Mindfulness in Practice: Stream of Consciousness Exercise
United States Department of Homeland Security
Key Points
- In this video, we learned about the stream of consciousness exercise.
- This is how it works. Imagine that your mind is like a river flowing.
- Everything happening in your mind is like a leaf or boat floating down this river. This includes any thoughts, feelings, memories, or urges that come into your mind.
- Imagine that you are sitting on the bank of this river, just observing each of the leaves as they float by. Your job is simply to notice the leaves.
