To be more precise about this distinction between mind and awareness, mindfulness can be of two types. There is a kind of conceptual or intentional heavy-handed mindfulness that is a function of mind, and there is a kind of subtle mindfulness that is characteristic of awareness. The distinction is that the faculty of mindfulness that you use in your meditation is incapable of recognizing the mind’s nature insofar as it tends to objectify what it experiences. When it seems to be experiencing something other than itself and therefore has that sediment of conceptualization, that is mind. When the faculty you are experiencing in meditation has no object other than itself, experiences its own nature as light, and has the characteristic of brilliant clarity, like a lamp flame, then that is awareness. The key point is that it has no object. Mind always has an object. Awareness does not have an object. The experience of awareness is like being frightened or terrified. It is that kind of intense nonconceptual experience. When you have recognized this, when awareness arises in your experience and you recognize awareness as awareness, then you will have certainty about what all of this means.

A little reminder from me to you and me to self:
The moment the meditator, begins this focus on not thinking then the meditation is over. There is now, this thought process of resistance, a sort of invisible road block in the way of your desired destination.
Therefore , you are being something or other but not really surrendering to yourself and setting the mind aside or managing to grab the reigns of that bad boy by your surrendering to the moment.
There is control in that surrendering to the moment and to yourself.
Observe.
Gently.
Be gentle.
Don't judge yourself, just observe yourself and all your mental chatter and allow yourself to be for a moment.
Give yourself just 15 minutes of your presence and attention.

Now to add a bit more food for that head of yours.
Contemplate it. Savour the words allow them to stir your soul.

Toss that scrumptious salad up with some helpful reminders for my couples and relationship nuggets for your mind...
I guide people or at times work with people with , of all things, the art of how to touch one another.
To feel.
Not with the mind.
You already know it's a boob, a chest, your partners belly or leg
So why are you thinking about it?
Why are you analyzing it?
Are you an adolescent?
Feel
Feel
The other.
Experience the other
And once dialed in
Tuned in
Whatever in-style word you want to use
Once there in that space where you
Own the mind
You begin to EXPERIENCE your partner
Partners
Yourself
Your lovers
Your one night stands
Whatever you have
It's not a secret
Its actually amazing simple and oddly enough helps in all.
Of course you can shield yourself, you can breathe and set the intention early morning to
Be open to receive only what serves your purpose.
Prepare your space
Your day.
Of course
And hush that chatter and enjoy the sense of touch.
Just sharing a great read from a deeper perspective That of the Great Samael Aun Weor And just a cool weekend read to make you go hmmmm more gnostic related but Samael was definitely a vama marga tantric and his theosophical studies and gnostics writing was divine. This is a free PDF version but available hard back Aztec Christic Magic - GNOSIS-TV http://gnosistv.com.ar/books/bookssamael/Aztec%20Christic%20Magic.pdf .
