During meditation, many thoughts arise. Explain how ritually naming each of these thoughts as “thinking” might help meditators to experience less anxiety, stress, or discontentment.

What does the author mean by groundlessness, or “no ground under our feet”? How is that idea connected to the concept of acceptance?
