Watch thought subside - notice the empty space - feel the peace in that emptiness.
Looking inward...
Remembering when someone said something that pressed our buttons...
...instantly an automatic thought-feeling-reaction came.
That thought-feeling-reaction seemed instant...
...but it wasn't.
There was a moment - a tiny unnoticed gap between what was said and the inner reaction.
That moment is incredibly valuable!
It contains the key to inner freedom.
When we notice that gap...
And hold our attention there...
It expands...
Staying there...
A pause - a breath - an opportunity.
An opportunity to save ourselves from habitual reactions and behaviour that cause endless trouble, pain and suffering.
The simple inner noticing of that moment...
Of staying empty...
Watching thought-feeling and reaction subside...
Noticing the empty space a little longer...
And feeling the peace arise...
We relax...
...and respond with calm and reason.
