Beautiful what you said about thinking in a different language. I never thought about it, but learning to speak Portugese has made me feel like I'm a more "fluid" person. Like the "me" I was once so attached to and scared to lose, is constantly changing. And in every language I use, I feel like a slightly different me.
Meditation has also totally transformed me; especially since I learned the TWIM mediation method. It was the first time I experienced the deeper jhana's. It's mostly focused on relaxing, letting go and wishing ourselves and others well. It's amazing how deep one can go by just relaxing and letting go of thoughts and emotions.
I enjoyed this Jeff! It’s an interesting thought to have, that we are not our thoughts. We attach ourselves to, and identify with them, let them create our reality. This can be beautiful, or terrifying depending on their quality. Presence is paramount.
I find it hard to believe that if I could ruminate in Spanish I would still be suffering.
It always brightens my day, seeing a comment from you Rick.

Thank you Danique. I’m glad you enjoyed it. The effect language learning had on you resonates. And meditation is magic.
