The Goal of Meditation

Of course, the idea of a "goal" is one that is ultimately seen as empty through meditation, but we get the point...

Through mindfulness meditation & introspective concentration, the mind and its thoughts are recognized for what they are- waves of energy patterns, that can somehow be self-regulated by that amorphous quality of mind that we call "consciousness". This awareness & control comes through the practice of meditation.

"The goal of meditation

 isn't to control your thoughts,

it's to stop letting them

control you."

(Seen on R/meditation)
