"I Want to Learn How to Meditate"

Most Westerners equate Mind with thinking, but in Buddhism it is acknowledged to be vastly more . . . Mind is the entire spectrum of our inner experiences: thoughts, feelings, perceptions, consciousness, subconsciousness, unconsciousness. It is our perceiver, translator, reflector and mirror.

Without it there is nothing . . . within it is everything.

To begin a meditation practice is to embark on a journey,  an adventure of sorts, during which we learn how to observe --  and best 'use' -- our Mind.  (Length: 10 minutes)
