The Meditation Myth of the Quiet Mind a la Craig Hamilton

Traditional and mystical wisdom has taught us that successful meditation requires suppressing or eliminating our thoughts, over-riding or stilling thoughts with mantras, or at least redirecting them to be more ‘spiritual’. That’s a process like trying to pin down a ball of mercury, and has led to years of frustrated or defeated practitioners of meditation. Renowned meditation teacher Craig Hamilton dispels that myth by suggesting meditation, properly understood, is about cultivating the ability to disengage and free yourself from dictates of the mind in order to tap into your ‘wisdom capacity’ and catalyze spiritual awakening.
