As a meditation teacher, I’m always curious to know what’s inspired new students to learn meditation. When I ask students what brought them to learn meditation one reason always stands out.

People tell me they want to learn meditation because:

‘I can’t stop my chattering mind.’ ‘I’m always thinking.’ ‘My mind never stops.’ ‘My head is so busy.’

The truth is we’re never going to stop the thoughts, ideas, memories, images and feelings that move through the mind
