In today's WiseGirl, Brooklyn-based journalist, poet, and author Francesca Maxime talks about mindfulness and meditation: how it's not just about clearing your mind and trying to get calm, but rather, noticing your thoughts as they come and go, seeing them as just thoughts, and recognizing that we can be compassionate towards ourselves if we somehow think they're "bad thoughts." Some people talk about the process as being your own "witness" -- getting into the practice of simply observing how your mind works, without judgement.
