Mindfulness of Mind Meditation — 17-Minute Guided Practice

Mindfulness of Mind Meditation — 17-Minute Guided Practice The mind is always chattering — thinking, planning, remembering, judging, wanting, rejecting. Most of the time, we're lost in it. We believe every thought, follow every impulse. We are not aware of the mind — we are the mind. This practice is a way of stepping back, of watching the mind instead of being lost in it. You are not your thoughts. You are not your mental states. You are the one who notices them. The mind is a river; thoughts are waves. You are the bank. The river flows, the waves rise and fall — the bank remains. The mind will wander. That's what minds do. When you notice, there's no need to judge — simply return. You're not trying to stop thinking. You're learning to see clearly. This meditation is from The Heart of Zen Recovery, a book blending Zen practice with the tools of recovery — transforming addiction into peace, joy, and liberation. 🎧 Find a quiet place, settle in, and let this practice help you see the mind clearly. 📖 Get the book: https://a.co/d/0fcqxnw5 #MindfulnessMeditation #MindMeditation #GuidedMeditation #AddictionRecovery #ZenRecovery #MindfulRecovery #Mindfulness #Meditation #Sobriety
