How to Stop Buying Everything as Yours

Posted on September 11, 2023 by Julie D Mayo, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

Functioning from thoughts, feelings and emotions cut off our awareness and limit our capacities as the infinite being we truly are.

You are an infinite being, and you have a body. You are you. Your body is your body. You should have a connection with your body, a great connection actually, but you are not one and the same.

As an infinite being you have the capacity to perceive, know, be and receive everything. Yet we tend to function from our thoughts, feelings and emotions. Thoughts, feelings, emotions and sex/no sex are the lower harmonic of perceiving, knowing, being and receiving.

When we function from thoughts, feelings and emotions, we tend to cut off our awareness and function as a finite being, rather than the infinite being we truly are. We tend to make our thoughts, feelings and emotions very significant, as well as the thoughts, feelings and emotions of other people, especially family.

Your body is a sensational, sensate, sensorial organism designed to give you information. Your body is giving you information all the time. Your body gives you information about your environment and about the bodies around you.

Instead of perceiving or sensing the information our body is giving us and asking a question about it, what we tend to do is go into thoughts, feelings or emotions. Every time you say “I am” “I have” or “I feel” you lock whatever you perceive into your body.

Let me give you an example. Say you are walking along having a great day and all of a sudden you “feel” tired. Instead of asking a question, what we tend to do is go into how tired we are. It looks something like this, “I feel tired” or “I am tired.”

But, what if you aren’t actually tired? What if your body was simply giving you information about a body near you that was feeling tired. As soon as you had the thought or said, “I feel tired” or “I am tired” you bought it as yours, and locked that “tired” feeling into your body. You started creating it as yours.

What if instead you asked a question? You could ask, “What am I perceiving?” Perceiving is a way to be aware of something without taking it on as yours or creating it as yours. Perceiving keeps you from locking it into your body. It’s like perceiving the wind blow. You are aware of it, but you know it’s the wind, so you don’t assume it is yours or become at the effect of it. It stays outside of you, it’s not yours.

So what if the next time you are aware of something, you asked a question rather than assuming it is yours?

When you get the awareness that what you perceive is not yours it will get lighter or go away, you won’t be affected by it.

ASK A QUESTION

Here are some questions you can ask for every thought feeling or emotion you are aware of. You only need to ask one, so play with the different questions and see what works for you. You don’t have to ask them out loud, you can ask them in your head.

• What am I perceiving?

• What am I sensing?

• What am I aware of?

• What awareness am I having here that I am unwilling to perceive, know, be and receive?

We have assumed that everything we are aware of is ours for a very long time, so it may take a bit of practice. Play with the questions and see if they bring lightness.
