It was absolutely out of control. Jumping from one thing to another every microsecond. Getting caught up in planning, catastrophizing, etc. After 10 mins I able to create a bit of space and not get so caught up in the chatter which was nice. It’s good to give it permission to be what it is instead of trying to control or change it or repress it.
Mine kind of moved slowly from one thing to another but you can’t control the past and you’ve got no control over what happens tomorrow you can only be the best you can be in the present which is the day. And I observed my thoughts and mind in that context which helped frame things for me
I didn’t feel as I could when I was mediating earlier. I felt okay but my mind was numbed a little and not as present from an argument that I got into last evening. It affected me. I couldn’t really focus and did not feel as good.
Felt much better today, just watching my brain wander with no attempts to control it - even laughing at it and how it loses energy as it let thoughts run wild, finally understanding that I’m simply an observer
Had I done this earlier in the day I feel I would have seen more, but as it was I was impressed how quickly my thoughts quietened into low levels.
Felt super relaxed, almost fell asleep
It’s quite happy at the moment, not too much to worry about 
Body feels more calm
I felt calmer and realised how active my mind is. I need to chill!
I just finished my workday and still have a million and one thoughts buzzing through my mind. I felt as though I could notice and see each of those thoughts a little clearer but more importantly I wasn’t fazed that they were there. I was content just to let them pop up and didn’t stress about them.

I felt calmer, and find benefit by labelling my thoughts as they come
I feel a lot better and observed my own thoughts and reactions. I was concerned by the initial anger I felt towards my friends but overall realized it’s part of just my relationship and it’s nothing to be too concerned about. I feel better, and want to keep observing my mind.
I did this after boarding an airplane finishing up a 3 day work trip - the mind is happily blank and wants to stay that way
Really fascinating - my mind put on an amazing show of activity for me!
I have various thoughts flowing through my mind, including the ladies I’m obsessed with, things I have to do, and what I observe.
This was a crucial step in just letting intrusive thoughts flood my mind and all the emotional attachments I’ve made that disrupt my present mind- especially during sex. Just letting all of the unhealthy thoughts flow and allowing them to just lose energy- its unpleasant thinking about my partner’s precious sexual experiences and partner’s she’s had, but, it’s like my mind gets bored with them now and I think it will be helpful in giving it all less power.
Deffo worked even with just 5 mins meditation slowing the breathing down to calm the nerves
There are certain thoughts that i can swat away easily, but when it comes to certain topics, my brain declares the ‘important’ and suddenly they are worth worrying about. Ofc this is still false, it’s just the playing tricks on itself. Gotta stay present and curious!
To be honest I did it first thing in the morning and nothing was going through my head…was still relaxing to have an active rest in the morning though
Sort of feel clearer but my mind was rampant with worry about things. Mainly just the news and how the country is descending into authoritarianism. But feel somewhat in control again after letting it all go wild during my session
