I don&#39;t dwell or elaborate on them. I let them come and go however they want. And I come back to focusing on the feeling of my breath when I notice I was distracted. Everytime. Some people like to imagine their thoughts are clouds passing by. Working with that analogy works, too.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ami Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The best way to deal with thought is to observe it. When a thought appear tell yourself that a thought is coming. After that, try to see if this is a negative or positive thoughts and say to your self: I can see a negative&#x2F;positive thought rising. When it disappear, note to yourself that a thought is vanishing. Have a great day! \ud83d\udc4d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Febriana S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Let the thoughts pass. They won\u2019t disturb your meditation as long as you don\u2019t stop and follow them up. If they keep disturbing you, ask yourself, what you\u2019ve been thinking lately. Maybe you need to reach into yourself deeper to resolve the issue. It is also the part of meditation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ad Rio Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Tey ro just let them pass through then refocus on breathing.  You can also write them down if they&#39;re interfering too much.  You could try meditating with your eyes open too if breathing is too hard to focus on.  I think candles are used traditionally to focus on during meditation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mickelle O.
