Many people get frustrated with meditation as they can’t stop thinking. But it is impossible to silence our mind. Our eyes cannot not see. Your ears cannot not hear. In the same way, it’s human to have thoughts. When you try to stop your mind, you are doing the impossible. A quiet mind is not a mind with no thoughts. It is a decision you make to embrace every emotion and thought within you. Eckhart Tolle says: “Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.”
