River Of Thoughts

A mindfulness based cognitive therapy practice to allow us to place our thoughts somewhere else for a while. Let them come out of the head, pop them on a leaf in the river. Watch them float away. Sitting safely on the bank we can get some valuable space from the stickiest of thoughts. Each time they come back, we pop them on another leaf. The aim isn't to have an empty head. We just get to have the time of this practice to sit down and watch the thoughts flow away out to sea.
