Most people find that their minds won’t stay still. Attention is drawn away, again and again, into thoughts, feelings, or one of our 5 senses except where we meant to put it. The aim of meditation is not to stop all thoughts. If you are having thoughts during meditation, not to worry, this is perfectly normal. What meditation teaches us is not to hang on to the thoughts and not to run away with them. We accept them but not get caught up by their stories.
