Meet Your Meditator Self
The Meditator is the self that lives in
the present moment. It is also known as the Being
Self by allowing the concerns and worries about past
and future fall away. It is a self that is famous for
its ability to stop and smell the roses.
The Meditator thrives on listening to
the wind blowing through trees or rain falling on a
stormy night. It can feel the warmth of the sun or cool
breeze on a summer day and see beauty in nature or
art. This self relishes in the immediacy of the
moment from tasting something spicy to smelling
chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven.
The Meditator experiences the quiet
and stillness that presence brings commonly through
meditation. This state offers a supporting sense of
goal-free tranquility in not having to “do”
anything. This self is comfortable with whatever
the moment
brings.
OVER-IDENTIFIED WITH THE MEDITATOR:
If you are over identified with your Meditator you
experience an overwhelming sense of
passivity. This self can become undisciplined,
unmotivated, ungrounded in your daily life and cut off
from reality.
THE DISOWNED/REPRESSED MEDITATOR:
When you have disowned or repressed your Meditator
you may find yourself hyperactive and
outer-directed. You can lose touch with your
surroundings as you become disconnected from your
instincts and intuition.
THE INTEGRATED MEDITATOR:
An integrated Meditator supports our over all
equanimity and gives us a feeling of “flow" in
relationship to our inner and outer life”. By
finding value in the moment this self creates a
sense of balance between the pulls of our daily life
and the stillnes of our inner nature.
POSSIBLE OPPOSITES OF THE MEDITATOR:
The Pusher, The Responsible Self, The Thinker.
DEEPENING YOUR DIALOGUE WITH YOUR
MEDITATOR:
What is your relationship with your
Meditator?
Is it a primary self or is it
repressed or disowned in your life?

trying communicate with you?
