How is it to be with our breath with a sense of spaciousness, and also to bring tenderness and gratitude to the tension in our body and our wandering mind? Our body and mind are always doing the best they can to take care of us. How is it to recognize this?

    Wow!it is very interesting . Wadering mind(citta) ,is a usual norm of it. Bring it back on course by sati( meditation). This is the right meditation for vippasana. Sati is necessary everywhere & every time. Do it often in your life when citta wanders away till it is automatically done. At http://www.wimutti.net there are books in many languages free for all. It’s so good for your wandering mind.

      Thanks so much for commenting, Thannarong. Sounds as if you have some experience of the wandering mind and of how to use meditation to develop a relationship with it. I’m glad you’re doing the practice. And thanks for the link to the website for books on the topic.
