Here’s a nice article from the people who brought us the film the Quantum Activist. It’s a summary of some recent studies on meditation and mindfulness. Among other things it points to the value of recognizing your relationship to wandering thoughts. One of the early insights of meditation is the nature of thoughts and the power they have over you,
When we grant unnecessary weight or significance to passing thoughts, we exhaust ourselves keeping up. But when we recognize the fleeting nature of thoughts and learn to attach more appropriate urgency to them we can free our selves from the gerbil wheel of Samsara.
I really enjoyed the Quantum Activist movie. This article is a good reminder of why it is in our best interest to spend a little time everyday following out breath, chanting the name of the Buddha, and finding a little peace.
