Is to learn how to ackonwledge and learn to watch the thoughts go by, without judging them while they pass. Some people prefer to concentrate on the breath, following its ins&#x2F;outs, other prefer to focus on a word or an idea, in time we learn which solution suits us best.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rick Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I&#39;m sorry, I don&#39;t. It&#39;s just something you have to work at. I still am after 40 years. You&#39;ll find your own level eventually or somebody else at Fabulous can help you.<br \/>\nGood luck and take care. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Julio J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Your mind will always wander because  your brain is designed to think and stopping is almost impossible.   Try counting 1 on the in breath  and 2 on the out breath. This will give your mind something to think about and is easy to come back to if you mind wanders again.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jimmie P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s normal for your mind to wander when practicing mediation. And It is a practice. Don\u2019t be judgmental of your practice. When you do notice that your mind has wandered, bring your awareness back to the feeling of your breath flow. Notice the physical sensation of breathing and keep going with yourpractice.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Katherine Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Don\u2019t resist it. Let your mind wonder for a little bit. Accept it fully. Then, when you realize your mind is wandering, say to yourself, \u201cMy Mind is wondering now. They\u2019re just thoughts that come and go. It isn\u2019t bad that I have these thoughts, but now is the time to quiet my mind.\u201d  And then bring your awareness to your Presence. The feelings and sensations of your body. Any tingling you may feel, your heart beat, the air touching your skin, and then bring awareness back to your breath. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hans Helmut F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start focusing on your breathing by thinking &quot;breath in&quot; &#x2F; &quot;breath out&quot; verbally when do these actions. It will help you maintain a deeper focus<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Herbert U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Be kind to yourself and don\u2019t worry if your mind wanders, it\u2019s totally normal. When you notice it has happened just recognise that, then bring your focus back to the focus of your meditation whether that is your breath or sensations in the body or sounds that are around you etc. That is a moment of mindfulness, when you catch yourself having wondered off and then simply noticing before you refocus <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Norbert J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi.
