Shad282 Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) I have been lately doing more meditation where i focus on my nose and feel the breath going in and out, and this helped me in increase my awareness and my ability to observe thoughts as they arise from in my daily life.  whenever the thought arise, i notice it and once i notice it disappears, and i m left with a sense of peace and ease. Even though, i did notice how much some of the thought are compulsive and negative too.  After the negative thoughts decreased, my mind has been flooding me with "positive" thoughts or more like sending me thoughts that i like or would prefer to engage in or think about, and they are nice, but at the end they are thoughts. But i m trying my best to not dwel.  I was wondering if anyone has any idea about the state that i go into when i observe a thought and it disappears ? that state of peace and i call it state of bliss.  Even though, that i m able to to observe the thought before getting triggered, would that also help me in releasing fears and problems in my life?  do you suggest to continue with such practice? or to move forward with something to deepen it?  And do you consider it, an escapism technique or enhance duality?  Also do you suggest any book, youtube video or so on that practice to understand it more?  Thank you Edited March 2, 2017 by Shad282 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonesboy Posted March 2, 2017 It seems what you are doing is working so I wouldn't go jumping to something else or try to change it. Just keep doing what you are doing and let it deepen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
