In mindlessness, we are often drawn into our thoughts and feelings. They distract us from, inform, or seem to control our behavior while we, consciously or unconsciously, assume our internal processes to be realistic and true. Through this assumption, we become immersed in or fused to our internal process. A main practice in mindfulness meditation is to defuse from our internal experience so that we can observe the contents of consciousness (e.g., values, impressions, thoughts, emotions, reasoning, stories about experience). This is a shift from subjective immersion in to an objective perception of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations.
