So what's the wind that moves my mind? Quieting the mind is always a process that goes through the body. Even in modern understanding of the nervous system and sympathetic and parasympathetic innovation. Once we get that, we say, well, it's super important to be able to focus on the breath, to slow down a bit, our breathing, make it longer and slower, and learn to regulate. And then I don't deal at all with my thoughts. I deal with the settling of my mind so that the water becomes clearer. This doesn't mean that nothing is arising anymore, but it's not so bothering anymore. It becomes more like a clear surface of learning. I guess if you look at the world and you see the world moving. But it's not that it bothers me and I'm suffering from the noise in my mind.
