sort of seeing the thought clearly,
witnessing it coming and going,
emotions coming and going
without judgment,
but with a relaxed, focused mind.
So for example, right now,
if I focus too much on the balls,
then there's no way I can relax
and talk to you at the same time.
Equally, if I relax too much
talking to you,
there's no way I can focus on the balls.
I'm going to drop them.
Now in life, and in meditation,
there'll be times when the focus
becomes a little bit too intense,
and life starts to feel a bit like this.
It's a very uncomfortable
way to live life,
when you get this tight and stressed.
At other times, we might take our foot off
the gas a little bit too much,
and things just become a sort
of little bit like this.
Of course in meditation --

we're going to end up falling asleep.
So we're looking for a balance,
a focused relaxation
where we can allow thoughts to come and go
