Watching Traffic in Your Mind

Instructions for "Watching Traffic in Your Mind":
  • Stop what you are doing, take a grounding belly breath, and close your eyes if you can.
  • Bring your attention to the thoughts in your mind.
  • Watch them pass as if you were watching traffic pass on the road.
  • Resist the temptation to get into any of the thought cars, just let them pass. 
  • If you do find you have gotten in a thought car, no judgment, just get out and go back to watching the thought cars pass.

Meditation isn't about emptying the mind of all thought, it's about being able to observe thought without getting involved with it.
This is a key skill when doing the Six Step Process. If you are not aware that you are in an upset because you have gotten carried away with it, then you won't be able to recognise that choice point where you either (a) pick up your Six Steps to Freedom book, or (b) you stay in the upset. 
This meditation is a great way to practice strengthening the muscle of choice!

"My mind is not my enemy. It is what I do with it and because of it that can hurt me." - Forsyth & Eifert
