Part 2! Back with 3 more great meditation tips from our time spent with !

1. Find an object of meditation and keep coming back to it- it could be the breath or a good quality you are trying to develop like patience or compassion.
2. When your mind wanders, don’t fight it just gently return your attention to your object of meditation.
