Working with Thoughts
It
is helpful at the beginning of your meditation practice to free
yourself from the idea that in order to meditate properly you must have
no thoughts. Instead, establish a different relationship with your
thoughts so that over time they can fade more effortlessly into the
background. All meditators have thoughts arising during their
practice—it’s what you do with them that matters.
