There are two universal truths that both science and spirituality would agree upon: everything is energy and energy follows thought. If we follow the logic whereas A = B (everything = energy) and B follows C (energy follows thought), then A follows C. Therefore, everything follows thought. That’s some mind-fullness!
Sometimes it feels like the mind is in pursuit of us, rather than the other way around. It tempts, it tricks, it tick-tock-ticks. It lures us into thought (and by universal law, everything must follow).
“Hey, mind! I’m simply trying to sit here and breathe!” That sounds like a warning, but it’s actually an invitation… and the mind knows right where to find you. After all, you are “sitting here breathing.”
As we bring the present moment into the mix, into the here and now, the mind relaxes a bit and thoughts don’t feel so oppressive. The tip of the nose is a faithful spot to collect your attention and bring yourself into the here and now. The mind won’t be far away. In fact, it’ll soon join you… there’s nowhere else it would rather be.
Happy meditating!
