Hello everybody.
In this video,
I'd love to share with you how we can better manage.
A busy mind.
During our meditation practice.
So if you're experiencing your mind being very busy during your meditation practice and you can't seem to slow down your mind,
Then here's how we can utilize some amazing Buddhist teachings to help us with this.
So during your meditation practice,
Take a step back and pause.
And give your mind freedom to think.
Because whatever is arising in your mind.
.
.
Is rising to be understood.
Resolve and transformed.
It's kind of like if our best friend or our partner would come to us.
And to ask us for help to a problem.
It's very important that we listen to them.
We develop an understanding of their concerns.
And then we can furthermore help them.
And this becomes very empowering when we do this in our meditation practice.
And I think if we practice meditation as commonly taught in the world today,
Where we be non-judgmental and we just be and don't think of the past or the future.
Then it creates a little bit of temporary calm.
But our problems and our challenges just keep on ruminating.
So this is why it's so important in our meditation practice.
To mindfully pause.
Observe your thoughts with kindness and compassion.
And then see what you can learn from whatever is arising.
It's very important to contemplate and pause.
Perhaps we might be thinking of worst-case scenarios.
Or are we?
Blowing the problem out of proportion.
And thinking of worst case scenarios.
By doing so.
You start to develop the ability to deeply understand yourself.
And to deeply be aware of.
Any unhelpful thoughts.
Or unhelpful ways of viewing things in life.
And then the next step we can utilize.
Is just start to contemplate on how we overcome the problem.
What do we have to do?
And this is so important because if we.
.
.
Practice meditation as is commonly taught in the world,
Where we just be.
We don't think of the past or the future and we just come into the present moment.
What happens is we don't solve anything.
The problems remain trapped within us.
And yes,
The present moment is beautiful and we need to cultivate it.
But here's this trick,
Here's the secret that the Buddha taught.
The Buddha taught us to further law.
Yes,
Coming to the present moment,
But he taught us furthermore to analyze.
The content of the mind to develop deep insights.
This is called Vipassana.
The Buddha furthermore taught us to develop what is called sati.
Sampayana.
Mindfulness with clear comprehension.
And I think what will happen when you start to learn how to meditate as the Buddha taught.
You'll start to know how to cleanse and purify your mind of things that are creating stress and suffering.
You'll be able furthermore to learn how to direct your mind on more empowering,
Positive thoughts.
And furthermore,
You'll start to develop the ability to focus,
On your brightest,
Prosperous future and living a more happy,
Successful,
Fulfilling life.
Because this is something that we all deserve.
Thanks so much for watching.
