Mindfulness means being aware of your thoughts, not stopping them. If your mind wanders, you're not getting it "wrong." In fact, every time your mind wanders and you notice it, it is actually a moment of mindfulness. Photo by Alejandro Piñero Amerio on Unsplash www.christina-mcmahon.com

Clouds
In this session I kept thinking of my great grandmother (we all called her meema) because it said let your thoughts pass like clouds & Meema had really white, poofy & curly hair which has always reminded me of clouds. Also the day she passed away there were clouds that looked a lot like her hair & ever since then whenever me & my mom see them we call them "Meema Clouds".

Mindfulness
Letting my thoughts pass without engaging them is a real challenge for me. Sometimes living in my head feels really reinforcing, because I engage my thoughts and come to conclusions that maybe feel helpful or definite in that moment. The truth is what happens in my mind stays in my mind. When I'm constantly engaging my thoughts and turning things over in my head I'm not making any progress toward anything meaningful or being productive. Having thoughts, letting them pass, and taking action based on what feels right in any given moment is what is important. I can't know what's right if I'm not listening to the moment and am too busy engaging what's happening in my head. So...I hope I come across more meditations like this, because I need to practice this.

Breath
Breathing is so simple that I often forget about it but really it's such a good tool to use for anchoring myself to me. And not drifting away with those clouds. My breathe is something I can return to when I'm stressed and it will always be there for me.

Catch and release
I can observe thoughts without judgement and then let them go

Not After Nachos
Shouldn't meditate on a full stomach. The spicy sauce creates congestion and labored breathing.

Moments
Even a few moments of stillness, noticing thoughts, is helpful.

Focus
My mind was all over the place could hardly concentrate on the meditation. I do like she kept saying that it was fine to have thoughts creep in ... "just fade away like a cloud" idk why but I really did like that analogy .

1st meditation
Thoughts are worldly, people are worldly, talking is worldly. I should mediate more often.

Thought a moment
When you take a second to breathe and let your muscles relax, you feel a sudden movement in your feelings that helps you relax and your thoughts

It's so easy to be distracted by negative thoughts and insecurities.
I can have control over my thoughts if I let myself focus on them, simply acknowledge them, and then let them pass.
