Day 18 - meditation on working with thoughts

Today we return to working with thoughts arising in the mind, and working with the mindfulness to notice when we are pushing away the thoughts or having hijacked by them. Today's practice is like taking a seat by the river and observing the thoughts passing by. Some thoughts passed by so silently that we barely notice them, while some are so unpleasant that our attention turns away from them, and others are so compelling that they hijack our attention altogether to carry us far down the river.
