I have a Guided Exercise for you
Follow along, it'll be fun
Go grab a fruit you like near you
Gogo, I'll wait for you don't worry
...
Good
Let's say a banana
Remove all your memories about the object that you have in front of you, remove it all
Look at it as if you were just born
Marvel at it
Usually you just take it for granted and think X name or label defines what that object is, like banana that's what I'm looking at it, right?
Now however, it's different, the air crisp, you feel aware and stop reading these lines. Look at the unique 3D object happening
....
Good
You should have realized that it is really one of a kind, that such fruit is special, there's only one like it and there it is
Now go through it with your touch
How does it feel? the heaviness, the temperature, it's balance
Again, leave this pointers and go to touch moon
...
Good
I'm noticing now the crown of the banana, it has a very unique feeling that I never actually stopped to feel
Now go and smell it, close your eyes and smell like you were a profesional perfumer
pinch the object, estimulate it, for it to realease it's juice
Notice it is alive at some level
Animate or inanimate is distinction you are creating in your mind
so go about it with respect and appreciation. Smell like a pig!
...
Good
Now, shall you taste it?
Mmm, waffles
but first, how should you open it? what is the best way to do it?
Don't follow a mechanical technique, actually contemplate and see the most optimal way of consuming this fruit
Open it up
...
Good
Now it's time to close your eyes and taste it
Play with in your mind
How does it feel?
Try to make as much distinctions and ever deeper tasting skills
Your mind is flooded with such fruit
The essence of it
The spirit
The personality
Like a symphony playing inside yourself
...
Good
Finally you have both merged into one
QUITE LITERALLY
Enjoy your fruit mindfully and come back when you finish for the last closing thoughts of this exercise
What really happened? What was an ordinary material object, now it's seen for what it is: A unique chunk of consciousness, an amalgamation of sensations!!! You can explore it in so many ways and even become one with it. Quite mindblowing actually, it's like falling in love with different chunks of consciousness that exist and see them as solidified sensations of consciousness.
Thanks for following along, take a big breath and ooze gratitude as far as it will go!
Lots of Love. Take a picture of the fruit if you like!
