Awareness, Observation & (Over)Thinking | Contemplative Psychology | Poornima Gupta x Komal | EP11

#ContemplativePsychology #MentalHealth We are constantly thinking, analysing, solving and trying to improve ourselves but what happens when, instead of trying to change our minds, we simply learn to observe them? Join our conversation with Poorima Gupta, Contemplative Psychologist, as we explore contemplative psychology and the space between thinking, awareness and simply being. The key highlights of this session are: What contemplative psychology really means The difference between thinking, observing and being aware When reflection becomes overthinking Why slowing down can be psychologically meaningful Indian contemplative traditions and their place in modern psychology Can we observe difficult thoughts without immediately reacting to them? Bringing contemplation into everyday life without turning it into another self-improvement task MYConversations is a beloved segment at Make Yourself Comfortable (MYC) where we voice out your concerns and deep dive into the various questions and problems that bug us in our everyday lives or come up during sleepless nights but often get ignored. At MYConversations we act as your voice and ensure that no such questions get ignored and you get all the answers you need. This is done through a brief session with an expert in the field who not only answers your questions but also provides reasons, suggestions and advice that you might just need at the moment.
