They are just another object of mindfulness, another object of meditation. Thoughts should not be treated as obstacles or hindrances. When they are noticed with precision and balance they have no power to disturb the mind. Try to be aware of the thought as soon as it arises, rather than some minutes afterward. Otherwise, the simple note of “thinking, thinking” will serve the purpose. Some people may find it helpful to label the thinking process in a more precise way, to note different kinds of thoughts, whether “planning” or “imagining” or “remembering.” This sharpens the focus of attention. As soon as you are mindful of a thought, it disappears, and the attention returns to the breath. You will see that when there is a strong detachment from the thought process, thoughts don’t last long. It is helpful to make a mental note of “thinking, thinking” every time a thought arises observe the thought without judgment, without reaction to the content, without identifying with it, without taking the thought to be I, or self, or mine. To meditate upon thoughts is simply to be aware, as thoughts arise, that the mind is thinking, without getting involved in the content: not going off on a train of association, not analyzing the thought and why it came, but merely to be aware that at the particular moment “thinking” is happening. This identification reinforces the illusion of self, of some “one” who is thinking.
