Day 242

#MeditationPractice
 
The practice of meditation isn’t to silence your thoughts—an impossible task—but rather to let them flow naturally, like sitting on the bank of a river and watching the water move by. Sometimes, a thought might catch your attention, like a branch snagging on rocks at the river’s edge. When this happens, you notice and gently release the thought and let it continue on its way.

This experience helps develop a new relationship with your thoughts. You begin to notice that while you have thoughts, your thoughts don’t control you. You can let some go, transform empowering ones into action, and let some settle into possibilities.
​
Meditation prepares you to be yourself. Next time you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts, practice meditating and notice the change in your perspective.
