Shamatha
meditation allows us to experience our mind as it is. When we practice
shamatha, we are able to see that our mind is full of thoughts, some
conducive to our happiness and further realization, and others not. It
is not extraordinary that our minds are full of thoughts, and it is
important to understand that it is natural to have so much happening in
the mind.
Over time, practicing shamatha meditation calms our thoughts and
emotions. We experience tranquility of mind and calmly abide with our
thoughts as they are. Eventually, this leads to a decrease in unhelpful
thoughts.
