Sitting with Intention

What is meditation?

Meditation is a practice in awareness, a training of the mind to be fully present. Meditation is not turning off your thoughts, but instead to be aware of them without judgement.  Then once you've observed your thoughts, return your focus back on the breath, the present moment.
