When you notice yourself doing this, just acknowledge it and get back to your meditation. Sometimes you can also meditate on a certain topic. If something is bothering you and you keep thinking about it, it can help to sit down and calmly let your mind consider the topic, and find a solution, options, choices, a resolution, &#8230; which can make you more at ease. You can meditate any way you want!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Carolien Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Ohh you are just a thought and  i wil go back to what i was doing that moment and concentrate on that.
