Noticing The Train: Catching The Wandering Mind

Here's a visualization of the wandering mind: in the center there is the "core you" on the train station platform, & all around you are trains of thought constantly taking off & carrying you out of the basic, pure, & astonishingly beautiful present moment. Some trains have become especially automatic & loud, & the more we notice them/the earlier we catch them taking off, the easier we can step back onto the platform & experience more deeply all that is happening only right now. Enjoy!

Thank you! I’ll be coming back to this practice again!

My favorite teacher so far. Great balance of knowledge and experience. Perfect lengths too.

Perfect analogy of our “wandering minds” to a train. Each time I got off that train, I would add “Let It Be” with each breath. Thank you Charles!

Very helpful analogy. I found that I could easily envision the platform and the trains and it led to a deep sense of calm in a relatively short amount of time.

Really good meditation. Helped clear the anxiety I was feeling. Thank you.🙏

Really lovely visualisation. Enjoyable, grounding and very accessible to practice through the day. Thank you so much for this 🙏☀️💛

Very useful and will keep in my toolbox of goodies to employ when I'm "going off the rails on my crazy train" and need ways to unboard.
Thank you.

Thank you for this. I get really carried away in thought, and this was a useful approach to change that.

Perfect analogy-
Very helpful will use again and again!

It's very calming and it includes a very good technique for helping you calm down your anxiety and overthinking.

I love your style - and the meditation. Thank you so much!

Excellent guidance. Thank you for such a useful tool!

Loved this. Recognizing my mind focus & get back on the platform.

That was an awesome way to visualize being in the moment! I usually have a difficult time with visualizing. But this works for me: I grew up in New York (city), took the subway all the time. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

That was a visualization I've never experienced before. Quite interesting. Will return. Namastè🍃

Just right! The only thing that threw me was the chimes. I thought my phone was ringing!

Really enjoyed this metaphor and the pace of this meditation

Your style wisdom and voice are so welcoming! Blessings…

Beautiful visual. I will use this often. Thank you ❤

Perfect. I will use this imagery often to refocus my meditation thoughts.
