:: Of its own Nature ::

It's fortunate that meditation doesn't stop the brain from working, as without a functioning brain we wouldn't be alive. The brain coordinates all activity in the body-mind from the "voluntary" to the autonomic.

When we meditate, we do not allow our impulses and thoughts to translate into actions.

We simply watch our thoughts.

Looking at the thoughts, we realise that all these impulses arise in the mind.

They have a life of their own.

They arise even without conscious effort.

By not reacting to impulses, we come to understand their nature.
