Genesis of Thought (Counting your Thoughts)

In this introduction to meditation, you are guided into a simple way of observing the mind by counting the space between thoughts. Instead of trying to stop thinking, the practice begins by gently placing a number between one thought and the next. Little by little, attention moves from the thoughts themselves to the quiet gap that appears between them. As the practice deepens, the number becomes less important, and the sense of “I am” begins to appear in that space between thoughts. This opens a simple doorway into meditation: noticing that beneath the movement of the mind, there is a quiet awareness already present. This video is a gentle starting point for anyone who wants to understand meditation through direct experience, without force or complication.
