It can be really difficult to focus on the meditation object, with the mind full of thoughts. By imagining them as leaves floating away downstream, it can make it a little easier to let the swirling thoughts go and improve focus and clarity.

The anxiety I was feeling earlier about the unknown for next month is gone now after listening to this meditation. Jiva’s voice has a calming effect on me. During this meditation I would see the words I was thinking on a leaf floating away down the stream.

Relieving
It was a relief letting the thoughts go as they came to mind. A meditation I see myself coming back to over and over again.

Staying present.
I learned that giving my mind a way to release my unwanted thoughts, provides an end point for that thoughts, they would pile up and I'd think about not thinking about them. Now, as I watch the leaf float away, I am open and calm as I sit present, I can repeat the process until my mind settles down.

Sabotage!
My mind has been trying to sabotage me all day with negative thoughts or allowing negativity to creep into the most positive things. This really helped me recognise this for what it was and try to move past it to make space for better ones :-)
