Wandering Mind As Addiction

It’s not a failure of will when the mind wanders. The effort that is required to break these mental patterns (this addiction to distraction) is not a contracted effort, rather it comes from connecting with the pleasure that is already present. We do this by connecting with the body in stillness, recognizing when the mind is not dispersed, and noticing just what is happening in this very moment, whether it’s pleasant, unpleasant, busy, calm, full, or empty.

Sincere thanks. This is 1 of my biggest struggles in life.

Some helpful new words and ideas for me, thank you.

Beautiful meditation and teaching to help deepen the meditation practice. Thank you

Pow 💥 very powerful, thank you! The metaphor for addiction is solid, as I am literally that sober person walking through the room of drinks. It takes great spiritual rooting to stay with the light inside. This will also deeply help me in all manifestations of my mental and emotional addictions. Thank you!

🙏❤️🎧 Enjoyed immensely. Thankyou
