Merging with Wholeness: An Inquiry into Uniting Body, Mind, and Love
Ever feel like something’s holding you back from peace or love, but you can’t quite pin it down? It’s frustrating, isn’t it—that subtle tension in your body or mind that keeps wholeness just out of reach, leaving you disconnected from the ease you know is possible. That’s why I’m excited to share Merging with Wholeness: An Inquiry into Uniting Body, Mind, and Love—a guided mindful inquiry from a support call. Here are the key takeaways to invite you into this beautiful exploration.
Key Takeaways
Awareness of Experience: The practice begins by encouraging you to notice everything you’re aware of in the present moment—sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touch, thoughts, feelings, and sensations. These elements combine to form your overall experience, which can be categorized as external (outer) or internal (inner), though all are simply aspects of experience.
The Experiencer: There’s an exploration of the sense of self—the “experiencer”—that feels like the center around which all experiences revolve. This is typically tied to your identity or sense of who you are.
Inquiring into Love: The inquiry asks you to check if there’s any withholding of love in your current awareness. It prompts you to examine whether there’s a good enough reason to keep love away and, if not, to allow love to be present in your experience, body, and mind.
Inquiring into Peace: Similarly, you’re guided to investigate if peace is being withheld from your awareness, body, or mind. If no sufficient reason exists to keep peace away, the invitation is to let peace permeate your experience.
Inquiring into Freedom: The practice extends to freedom, asking whether it’s being withheld and, if there’s no reason to maintain its absence, allowing freedom to be part of your present moment.
Unity with Body and Mind: The inquiry explores whether the body and mind feel separate from love, peace, or freedom. If no valid reason sustains this separation, you’re encouraged to let the body and mind merge with these qualities, dissolving any perceived division.
Sense of Self: The guidance also applies this process to your sense of individuality or identity, questioning whether love, peace, or freedom are withheld from who you perceive yourself to be, and inviting their presence if no barriers exist.
Foundation of Experience: The practice concludes by suggesting that love, peace, and freedom can serve as the foundation of all experience, encouraging you to rest in these qualities before gently returning to everyday awareness of your body, breath, thoughts, and surroundings.
In essence, this mindful inquiry is about observing your present-moment experience, questioning any resistance to love, peace, and freedom, and allowing these qualities to naturally arise and integrate into your body, mind, and sense of self. It’s a gentle, introspective process aimed at fostering openness and unity within your awareness.
