Guided Meditation On Mind & Self As Moon & Sun

This meditation builds on a metaphor or concept found in Vedic literature--that the mind is like the moon, and the true Self is like the sun. The moon in all of its activities can block the true Self or reflect the true Self. Try this meditation if you like giving your mind something to think about while you're sitting. We often think that meditation has to be JUST breathing or JUST observing, but in fact, the yoga sutras teach that focusing on an object or thing is a good way to calm the mind.
