Meditative thought of the day...

Being Still In meditation, being still in body and mind are similar, yet are implemented in different ways. Being still in body is simply not moving. Yet the longer I am still, the more tempted I am to move because of all sorts of things. Aches, pains, itches, a wandering bee that has taken an interest in me. Being still in the mind, once understood, is also simply not letting your mind dwell on the stray thoughts that pop up. Yet as I spend more time in meditation, the more thoughts pop into my mind and I find myself mentally traveling down that abstract path. The key to being still in mind and body is the same. Training. Becoming distracted is not the problem. Staying distracted is. The way to train yourself not to be distracted is, when you realize you have become distracted, refocus yourself. Again and again. Over time you will find that you become less and less distracted.
