2022-05-2925 minHOLISTIC GROWTH with Shikha PandeyMEDITATION - MENTAL NOTINGWe often set goals for our meditation practice and usually we make it about stopping the mind from thinking. But the practice of meditation has no goals and definitely not to keep your mind blank, because that is not possible. Through this MENTAL NOTING meditation change your relationship with your thoughts by becoming aware of them and then making a choice of not getting entangled in them.
A beautiful practice to enhance focus and concentration.
