Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode This time of year can be great – but also quite intense. There are more expectations on us, more emotions at play, and more stories circling in our heads about family, money, the future, and how we think we should think and feel about those things.Today’s episode looks at a simple idea from the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi that cuts straight through all that noise: you are not your thoughts.What’s interesting about this century old spiritual teaching is how it aligns with modern psychology and points to the same wisdom: to stop wrestling with your thoughts and instead change your relationship to them.We talk about how to do that in a world that seems so full of anxiety and fear and how to remain present when the mind is trying to run the show (which, around Christmas time, it usually is).Book a Live Intro Seminar for the SPOA:https://spiritualpsychologyofacting.com/courses/online-intro-seminar/Support us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/TheSpiritualPsychologyofActingPodcastIf you’d like to get in touch with us, you can do so by emailing [email protected] you have any feedback, thoughts, topics you think we should cover in future episodes or questions about the Spiritual Psychology of Acting…whatever it is, we’d love to hear from you. Follow us:Instagram: SPOA - https://www.instagram.com/spiritual_psychology_of_acting/John Osborne Hughes - https://www.instagram.com/john.o.hughes1/Jordan Turk – https://www.instagram.com/jordan.turk/Facebook: SPOA - https://www.facebook.com/SpiritualPsychologyOfActing An Awakened State ProductionSupport the show
