Leaves on a Stream

Sometimes we think that our emotions are caused by situations that are out of our control. In actual fact, there is usually a connection between what thoughts we entertain to interpret our circumstances and the corresponding emotions we feel. This meditation uses the imagery of leaves on a stream to help us learn how to not get hooked by these interpretations but to rather accept thoughts and emotions as they come and let them go just as easily. In doing so, the emotional intensity and chaos we experience from our thoughts is lessened, allowing us a safe place to simply be.
