Awareness Of Thoughts (MBSR)

As Joseph Goldstein says, "It is amazing to observe how much power we give unknowingly to uninvited thoughts: 'Do this, say that, remember, plan, obsess, judge.' They have the potential to drive us quite crazy, and they often do!"

This meditation helps us practice seeing thoughts as mental events that come and go. If we practice in this way we are able to create more distance from our thoughts, changing our relationship with them to provide us with greater choice and awareness.

Gentle and simple instructions delivered by a calming and soothing voice. Thank you 😊

Perfect. I am learning. Thank you 🙏

Perfect for my morning meditation! I loved the little reminders of the pillars of mindfulness and there was a great balance of guidance and silence. Thank you for this one!

Thankfully this also included awareness of breath, body and sounds, so I could settle into the awareness of mind practice

Perfect MBSR; standard awareness practice. Loved it.
