Here is what I've learned so far:
There are 3 states of mind
1. Reasonable mind
2. Emotion mind
3. Wise mind
There are 3 "what" skills and 3 "how" skills
"What" Skills
1. Observing
2. Describing
3. Participating
"How" Skills
1. Taking a nonjudgmental stance
2. Focusing on one thing in the moment
3. Being effective
Now let's see if I understand this...
Reasonable mind is logical and rational. Emotion mind can be irrational and depends on emotions. Wise mind is the integration of reasonable mind and emotion mind.
There's a practice exercise that has participants go into themselves and experience wise mind.
I don't get it. :-( How do I experience wise mind? What do I think to experience it? I can't do it! What am I supposed to be thinking when I follow my breath? I can't do this!
Wise mind is like intuition. Is it just knowing something? How do I get to that part of myself that just knows? I don't get it. What am I supposed to be thinking? How do I do this? I don't get it!
