Because I have been a yoga therapist and meditation teacher for a very long time, I am often asked to clearly define two of the most widely used meditation terms: stillness of mind and emptying the mind. Both terms do not mean what they imply......they are simply reminders to stop REACTIVE THINKING, not thinking itself. By becoming observers of our thoughts during meditation, we have the opportunity to observe how often we think, and entertain, negative thoughts. Trust this helps those of you out there in cyber land who have wondered too about those terms.
