This meditation gives you a powerful visualization for practicing the art of mindfulness, which is observing your thoughts and feelings from a neutral perspective, without attachment or resistance. They are like the currents of the river rushing past you, while you, the observer, are like a rock in the riverbed. This allows you to stay anchored in a calm state of awareness, which you can then bring back into your day. Photo by JAMES WESTMAN from Pexels www.christina-mcmahon.com

I'm a little distracted today

This really didn't do much for me. I had trouble connecting to the words and focusing. It felt a little too vague.

Tim

I'm feeling more stress after this meditation than I did beforehand.

Everything is flowing around me regardless of what I let in. So I have to be very selective on what I let move me or what I let in or I will get pushed down the stream by everything else.

I am the rock in the river bend

I love this reminder and the visualization that my thoughts and feeling flow through me and past me like the currents of a river bend, but I am a rock..Never getting swept up in the current. I also love the reminder that I am not my thoughts or feelings.

I couldn't stop thinking about my dog river, and then this meditation came up!

Had a mindful breakfast and I think breathing deeply improves digestion at a rapid pace

The river

I can just observe my thoughts and then let them float away like with the current of the river

The River

Let the thoughts flow like a river. Let me be steady, like a rock.

Olivia

Flowing

I must remember that I am not my thoughts or my feelings. They are their own separate entity. My authentic self is the sturdy rock in the river of my life.
