Cultivating Awareness - Awareness Of Thoughts

In this 10-minute practice, we work on becoming aware of our own thoughts. By using the breath as an anchor we intend to focus our awareness on the breath. When thoughts arise, we take this opportunity to practice becoming aware of our thoughts and then gently turn our awareness back to the breath. Each time a thought arrives, and attempts to pull our awareness away from the breath, we use this as an opportunity to become aware of the thought, acknowledge it lovingly, and then return our awareness to the breath.
