Explanation:
The Theravada technique (which is an adapted visualization of classic Hindu meditation practices) consists of stationing a "silent witness" at the "portals of the mind" to watch thoughts come and go. In a normal person, this activity is frenetic. But the fact that there is a "watcher" whose duty is to "label" these thoughts (stress, hate, extreme emotion, irritation, laughter, joy, etc.) slows down the movement of thought itself and calms the person meditating.
