Part 3 of #equanimity's definition: 🌀 Without identifying with sensations 🌀 What does this mean? It’s not about denying sensations or pushing them away. Instead, it’s about recognizing that: "You" are not "your" sensations #Equanimity #Mindfulness #MiCBT #Meditation 🧵1/4

#equanimity At a moment-to-moment level, when we are being equanimous, it’s our *sensations* that we are accepting, with a genuine willingness to feel them as they are … not the other person’s behaviour, the situation we find ourselves in, or the state of the world! #meditation #mindfulness

When we’re being equanimous in a difficult situation, what is it that we’re “not reacting” to ? 1️⃣ The unpleasant situation we’re in 2️⃣ The other person who’s being unpleasant 3️⃣ The unpleasant sensations we’re feeling 📊 Show results

Let’s look at Part 1 of the definition of #equanimity Question: How do we bring an equal interest to sensations, regardless of their intrinsic pleasantness👍 or unpleasantness👎??? Answer: With a genuine willingness to feel them - just as they are!!! 🧵 1/ #mindfulness #meditation #MiCBT

Equanimity has many definitions, but this one has been the most clinically useful—and personally meaningful—for me. 😊 I'll unpack it over the next few weeks. Let me know your thoughts! #Equanimity #Meditation #Mindfulness #MiCBT

Equanimity = Bringing an equal interest to pleasant, unpleasant and neutral sensations, without reacting to them and without identifying with them.

And one more important tidibit : ) - while continuing to feel them!

Welcome to this little corner of Bluesky 🪷 I'm excited to be here with you all - this community is needed more than ever : ) Equanimity is at the core of what I find so helpful about meditation, both clinically and personally, and I hope to explore more with you all!
