“There’s absolutely no point in focusing or dwelling on the past, or focusing or being nervous about the future or what’s going to happen. We really want to stay in the present moment as much as possible.”
“[Meditation] is not about the results. This is not something you’re doing to try to see something happen as quickly as possible, and then you get frustrated when it doesn’t happen. We’re not adding that mentality to this.
