Thoughts and emotions
- Relating to thoughts similarly to how we relate to sounds – seeing
their arising and passing away
- Seeing recurring patterns and how these develop and play out
within the mind
- Using metaphors to help point towards what is being invited here
- Acknowledging the challenge
- Use the breath as an anchor when the mind becomes unsettled
- Expanding the attention to include emotions, naming these, seeing
how they play out in body sensations
- Mindfulness of the full range of experience – choiceless awareness
- Being with and bringing an open attention to whatever is arising in
each moment – the breath, body, thoughts, sounds, emotions etc.
- Noticing recurring patterns in the body and mind
- Coming back to the breath as an anchor as often as is needed.
