Recognizing Our Inadvertent Training
The
wildness of mind that we experience when we sit quietly noticing our
body and breathing for five minutes is the result of everything we’ve
been doing before those five minutes. Frequently we discover that our
minds do not rest in radiant contentment for the entire meditation
session. Why not? Because we have been training for years in desiring,
reaching, grasping, getting, and then wanting more, and then, of course,
more—all reinforcing the underlying feeling that this moment is not
enough.
