"Empty your mind" is the refrain that is often repeated as guidance for how to meditate. Or bring "present moment awareness" to the "the now". Yet time and again when you do that, your mind wanders off somewhere. You start thinking about what you're going to do for dinner or what you are going to wear to work or about that big meeting or argument yesterday. Before we know it, you are lost in thought. But there is a very simple technique to teach your brain how to stop those persistent thoughts from taking over your attention. Practice with me now.
