Samatha Thought Practice

This meditation is part of a Cambridge research study. We enter this meditation by settling and scanning our body. We then gently turn our attention to a practice of Samatha, focusing on our minds and attending to the type of thoughts, emotions, strings of dialogue and mental images that appear in our consciousness. During this meditation we will practice distancing ourselves from being the experiencer of these thoughts and becoming the observer instead.

Condensed meditation through fundamentals of Buddhism

This is a a great meditation for me when I wait for the thought to come, they come a lot less, interesting thank you

It was really good. I am particularly doing it for exam preparation

This was super helpful in preparing me to do some writing.
Ok

Quite good. I'd like to have it without the instructions about the study it was used for.

A beautifully led practice. Thank you 🙏❣️🙏

Love this ... Thank you so much

Minimal chatter, which I think more experienced meditators will like. Namaste.

Prep then silence; prep then silence - no intrusive ideas to tilt the cart - how refreshing🙂

Uncluttered.
I liked.

Very nice. A traditional concentration practice that uses the mind as the object of concentration. Starts with a 5 minute body scan. Very powerful meditation, though the speaker used this practice as part of a study and is a bit clinical.

Very well paced and practical meditation. I appreciated the bells.

I enjoyed cultivating the observer and spaciousness in the mind.
