Imagine a vast ocean, its depths teeming with life, its surface reflecting the infinite expanse of the sky. This is the true essence of who you are – limitless potential waiting to be explored. Yet, we often get caught in the shallows, trapped by the fleeting thoughts that ripple across the surface.
“As soon as you believe that a label you’ve put on yourself is true, you’ve limited something that is literally limitless, you’ve limited who you are into nothing but a thought.” – Adyashanti
We do place labels on ourselves. Sometimes consciously and more often unconsciously… a little voice inside of us saying, “you are this… you are that… you always do this … you never do that…” all of these are mere thoughts, the products of a brain doing what a brain does.
It doesn’t help us judging ourselves for having these thoughts though, but rather they point to wounded parts of ourselves that we can work with.
Understand that the thoughts that your brain comes up with, are not who you are, but if you believe them to be true you will be imprisoned for the rest of your life in a cage that is nothing more than thought… an illusion.
“Somewhere inside I always knew that everything was one – that I was eternal, unborn, undying, and uncreated. I understood that my essential nature was not limited by or confined to my personality structure or the body I seemed to be inhabiting. There had been a dissolving, in a somewhat radical way, of the world as I had known it and of the self I had known myself to be.” – Adyashanti
You are a vast being, an ocean of potential, and your thoughts are merely ripples on the surface. Today’s meditation is a powerful reminder of this limitless nature. It invites you to explore the depths of your being and discover the incredible possibilities that lie within.
Here are a few guiding questions to ignite self-reflection:
- What labels have I placed on myself? Are they empowering or limiting?
- Can I identify any situations where a limiting belief has prevented me from taking action?
- Where do these thoughts come from? Are there any underlying wounds I need to address?
- Who would I be if I weren’t confined by these thoughts?
Remember, you are not your thoughts. You are limitless potential waiting to be unleashed. Break free from the illusion and step into the vastness of who you truly are.
Have a really beautiful day!
