Watching the Mind
The River kids have taken on a big challenge recently - they have begun learning how to watch the “monkey mind". We did a fun exercise where everybody tracked all the thoughts that were going on in their heads for about 15 minutes. As everyone knows who's ever tried tracking the mind, it's not an easy thing! They began to see how many thoughts, feelings, ideas and sensations occur and how many, if not all of them, can take us out of the present moment. They were pretty amazed at how rare it is to be in the now, in present time and not lost in a thought about the past or the future.
