Study Notes
Understanding Mindfulness: The Three States of Mind
- Mindfulness is a state of fully awake and embodied awareness that arises through paying attention on purpose in the present moment.
- Mindfulness involves focused attention, open awareness, and kind intention.
- The three states of mind are emotional mind, reasonable mind, and wise mind.
- Emotional mind is when emotions are driving the bus and dictating actions, leading to self-focus, judgment, blame, difficulty thinking straight, and impulsive acts.
- Reasonable mind is ruled by logic and is based on facts, but it may not take feelings into account and may result in decisions that are not satisfying or what one truly wants.
- Wise mind is the merging of emotional mind and reasonable mind, taking into account the whole situation, deep wisdom, and spiritual values, dealing with reality, and responding to the actual situation.
- Wise mind requires courage and deep intuitive knowing, and it helps to reach out to someone trusted who can help pull one back to wise mind.
- An example of using the three states of mind is when expecting a visit from someone and they don't show up, leading to emotional mind thoughts of rejection or anger, reasonable mind thoughts of justifying or invalidating, and wise mind thoughts of validating emotions, finding a way through the disappointment, and taking it as a sign to have other people in one's life.
- It is important to meld emotions, logic, and wise mind together in order to cope better.
- Reflecting upon a past emotional situation and thinking about what reasonable mind logic and wise mind response could have helped can aid in using wise mind in future situations.
- The three states of mind are a great tool for understanding how to cope better and many skills can be used to cultivate wise mind.
- Practicing mindfulness and using the three states of mind can lead to better decision-making, improved relationships, and a more satisfying life.
