"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awake." Carl Jung
What does looking inside mean?
It means learning ways to quiet the mind from racing thoughts
We hear it a lot "meditation is hard", "I can't x, y, or Z." Etc.
Here's the deal. If we say we can't do something, that is true.
At the same time, if we take time to learn how to do something, then we will eventually be able to do it. It might take 1 minute to learn or a life time, if we "can't do something" that means we are still learning how to do it.
Despite what may be common in popular belief, forms of meditation seems to be very important in teaching a human how to focus attention in daily life.
Try this breathing meditation for 4 minutes.
