Highlights:

  • "You cannot quiet the mind to a point where you can stop your thoughts. There is no off switch." [00:01:30]
  • "Meditation is not about quieting the mind. Do you get that? I hear why you with me? So why meditate, if it's not about quieting the mind?" [00:08:00]
  • "The more you meditate, the more you see." [00:11:30]
  • "Even if you have a busy mind, you can meditate. And you don't have to sit down and try to silence your mind for 40 minutes." [00:17:00]

Steven shares that the goal of meditation is not to silence your thoughts completely, but to embrace them and find inner stillness. Even just taking a few minutes to focus on your breath or listen to sounds can help calm your mind.

  • Learn why you can't fully "turn off" your thoughts
  • Discover meditation techniques to embrace your busy mind
  • Find inner peace in small moments throughout your day
