Lazy River Meditation

Sometimes our minds get really busy and we keep thinking about things that aren’t important or that don’t feel good, especially during illness or pain. This meditation helps you practice noticing your thoughts and feelings and letting go of them without paying attention to or engaging with them. This practice helps you gain control of your thoughts by dismissing unwanted thoughts and staying focused on the present.

This meditation is one of twelve meditations found in The Psychotherapy Toolbox for Chronic Illness and Chronic Pain.
