ZC 2136: Why Won't My Mind Stop Thinking?

from Zen Commuter Hosted by Thom Walters

One of the most common meditation frustrations is the belief that something is wrong when the mind keeps thinking. In this episode, we gently bust one of the biggest myths about meditation: that a quiet mind is the goal. You'll learn why thoughts are not a sign of failure, what meditation is actually training us to notice, and how changing your relationship to thinking—not eliminating it—brings ease, confidence, and calm to your practice.
