In order to clear our “container” we first must notice that we have a container, and what’s in it. This meditation is a good practice as we learn to be observers of our thoughts. When we get good at noticing them, we can decide what we do with them – keep them, play with them, change them or simply let them go…Enjoy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
