> I taught this class today on Saturday, the 29th of April on The Meditation Course because I was contacted by yet another person who told me that they can't meditate because they can't stay focused on their breath.

**It is a common misconception that meditation is an attempt to stay focused on the breath** and a successful meditation is one where we remain focused on the breath instead of losing our attention and mind wandering.

In this class, I explain the mechanism behind all the benefits of meditation, which is called *The Moment of Recognition*, and is actually what happens when our mind wanders.

Blessings🙏🙏🙏

PS, apologies for the delay in getting a podcast published. I've been really busy with retreats and courses and classes.
