Yes,, the site was down.

Now please re-read the instructions & reply EXACTLY like the example. You inserted a lot of extra thinking. Thinking is the problem. not the solution.

Seeing a screen, simply= image/color
Seeing gray buttons, simply= image/color
Feeling the smoothness of the cloth, simply = sensation
Thought about the practice, simply = thought
Itchy sensation on the back of my head, simply = sensation
The thoughts about scratching come up, simply = thought
Noticed breathing, simply = sensation
Thought about what else can I notice, simply = thought
Felling desire to close my eyes, simply = thought
Eyes close, simply = image\color
Hearing breathing in silence, simple = sound
Hearing birds from the outside, simple = sound
Felling tension on the face and neck, simply = sensation
Deep breath, simply = sensation


Like that?

Exactly. Now try this.




Mind Labeling Experience

Here is an exercise which examines the way in which the mind labels experience - it takes about 20 minutes and you will need a pen a paper.

This exercise is broken into 10 minute lots. For each 10 minute period pay attention to any bodily sensation i.e. is there any tightening, or any relaxing?

For the first ten minutes write down what you are experiencing right now using the word “I”.

For example:

I am sitting on a chair,
I am hearing a clock ticking,
I am looking at a computer screen,
I am feeling hungry.

Get right to the point, no past or future fantasy, just a plain description of your experience right here and now.

Then for the next ten minutes continue writing down what you are experiencing but this time without using the word “I”. Just describe the experience as it is happening using verbs.

For example:

Sitting on a chair,
typing,
breathing,
blinking,
hearing the clock.

(Again, watch what is happening in the body.)

At the end of the twenty minutes compare the two ways in which the experience was labelled and answer the following four questions:

1. Is one truer than the other, and If so, which one?

2. What is here without labels?

3. Do labels affect the experience or just describe it?

4. Did you notice any differences in the body?
