a few deep breaths are very helpful!)
When you insist to want to know All the Truth (and not only the part of the truth that you are used to or is easy to face)
When you “filter” the situation through all your senses Before you react and not impulsively come out through any sense that is dominating you or pushing you.
What will appear in you mind either pleasant or not, will make you feel expanded (and not pressed) will give you a liberating clarity
You will “know” what is the right attitude for the situation at hand, in a way that is more intuitive, less logical maybe but clearly right and meaningful.

This process as long as you practice it regularly, reveals, develops and manifests the qualities of Kindness (good actions to others) and Goodness (good actions beyond and above our ego)

This process if it is embodied (you apply it almost automatically) reveals, transmits and attracts the quality of Unconditional Love.
