Tap to send me your reflections ♡
Do you meditate? If yes, then it's very likely you've experienced the wandering mind.
For me it's my almost constant companion when I meditate!
The wonderful Tara Brach offers us guidance to simply say to ourselves: "thinking thinking", every time we notice our mind wandering.
This episode was inspired by another technique (unfortunately I can't recall who it was who shared it!)
Essentially it is to call out what KIND of thinking we’re doing. We’re often lost in rumination OR speculation - while the bit in the middle is the meditation.
So I’m offering up a meditation practice today - an opportunity to feel into whether this expanded approach is useful for you too.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. And if you know of another formal practice that uses this kind of technique I would LOVE to hear about it!
