Within many meditation teachings, our thoughts and emotions are frequently compared to waves on the surface of the sea. Ebbing and flowing into the shore – sometimes with ease, other times more turbulently. As you’re sensing your breath in and out, you may also sense that your mind is as vast as the ocean where deep in the ocean beneath the surface, it’s calm and clear. And from that deep place in the ocean, you can look upward toward the surface, no matter what is going on in your life no matter what those conditions are, deep in the ocean, everything is still.
