This resource helps you see emotions and thoughts for what they are – passing experiences, not permanent realities.

Imagine you are sitting in a movie theater, watching a film on a screen. The images keep changing, but the screen stays the same. Now, close your eyes and think of your own awareness as the screen. Thoughts and emotions come and go, but the awareness behind them stays the same. Repeat the phrase: “I am the screen, not the movie.”

This practice shifts your focus from the ups and downs of daily life to a more stable, grounded perspective. It helps you remain calm in stressful situations and improves intuitive clarity by preventing emotional overwhelm. Trainers and facilitators can use it to maintain a strong, centered presence when working with groups.

This resource is inspired by cognitive psychology and attention research, particularly studies on frame perception – how the brain distinguishes between what is being observed and the medium presenting it.
