Namaste.
It can be challenging to manage our mental activity.
Because our awareness is constantly being pulled towards many different objects.
Which can dissipate our mental energy.
And leave us feeling tired.
When we start practicing meditation,
It is common to try to force the mind to calm down by attempting to stop its activity.
However,
This can often backfire.
As the mind may resist and become even more active.
Think of the mind like a child.
If you tell a child to do something,
They may often do the opposite.
That is why the Kaya's theory of meditation takes a different approach.
By focusing on the body.
And bringing stillness to it,
We can naturally still the mind as well.
This has a positive effect on the entire nervous system.
And helps to calm mental activity.
