Why contemplate? Contemplation practice offers us the experience of focusing our mind on an idea, a thought, or a word for a period of time. We shift our awareness away from the feeling of the breath to the topic of consideration. When we notice our mind has wandered, we gently pivot back to the contemplation. Contemplation practice can be an interesting way to explore our mind. My teacher likens it to scuba diving. We put on our wetsuit, flippers and goggles and dive down into the ocean that is a specific topic and we notice what arises.
