“Thinking is not bad, nor is it even undesirable during meditation, What matters is whether you are aware of your thoughts and feelings during meditation and how you are in relationship to them. Trying to supress them will only result in greater tension and frustration and more problems, not in calmness, insight, clarity and peace. Meditation is not so concerned with how much thinking is going on as it is with how much room you are making it to take place within the field of your awareness from one moment to the next.”
