Meditation is more than you think

We are all troubled by our thoughts. I joke with friends that if any of us were to tell others what we were thinking through the day we would lose our friends, our jobs and might end up in jail. Thoughts are just thoughts. We can learn to observe them — to watch them come and go — without attachment and with less emotional reaction. It is as though the mind has a Velcro attachment to the stream of thoughts that flow through our experience.

The time to start is now.
