About this episode
The idea that we must silence our thoughts in meditation is the biggest myth that exists.
And it’s not just a myth: it prevents you from serious engagement with meditation, it has you reinforcing all your old mental habits, and it’s extremely demotivating and discouraging. You will not progress with meditation if you believe this.
If you believe this, you’re not going to become proficient at meditation or yield all the wonderful benefits of it.
Let’s debunk this myth a little and look at a powerful technique for working productively with our thoughts.
