Shamatha (Mind)

Shamatha is the practice of cultivating a calm, clear, and focused mind. In this practice, we cultivate three qualities: relaxation (overcoming tension), stability (overcoming distraction), and clarity (overcoming dullness). In this session, we shift our focus from the breath to the mind. In other words, focusing on the space of the mind and whatever mental events arise in that space. Mental events include thoughts, emotions, memories, and mental images. Simply observing them as they arise and pass. Previous session: Shamatha (Nostrils) - emphasizing clarity of attention. Next session: Shamatha (Awareness) - resting in awareness.
