Meditation Basics - Thoughts

Brooke has invited Kevin Janks from Centred Meditation back for the next three Monday shows, and together they’ve designed three mini-meditation workshops for you. These workshops go back to the basics of meditation, with each episode focusing on one key topic, that, over time, will allow you to create a well-rounded meditation practice. The three weeks will cover:

• thoughts
• emotions
• present moment awareness

Each episode will begin with a brief introduction from Kevin on the topic we’re exploring, followed by a short guided meditation centred on the week’s topic, allowing you to put in to practice what you’ve learnt.

The focus of this week’s workshop is thoughts and these are the key takeaways from today’s mini-meditation lesson:

• We are not our thoughts, even though we’re the ones who make them up (which is really more reason not to take them too seriously!).
• We have a choice as to how we interact with our thoughts.
• In everyday life, start to notice the thoughts passing through your mind, without trying to change or wish them away. Just notice their transient nature and how they are not you.
