-It's for training the [[Monkey Mind|Monkey]]  or the [[The Elephant and the Rider|Elephant]] depending on which metaphor you like. 
- 
-It trains the monkey by letting you practice: 
-  * [[Being Present]] - you are here and it is now and you //know// that. 
-  * [[Remembering]] - ...that you're supposed to be watching your breath when your mind has stopped doing that 
-  * [[Acceptance]] - accepting that you forgot to watch your breath... 
-  * [[Non-Judgement]] - ...but knowing that's not good/or bad, it's just a thing that happened 
-  * [[Letting Go]] - let the go of the distraction, the thought will want to be finished, don't. 
-  * [[Begin Again|Beginning Again]] - start over 
- 
-FIXME 
-  * Nope: not doing the walkthrough here, but it needs to be somewhere.  
-  * insert [[super simple meditation outline]] 
-  * walk through
