00:00:00,335 --> 00:00:20,520
the mantra should not be at the mouth or in the head whenever I note something it appears in my head as a thought when I'm tired I'm thinking tired tired tired is this important thank you well when you when you get better at it the thought is

2
00:00:21,682 --> 00:00:23,726
is really in the object.

3
00:00:25,769 --> 00:00:32,962
The head and thinking is usually a product of people who are accustomed to thinking a lot.

4
00:00:33,563 --> 00:00:45,343
And so, when given this sort of exercise, the mind's only way of, the untrained mind's only way of implementing it

5
00:00:45,323 --> 00:00:47,826
is to create it as a thought in the head.

6
00:00:47,866 --> 00:00:53,873
I mean when I started I was actually seeing the words like they were pasted to the inside of my forehead and getting headaches.

7
00:00:54,554 --> 00:01:06,408
Part of why people think it's in the head is because in the beginning they often get tension in the head from forcing themselves to be with the object and so they confuse that with the actual acknowledgement.

8
00:01:06,428 --> 00:01:08,631
They think I'm acknowledging in my head but they're not.

9
00:01:08,611 --> 00:01:24,545
The head is just giving rise to tension or exhibiting tension as a result of the person's tense, forceful, controlling mind state.

10
00:01:27,047 --> 00:01:36,215
But it's all just a matter of lack of proficiency.

11
00:01:36,635 --> 00:01:37,656
Once you get better at it,

12
00:01:38,716 --> 00:01:45,606
The thoughts themselves become natural, become a part of the experience.

13
00:01:46,367 --> 00:01:48,370
So it's just experiencing it as it is.

14
00:01:51,054 --> 00:01:54,439
The tone is different.

15
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,808
And it's like as though you're saying it in your head, or saying it in your foot, or saying it in your stomach.

16
00:02:03,522 --> 00:02:10,748
The only time it should be in the head is when you're acknowledging pain or aching or tension or feeling and so on in the head.
