Beautiful. You explain all of this really well. That's what everyone says to me about meditation - I can't stop thinking! So I tell them that's exactly what they're meant to be doing, coz the mind DOES that! But 'meditation' - the word itself - wasn't originally meant to mean that was it? I often forget that, though I know the process - first concentration (that's why looking at a candle, or a fire, or following the breath) is such a good tool - and then you move on from there. Real meditation is extraordinary - entering the infinite space! Thanks for sharing a #mindfullife post - we learn so much from each other, and help remind each other to stay on the path!!
