You Are Not Your Thoughts
Let’s get one thing clear — thoughts aren’t the enemy. But they’re not the truth either.
If you’ve ever sat in meditation and watched the circus of the mind unfold — memories, worries, what you’re having for tea — you’ll have glimpsed something vital: there’s an awareness beneath all that noise. That’s you. Not the anxious spiral or that voice criticising your choices. You’re the awareness noticing it all.
Where thoughts come from — and why we believe them
In Advaita Vedanta, consciousness is described as the formless witness — unchanging and always present (see Swami Sivananda’s commentary on Atma Bodha). Buddhism says something similar: the mind arises as phenomena in awareness, like clouds in the sky. But we get so caught in the content, we miss the space it’s all happening in.
When someone starts seeking spiritually, it’s usually because life’s felt like too much — stress, anxiety, dissatisfaction. And you know what? That’s actually a good thing. It means the old way isn’t working anymore.
So… what’s behind the curtain?
Here’s the thing: when you look closely, thoughts come and go. But the awareness you are never leaves. That quiet presence, the stillness underneath — it’s been here all along.
The Zen master Bankei said, “Your unborn mind is what sees and hears.” That part of you doesn’t come and go. It’s not reactive, not stuck in stories — just still, spacious knowing.
And you don’t need to be a monk to experience it.
Healing starts when we stop believing everything we think
At Awakened Energy Healing, we help people reconnect with that space — through energy healing, meditation, and deep rest. Our sessions are designed to quiet the noise, soothe the nervous system, and remind you what it feels like to just be again.
One beautiful tool in this process is Reiki Healing. Whether in-person or remote, Reiki gently clears emotional clutter, helping clients experience peace, clarity, and relief — especially when they’re struggling with anxiety or grief.
People come searching for ‘reiki Glasgow’, but often leave having found something far deeper: themselves.
You’re already free — you’ve just forgotten
The spiritual path isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about seeing through who you’re not. Beneath every thought, belief and mental loop is the quiet truth you’ve always known: you are not your thoughts. You are awareness itself.
And you’re not alone in discovering that. We’re here to help you remember.
