Letting Attention Rest on the Self

How do we stop the mind thinking? When we notice that attention can look at an object like a thought or the pure Nothingness itself, we see attention doesn't have to always follow thoughts. Helen takes us through a guided meditation showing us how to unhook attention from phenomena like thoughts. It is simply a habit to pay attention to phenomena first and we can turn it around. Later in the Satsang, we see some beautiful self-inquiry, contemplation and breakthroughs from questioners. 00:02 Namaste welcome 01:07 The link between attention and phenomena 04:06 What if paying attention to mind stimulates it to produce more thoughts 06:15 What if mind could say anything at all and attention doesn’t automatically go to it. 09:33 Practice zooming out 32:19 Question about separation 36:08 Question about surrender 40:38 Question about doership 45:34 Comment about feeling like the doer during meditation 46:57 Request for advice about nervousness 54:12 Asking for inquiry about illness 1:06:21 Comment about not feeling fully present 1:1136 Asking for clarification on moving attention
