Noting Thoughts to See Where the Mind Is Artwork

The Meditation Collective

The meditation-and-the-brain research has been rolling in steadily for a number of years now, with new studies coming out just about every week to illustrate some new benefit of meditation. The practice appears to have an amazing variety of neurological benefits – from changes in grey matter volume to reduced activity in the “me” centers of the brain to enhanced connectivity between brain regions. Basically, it allows for you to take your power back and be the best version of yourself. If you're ready to take accountability for your own life and tune into the answers that have always been within you, this is for YOU. Lets level up our lives, together. This is what the collective is all about.

Noting Thoughts to See Where the Mind Is

December 06, 2023 • Jess

Simply by bringing awareness to the mind, you naturally detach from its thoughts and meanderings. When you observe your own thoughts, you naturally create a separation from them, because you see that they often arise on their own. In this way, you are not as likely to get sucked into each thought. You can notice individual thoughts, overarching mental states, or how active or dull the mind is in any given moment. This practice offers yet another way to understand the thinking mind. You will use a simple noting exercise to look at where the mind is as thoughts arise. Rather than focusing on the content of the thoughts themselves, you will tune in to their general context.
