Thinking vs. Meditating
I don’t teach meditation anymore, for various reasons, but back in the day when I did, a fellow came up to me after a class where I taught a particular breathing technique, and asked me:
“So what am I supposed to be thinking while I’m meditating?”
I was a bit surprised by that. After thinking about it for a few moments I said, “Okay, imagine someone you know is about to have sex for the first time and they come up to you for advice, and ask, ‘So, what am I supposed to be thinking while I’m having sex?
How would you answer?”

I have taught meditation also and when asked why we should meditate I say it’s so you can learn to fully concentrate on what you are doing and thinking without becoming distracted. Your example is a bit blush inducing but absolutely brilliant!😊
lolololol 🤣 ... yep!
