MEDITATION & THOUGHT PUMP

When we meditate we start focusing

FOCUS

Until we reach that ideal state of mind

FOCUS

…that slowly…

FOCUS

…slowly…

FOCUS

…slowly…

…fades away

Our thoughts start rushing in.

And our mind jumps from one to the other.

hey!

Until at one point: “Hey! I was meditating!”

So we go back to our meditation

FOCUS

And reach again our focus point

FOCUS

FOCUS

FOCUS

FOCUS

Meditation

Thought Pump

hey!

This process is absolutely natural.

YOU CAN THINK OF MEDITATION AS A TRAINING TO EXERCISE TWO THINGS:

Breaking the Thought Pump

The meditation focus itself
