Hi Becca, I've found myself strongly identifying with my body. By body, I mean my 4 extremities, skin, bones, and organs. It has the shape of an adult male and occupies space but I cannot determine height or weight based on pure sensations. Skin is the boundary between me and the outside world. The ...

I kept track of my thoughts and I was surprised to notice that the vast majority of my thoughts were fantasies (recurring topics were the past, future, and mental arguments Id have with myself). I'd say 20% or less of my mental activity was about the current situation. I don't know if that's a good ...

Experience is complete and lacks nothing without the image of myself. My thoughts and other mental activity continue but the mental picture of myself has yet to return. I was able to work, meditate, go to the gym etc. without it. I imaged a volume dial or pause button over the location of my ...

Hi Becca, I sat with this for a while (2 hours). The picture of myself as the person in my head was strong at first but by the end, it had dissolved and I felt a "lightness" in the front of my head. As far as the raw sensation, it is vague and hard to describe. Buzzing and tingling are the closest ...

I'll be honest. I did the spoon exercise and sat with the thought of "me" for awhile. I know intellectually there is no little version of myself inside my head but that is consistently what I see when I think of "me". I see a small version of myself behind the forehead looking out to the world. I ...

I perceive just shades of light, colors, and different shapes when I drop all labels and stories.

I'll use the most prevalent sticky thought in my life right now. I broke up with my fiance 1 month ago. Whenever thoughts of us together or her occur, I feel tightness in my chest, neck, mouth, lower face. I feel my heart racing. I feel my body getting all over. I feel stuffiness in my nose.
I ...

It's all happening on its own. I cannot control what thoughts come up or their content. I cannot predict which ones come up. Thoughts and their associated memories and emotions don't have a logical order. What I sense is a thought will happen and that tangentially brings in another thought or ...

Hello Becca, I am ready. I cannot find a receiver of the words. My eyes see them and my brains interprets the words and thinks of a reply but I cannot find a singular object or being inside my head doing that work. Thank you.

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this? There is no little version of myself inside my head deciding things and making things happen. Life and mental activity occur due to past experiences, genetics and the current environment. Its like a ...
