Greet Each Thought More Positively than Not - (4263)

To not strain the mind and not introduce tension or tightness into our brain, greet each thought positively. Almost as if to welcome it. 

I would say with a kind of smile...

Each thought contains a parcel of knowledge about ourselves waiting to be discovered.

Each thought is an expression of ourselves.

It takes a bit of practice to greet and see each thought without judgment. It is not too hard once we get the hang of it. It is worth making the effort. This is entirely within the traditional practice of meditation. 

We are interested in seeing into each thought not judging each thought.

Seeing leads to comprehension of a thought, and the thinker of the thought. Judgment on the other hand does not lead to comprehension or insight of a thought. It often leads to negative thought.

Comprehension leads to transformation and that is what we are interested in.
