Day 8 | Mindfulness of Thoughts | Waxing Crescent | Mindfulness with the Moon

This is day eight of a 29 day journey where you will learn the fundamentals of mindful meditation while syncing yourself with the cycles of the moon, the gorgeous feminine mass in our solar system. Begin this podcast on the new moon to follow the cycle that is outlined over the next Synodic month: The harmonization of the movement of both the sun and the moon.

Understanding the mind is critical to our happiness + suffering. Today, we learn from Buddhist concept around noticing our thoughts. We have between 60-80,000 thoughts every single day and guess how many are repeating? 80%!!! 80% of these thoughts are repeating. We remember and forget and remember again.

For 20 minutes of meditation, we get to practice trusting the mind and let the thoughts flow, simply noticing when our mind finds a thought. Remember, the boulder is not heavy unless you pick it up.
