Mini Exploration 005.Thinking

A gentle invitation to notice your experience.

How does thinking happen for you?

Rather than noticing what you are thinking about, notice how the thought appears.

Does it arrive as words or an inner voice?
Images?
Remembered sounds or music?
A bodily sense or feeling?
A vague sense of knowing?
Something you understand before you can put it into words?

And how often are you actually thinking?

Are there little gaps between thoughts? Does thinking seem continuous, or only seem that way until you start paying attention?

Don't try to change anything. Simply notice how your own mind works.

Reflection: What form did your thinking take most often? Did you notice anything you hadn't previously counted as thought?
