Mindfulness as a way to restart your mind, instead of calming down (sh.itjust.works)

I feel like a lot of people are attracted to mindfulness or meditation because they want to deal with racing thought or feeling too agitated in some way.

Then they use meditation to calm down and clear their mind.

But for me it is the complete opposite. Normally I have no idea what I'm thinking and cannot pin-point any specific feeling.

Mindfulness meditation seems to allow me to hear my mind again, see what I'm feeling and thinking and being able to act on it again. Does anybody else have the same experience?

Over time, meditation can help one experience the space between thoughts and explore the energy of feeling. Meditation reveals the truth that there is actually no such thing as ‘our thoughts’ or ‘our feelings’, there is just ‘now energy’ to be aware of and connected to or not.
