So do you notice anything that feels prominent?

Like the coolness of air, maybe by your nose or maybe your chest.

Yeah.

The sound, that's a great one too.

That's where you're going to hold the point, the flashlight.

That's your attentional target for this short practice.

So direct that flashlight right there.

Keep it steady.

You can close your eyes if you want to, whatever you choose just to limit the sensory input.

And if it hasn't happened yet, it surely will, your mind will wander.

And all you do in that moment is notice it.

Ah, the mind has wandered away.

Next step, take that flashlight, redirect it back to that same attentional target.

And repeat.

So it's essentially focus, point that flashlight, notice, use the floodlight, redirect, get the juggler to do its job.

Oh, no, it's a total win.

Now I hope it makes sense why I wanted to describe those three systems because we hit all three in this.

And I think it's really important to not think of the wandering as a problem.

Remember we started out talking about 50% of the time, it's the nature of the mind.

I didn't say, Ed, if you happen to be one of those weird people with mind wanders, like us normal people don't have that, you have mind wandering.
