Am I doing it right? How long should I be doing this for? Why can’t my mind stop thinking?
If you are new to meditation, or have not found the right technique for you, these are probably a few of the many questions you are asking yourself. The truth is, for many people, successfully meditating has involved letting go of the need to do it so well, and moving away from the idea that in order to meditate, we must clear our mind.. when in reality, it is so much easier to fill it. Number meditation, the technique we teach at Sanya, is just that.
Nobody can actually empty their mind. The goal is to detach from all mental noise, and stop trying to control our thoughts, by focusing on something specific (in this case, a number).
