Watching The River Of Thought.

Here I offer a brief guided meditation where we are invited to observe thoughts in three modes: Thoughts with no emotional component, thoughts with little emotional charge, and thoughts with more emotional charge. With a practice such as this one we may begin to recognize that the "charge" is not inherent in the object of thought, but we are in fact "charging" the thoughts ourselves. Thoughts then begin to loose their hypnotic spell.  Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.org I have been practicing meditation for 36 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books. I have received formal training in Theravada, Mahayana (Tibetan, Zen,) and Vedanta meditation techniques as well as Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, MBSR, Neuroplasticity, Nonviolent Communication, and Buddhist Psychology. I teach from a secular voice and I am passionate about bringing timeless wisdom teachings to people of any faith, belief system, or tradition.
