A Practical Guide to Mindfulness (Tessa Watt) / quote 6 of 9

Bring the mind back a hundred times

If your mind wanders from the breath a hundred times, just bring it back a hundred times. See if you can escort your awareness back to the breath with kindness and good humour. This is the practice: not keeping the mind fixed in one place, but bringing the mind back, over and over. Use the breath as an anchor to bring you back to here and now, to this moment.
