What I learned about Meditation last night was that it wasn't about sitting still and having no thoughts, but to watch your thoughts. To "tame" the mind so to speak...although, I believe it is more about taming ourselves. She suggested that the more you can see your thoughts and not act upon them, the more choices you have to act....I agree.
What I also heard was that we have been taught to follow the mind, and now we will unlearn that....by meditating and watching what our thoughts are saying...just watching them come and go and feeling how we feel with each thought.
This makes more sense to me than my previous idea of meditation was to have no thoughts or to just be with your breath.
What I heard last night was to be with it all and be aware.
I may start sitting with my thoughts and watching my mind.
