What's Meditation For?
It's for training the Monkey or the 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.
- Beginning Again - start over
- Nope: not doing the walkthrough here, but it needs to be somewhere.
- walk through
