One of the many benefits of meditation is that it reduces your reactivity. You cultivate a sense of ease with your thoughts and enjoy a broad and spacious perspective on life.
Thoughts continue to arise. That’s totally normal. The human mind doesn’t have an on and off switch. But meditation allows you to rise above the noise of your mind.
And with practice, you’ll notice that you aren’t touched or troubled by the erratic movement of your mind.
And remember. In meditation, you never judge your experience. There is no wrong experience. Everything you experience during meditation is just as it should be. It is exactly what you need at that time.

I am just teaching myself the art of mediation and learning to breathe through stressful situations. Listening to you has been very calming and joyful.
Hey Lyn, That’s really nice of you to say. Thank you! Breathing is such an amazing way to diffuse stress. I do intentional deep breathing every morning to steady my mind and fill my body with calm and goodness. Great you’re learning meditation!!
