During the practice of meditation, the occurrence of self-generated and spontaneous thought and the tendency of the mind to wander away from the intended goal of meditation is ubiquitous, and comprises one of the fundamental teachings of meditation: a heightened awareness of where our attention is placed, and an awareness of the contents of our mind. Mind-wandering in the context of meditation provides individuals a unique and intimate opportunity to closely examine the nature of the wandering mind, cultivating an awareness of ongoing thought patterns while simultaneously cultivating equanimity (evenness of temper or disposition) and compassion towards the content of thoughts, interpretations, and bodily sensations. In this review we provide a theoretical framework highlighting the neurocognitive mechanisms by which contemplative practices influence the neural and phenomenological processes underlying spontaneous thought. Our theoretical model focuses on several converging mechanisms: the role of meta-awareness in facilitating an increased moment to moment awareness of spontaneous thought processes, the effects of meditation practice on key structures underlying both the top-down cognitive processes and bottom-up sensory processes implicated in attention and emotion regulation, and the influence of contemplative practice on the neural substrates underlying perception and perceptual decoupling.
