My coming home meditation course, I talk a lot about, you know, it really tracks into some deeper layers of meditation.

It starts off with just developing the breath and mind.

Also, by the way, this isn't a sales bench.

This is just, I'm creating context for what I'm going to talk about.

Just in case your finger was getting itchy and wanted to give a little tap to that fast forward button, skip ahead button.

Anyway, so yeah, on the meditation course, like I start talking about just general breathing your breathing

techniques settling the body still then we move on to stirring the mind

settling the mind developing access concentration which is being able to be

in meditation while having full control of your mental focus during meditation,

which is very useful for being able to navigate kind of the general cavern of self

without being distracted or pulled away from whatever it is that you're focusing on

by passing thoughts or emotions or physical feelings

or external distractions or whatever.

So then from there we move on and that's pretty, you know, that's, I think for the average

meditator, that's pretty complicated.

I mean, that's probably one of the higher levels

that people get to as an average meditator.

Not to say that anyone listening to this

doesn't have that and couldn't proceed past that,

just that the everyday person doesn't seek to go further than that.

So developing the sturdiness of mind and concentration and then also of course some compassion

things, some meta, some loving kindness, meditation, which are quite beautiful.
