Todos los antojos y los deseos surgen de un sentido del "yo", una especie de identificación que hemos ido construyendo para desenvolvernos en la sociedad, que busca controlar el mundo, tratando de manipularlo (moldear con nuestras acciones), con el fin de buscar la felicidad ilusoria que creemos que podemos fabricar y conservar.

Tendemos a buscar esa felicidad pero siempre pareciera que está un paso por delante de nosotros y nos aferramos a la esperanza de que algún día vamos a alcanzarla... alcanzarla ahí afuera, como si es que está en otra parte.

Todo esto es una ilusión que mantiene a la mente pensando, maquinando, planificando, creando y generando obstáculos, uno tras otro. Pero si decidimos detenernos, observar y permitirnos dejar ir estas falsas ilusiones de que la felicidad está afuera, nos permitirá darnos cuenta de que realmente está aquí, adentro, en la misma mente y en la manera en que interpreta la vida y las situaciones que ocurren.

Entonces, dejando ir, podremos encontrar liberar la mente de los obstáculos.

Hello beautiful people of Hive!

Today, after meditating in the morning I was thinking about how hard it is sometimes to concentrate Have you experienced this? I also thought that if it is hard for me who has some experience, then for those people who are just starting out it is even harder.

I also thought that if it is difficult for me who has a little experience, then for those people who are just starting it is even harder, especially if they have a way of life that stuffs them with information at every moment and also promotes an excess of constant movement.

Anyone who has ever done a meditative practice will know that there are many obstacles to calm the mind.

Did you know that?

Yes, it's not just you that it happens to (we love to believe that everything bad only happens to us haha).

That's why many people, after a first brief and minuscule attempt, give up on the wonderful experience that is meditation. Because they get frustrated and believe that "that's not for them."

How fortunate that you who read me and I do not believe this way.

We have persisted and managed to realize that the obstacles are not the only ones that arise in meditation and that they are not permanent, but that they change little by little.

You and I know that there is also a beautiful peace after meditation, that no obstacle is able to prevent us from experiencing (even if some days it is not fully present).

But these obstacles, how do we conquer them?

And these obstacles we overcome them through that capacity or movement of the mind that we can call: Letting Go.

All cravings and desires arise from a sense of "self", a kind of identification that we have been building to function in society, which seeks to control the world, trying to manipulate it (mold it with our actions), in order to seek the illusory happiness that we believe we can manufacture and preserve.

We tend to look for that happiness but it always seems to be one step ahead of us and we cling to the hope that someday we are going to reach it? reach it out there, as if it is somewhere else.

All this is an illusion that keeps the mind thinking, scheming, planning, creating and generating obstacles, one after another. But if we decide to stop, observe and allow ourselves to let go of these false illusions that happiness is outside, it will allow us to realize that it is really here, inside, in the mind itself and in the way it interprets life and the situations that occur.

Then, by letting go, we may find ourselves freeing the mind from the obstacles.
