The mind is meant to wander - this is how it protects us.
It projects into the future, and it ruminates on the past as a way of attempting to predict, attempting to understand, attempting to process and attempting to save us from future pain and to bring us into pleasure as much as possible.
The mind is not floating forward and shooting back because it's 'bad', and this isn't something we have to use great discipline in order to 'stop.'
Rather, when we can WITNESS this tendency of the mind, when we can hold this tendency with love and compassion - we can soften our experience of this projection. We can bring ourselves into that state of witnessing, so that we can be in the experience without feeling like we ARE the experience.
From there we can come into the moment as much as is available to us. Not fighting the mind, but working WITH the mind to just be here - as much as we can.
We can observe from this place. Feel from this place. Sense from this place. We can process and predict while staying rooted in what is - having a center of calm upon which to do our processing and projecting.
When we can hold the mind gently, when we can witness it and not fight with it, when we can come to the now without force - we may find that there is more peace and balance in our experience.
