Being Present with Thoughts and Emotions
Rather than engaging with thoughts actively, mindfulness suggests observing thoughts as events in the field of awareness. By being mindful, one can notice the tendency of thoughts to be intertwined with emotions and self-centered stories. Mindfulness allows individuals to perceive the autopilot nature of the mind, especially in instances of anxiety and depression. It offers a common pathway to awareness and invites individuals to ground themselves in their embodied experience. The practice of mindfulness often involves focusing on the breath as a tool to anchor oneself in the present moment and cultivate stillness and silence.
