‘As your mindfulness practice opens to include awareness of thoughts, you might find yourself considering thinking as an adversary, the unwanted disruption to a good meditation.
This is a misunderstanding. Thinking is natural. Our mind secretes thoughts just like our body secretes enzymes. In mindfulness training, we are not trying to stop thinking. Rather, we are trying to cultivate a wise relationship with thoughts. This becomes especially important when we’re dealing with thoughts and beliefs that are negative or undermining.’ ~ Jack Kornfield
