Dear Vince,

thank you so much...
Reading your last message left me feeling a deep sense of calmness.
I can feel more softness in the body and some sense of giving up, but it feels good. Like there's no need to struggle anymore, no need to fight what is. That feels really good.
And I know the mind ...

Hi Vince,

thank you very much for your reply, I'm more than happy to be pushed deeper, and again, I truly appreciate your support. THANK YOU.

Reading your message brought some sense of "relief"; the body softened a bit.
The realization comes that the thought "I should remember / I forgot again ...

Dear Vince,

Now: Drop every thought that says “I should.” Let frustration burn if it wants. Let boredom arrive. Let tension build. Let thought spiral. Do nothing with it. Own none of it. And look: what is actually here, in this second? Not remembered. Not compared. Not explained.

Me looking at ...

Hi Vince,

Now drop it all again. This instant.
No claim.
No story.
No self-image to verify or doubt.
What’s here, right now, if you don’t name it?
If you don’t measure it?
If you don’t check whether it’s enough?

Look. Report. Not from memory. From THIS.

Colors, movements, sounds, sensations ...

Dear Vince,

Do it right here. Find the spot where “Sylwia” lives in the body. Hold it. Look through it. Report what you see when the label drops and only raw experience remains.
I feel waves of sensations and some pressure in my jaw/throat/upper chest area. I see that "Sylwia" is the ever ...

Dear Vince,

I was thinking about this message and what to write to you, but I still don't know, so I'll just write what comes to mind.

Your last message has brought a sense of calmness. I keep noticing the thoughts that say "There still must be something to get and somewhere to get to" but they ...

Good morning, Vince!

Thank you very much for your message - I was just starting a longer meditation retreat when I read it, and coming back to it throughout the retreat was very helpful.
I'll get back to you soon.

Much love ❤
Sylwia

Dear Vince,

first of all, thank you so much for your message.
I don't know how many times I've read it in the last few days, as I feel there's a lot in it for "me".
It all sounds very true, and some of your words made me stop, and at the same time I notice that this waiting for something to happen ...

Hi, Vince!
thank you for this exercise. Here are my reflections.

Feels like this exercise has helped me to see where all the labeling coming from the mind takes me. Something what just is becomes limited by the name and the story about it and, as a result, it becomes impossible to see what's truly ...

First of all, thank you very much, Vince (and others), for bearing with me. After those few weeks that passed by, I feel like not much has changed in the way I see myself and the world around me. I still feel like there’s “me” and kind of forgot all the things that were seen and discovered here with ...

Thank you very much, Vince.
Just wanted to let you know that there's a lot going on for me right now and, in the meantime, I'm working on the answers (doing my best to really look and see what feels true) and I will get back to you soon.

Much love,
Sylwia

Hi Vince,

so nice to hear from you (and from the other guides via you:)).
No problem, I'll do it with pleasure, but just to clarify, which questions should I answer again?
All the questions asked by you from the very beginning of our conversation?

With love,
Sylwia

Hi Vince,

with those two exercises, what I found is that it’s only seeing, but the bodily sensations are kind of interfering with the process. It’s hard to separate the seeing from the feeling, so when seeing is happening, the focus goes to the body too, and sensations in the face area also appear ...

Ok, now I see my response is here:)

Hi Vince,

oh, I have no idea what's happened - I was sure I'd replied to your last message soon after receiving it, but it's not here.
I'll do it again today.
Thank you for your patience.

With love,
Sylwia
