Dealing With Distractions

Mediation practice is about finding the stillness within. Connecting with ourselves in the silence that reassures and reaffirms. But silence can be -- and will be -- broken. It's what the mind does. It thinks. It wanders. And it intrudes on the stillness we strive to create by breathing in and breathing out. This meditation explores four techniques for dealing with distraction, quieting the noise in our mind, and bringing us back to the breath.
