Drawing attention to stillness, silence, and spaciousness shifts your focus from feeding the insecurity of the ego to connecting with pure being. Anytime you identify with a sense of ‘I’—’I feel something’; ‘I have lost some thing’; ‘I am lost’—you are identifying with the wrong person. You are identifying with the ego, with your pain body, not with your true nature.
