Some people might call it meditation, but that would be an incorrect description as Meditation means either, in western parlance, to think very intensely on a concept or problem or, in eastern parlance, to effect a sort of indistinguishable awareness between you and the item of concentration.

It could lead to a method of meditation, or be slightly adapted into a meditation, but by itself is not. I am familiar with it by the name of Thought Observation, a very straight forward name.

This is just becoming aware of which thoughts are actively going through your mind. After a while, the extra attention paid to this hither to unnoticed activity slows this process down until you are able to choose which thoughts or problems you want to devote all of your focus onto.

It is the Mental version of the “E” in Tim’s DEAL.

For me, “appreciation” is that what you might loose and might be irreplacable. Wheter it is a person or a feeling of comfort, safety and sanity.
