Feelings, emotions, thoughts future, current, past all melded into one mind. Towards the end of the session, there was less noise and calmness.
There was a lot going on at the start and I just let it happen but eventually towards the end it just faded out over time.

Seemed to slow down over time
I like the sentiment of just watching it instead of fighting it or trying not to think. Good excercise
It’s active and that’s okay
Noticed all the thoughts about work, friends, relationships all bouncing around, keeping my brain occupied. But it was cool to just let my brain run free and not really worry about the outcome, let them come and go as they please

Just thoughts that constantly cycle in and out, almost like a merry-go-round. Work, house projects, relationships, erection issues…
Not sure what I’m being asked to do here? Listen to my crazy thoughts? Clear my crazy thoughts? Doesn’t feel very meditative
It’s an interesting reversal of regular meditation and I can see how it could work well in combination. I shall definitely try it again.
It’s new for me to just let the mind wander for the entirety of a meditation session. It was interesting to watch where it went and not try to influence it at all.
Many thoughts came in, sometimes I went with my thoughs other times I tried to observe them, but wasnt too successful
I think about sex. Regrets not living out to expectations. Thoughts throughout the day, High intensity emotions, constructed images of either to come things or completely fantastical things
I have been less concious with my acknowledging but not fusing to thoughts practice, this was a welcome and well needed training and reminder
My mind is nearly always on work , as well as several other thoughts sort of in the back ground. I was good to take the time to actually listen to all the thoughts instead of trying to block them out. The thoughts in the background came to the front when I listened
I felt I was able to quieten and compartmentalise my monkey mind also noticed twinges of arousal as I did good practice
It literally tells you to observe your thoughts.
It was interesting to inventory the thoughts that come into my head when I allow myself to just sit with my thoughts. Unlike other kinds of meditation, I appreciated not feeling like I was failing by not being able to clear my mind.
Being conscious of the monkey mind made it go into overdrive. I felt calm emotionally, but my mind felt self conscious and wouldn’t think about one topic for more than a moment. In the time it took me to categorize a thought my mind split down two or three more associations. And then it would repeat. I’d think about the same 4 or 5 things and then follow the chain reaction of a dozen sub associations for each. Going from my meeting in the day, sex, exercise, weight loss, meal prep, that cute girl that smiled at me today, meditation, check in with the body, sex, cute girl, meeting, exercise, and so on nonstop.

It became less agitated the longer I observed it.
One thought leads to the next. It follows a trail.
