The mind is like the ocean and thoughts are the waves.

The mind is like the ocean and thoughts are the waves. The restlessness of the mind is a deeply ingrained habit, and therefore, most people are not even aware of it. You become aware of it, only in certain situations, such as when you do something that requires your full attention. You cannot quiet the waves of the ocean, but you can quiet your thoughts. Everyone needs some quiet time to experience inner peace. Two of the main ways to quiet the waves of the mind are concentration and meditation.

The first step is to realize how restless the mind is. Sit down in a quiet place, and pay attention to what is going inside your mind. This might feel strange if you have never done so it before.

Try to watch your thoughts, as if you are watching a procession or a parade. Just watch the thoughts coming and going, trying as much as you can not to be involved with them or follow them. You might be surprised at the number of thoughts that pop up in your mind at great speed. It is exactly like waves rushing to the shore, one after the other, never stopping for a moment.

Each thought would try to draw your attention. You will be tossed from one thought to the other. Soon, a certain thought will dominate your mind and make you forget what you intended to do, and then another thought will enter your mind, and another one after it, and so on.

So become the boss of your mind, focus and meditate, and learn how to quiet the chatter of your mind. Stay relaxed and don’t get tense throughout the meditation. Do not fight your thoughts if you cannot stay away from them. It takes some time and effort to tame the mind. The secret of success with this exercise is detachment.

Go on practicing this meditation, even if you fail, and forget to watch your thoughts. Your resolve, patience and perseverance would eventually help you practice this meditation correctly. This meditation helps you gain inner peace, control your mind, and become aware of the “real you”, which is beyond the mind.! ✌️🌀👁🌀✌️
