The Empowered Mind in Your Feelings
Think about your present feeling and determine whether it is positive and heartfelt; if so, you should strengthen it. If it is an emotional reaction or anger, you should let go of it. Whatever the reasons, your feeling will not change anything in reality.
What matters is that your feeling is lasting and useful to you.
Awareness of Your Feeling
Awareness is continuous observation of your feelings. You notice in your inner feelings what the feeling is, and decide within moments inside yourself how to let go of your feeling or keep it, striving to make your feeling always your own.
Your feelings are yours, and your actions are built on feelings of love, affection, forgiveness and kindness. Feelings are yours alone.
Clarity of Your Mind
By freeing yourself from feelings of agitation and practicing feelings of warmth, you can sense awareness in the clarity of your mind and the sharpness of your thinking.
The Empowered Mind depends on your inner emotional responses and on your feelings toward yourself, your life and your personality.
