In this episode, Sarah and Jacob explore the differences between concentration and mindfulness, and what is important about each of these skills individually and jointly. Sarah also shares some theories as to why we become distracted by our thinking during meditation that could transform your meditation practice. If you follow the strategies shared you could find yourself easily disconnecting from your own thinking during your mindfulness practice and experiencing contentment in the quiet.
