Waves Meditation (No Resistance, No Entanglement)

Hello, my friends: welcome to the waves meditation. When I go to the beach, I like to watch the waves come and go. Our mental formations are like waves, too: thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations arise and pass in their own time. We don’t need to resist them or get caught up in them. We can simply watch them come and go.
