Emotion Mind
Hot and mood-dependent. Ruled by feelings and urges; facts and logic don’t matter much. Don’t make decisions here.
Reasonable Mind
Cool and task-focused. Ruled by facts and logic; values and feelings don’t matter much.
Wise Mind
The wisdom inside everyone. Values both reason and emotion — the middle path. Some people experience it as intuition or a spiritual connection.
Three-minute Wise Mind
- Sit up, wide awake. Ask: what am I experiencing right now — thoughts, feelings, sensations? “Okay, this is how it is.”
- Focus all your attention on your breath, rising and falling. Let it anchor you.
- Expand awareness to your whole body — posture, face, hands. Then step back into your day from Wise Mind.
