I also rely on feedback from my students on the usefulness of what I teach.This is the talk from a session that I taught last Saturday at Beckenham Place mansion. I was asked by a couple of students if I could make it available to them online and as the simplest way for me to do that is by adding it to the podcast, here it is:. Why are our minds so busy and what can we do about it?

In which Robert explains that meditation and mindfulness both consist of learning to focus our awareness. Essentially Presence (mindfulness) is focusing *on* the experience of the sensory present moment and practising certain meditation helps us to focus *within* the sensory present moment. We also learn to notice what is part of our common experience and what we personally bring to the present moment based on our individual experience. Meditations this week are:

The meditation of no meditation for sound. The meditation of no meditation for the breath. Following the breath. The Presence meditation, The Self-Compassion meditation
