Now About Meditation

You can still meditate if you have a breathing problem. Remember that  meditation is not about the breath . It’s about familiarizing yourself with your own mind it’s about  awareness  and the  cultivation of mindfulness . To do this in meditation, we use what’s called a  meditation anchor  so that whenever the mind wanders, we have something to bring it back too.  An anchor can be a mantra, the body, sounds or an image it’s a point of focus to which you return when your mind wanders. Remember that meditation is not about what anchor you use.   But the anchor is simply there to remind us that no matter how many times or for how long your mind wonders the anchor is there in meditation as a reference to which we bring the mind back to the present moment over and over again.

From time to time our mind wanders off in thought during meditation .  The anchor we use in meditation is there to remind us that whenever the mind wanders, we can bring it back to the present moment, over and over again. It doesn’t matter how many times or for how long when your mind wanders off once you notice, that is a moment of mindfulness .  A moment where you have woken up in the present, and when this happens, congratulate yourself and gently return to your meditation anchor and to the experience of meditation — that of getting to know and befriending the monkey mind.
