Introduction To Chanting Meditation #10 Mind Wandering

Welcome to session #10 of our thirty (30) session introduction to meditation course.

Insight goes hand in hand with calming and concentration. These are the two main pillars of all contemplative meditation. Each one balances the other and helps us maintain our equanimity.

Absolutely everyone who meditates experiences their mind wandering. It’s completely normal. At some point, while we are meditating, we snap back and think, “Oh, I was supposed to be meditating.”

It’s easy to get down on yourself and think you’re no good at it. But it’s the exact opposite. The moment you realize you became distracted and pop out of your thoughts remembering you’re supposed to be meditating is a win. It’s a moment of clarity. Of waking up. Each time this happens is a good thing. You’re slowly strengthening your Clarity muscle. And, as you do this your mind fog begins to lift.
