Silent Witness Meditation by Stephane Hemon
Silent Witness Prayer
Sit or lie down somewhere quiet to unwind. Don’t try to manipulate your ideas by choosing which ones to think and which to suppress. Let your thoughts wander instead, whatever they may be. Watch your thoughts now, and you’ll see how detached you are from the process of thinking. “I am the quiet witness,” tell yourself. Thoughts just naturally occur to me even when I don’t try to think. I am detached from my thoughts as I observe them as they go through my head. I’m the only one who can hear what my mind is doing. You’ll be able to realize that you are distinct from the mind in this manner.
You may also see how fleeting thoughts, feelings, wants, worries, and other things rise to the surface of the mind before disappearing. Thus, the stream of thoughts continues, and you are its observer. You, the self, sit by the stream of thoughts in the same way that a person might by a flowing stream. The stream of thoughts might be extremely clean or extremely contaminated, just like a stream can be either. You are not the stream; rather, you are the witness to that stream in both scenarios.
Instead of letting your thoughts run wild, you can strive to steer, interrupt, or otherwise exert some sort of control over them. However, the mere fact that you may make an effort to direct or control your thoughts, along with the fact that doing so is so challenging, further demonstrates that you, the self, are not the mind or stream of thoughts.
