It’s not about making the mind empty or still, although stillness does deepen in meditation and can be cultivated systematically. Above all, meditation is about letting the mind be as it is and knowing something about how it is in this moment. It’s not about getting somewhere else or pursuing some special singular “mindfulness state,” which doesn’t exist, but about allowing yourself to be where and as you already are and letting that be enough for now (again, all puns intended).
