Mindfulness of Thoughts

Many of us get caught up in our thoughts and find ourselves living out of the past or the future, missing out on the experience of being present in the here and now. Mindfulness of thoughts gradually helps us to let go of reactions and judgments, and distance ourselves from the stories that our thoughts create. Learning to observe our thoughts without trying to either remove them or hang onto them naturally leads to thoughts settling. That leads to a direct experience of the natural stillness and calm of the mind.
