Mindfulness Is Not About Emptying Your Mind

In this talk I push back against the misconception that mindfulness meditation is the act of ‘emptying the mind’ or about trying to attain a state of ‘no thought’. This is wrong, and attempting to attain such a state may hinder your progress. No. The goal is to observe reality as it is for what it is. This will mean observing our thoughts, and reactions to them, then gently returning focus back to our meditation object.

I really like how simply and beautifully you repeated the point of meditating. You were non-judgemental and supportive with each word you spoke. Much gratitude...
