每日背诵第三期41
Meditation has little to do with escaping problems or thinking about nothing. Instead, the breathing techniques help you calm down and think more clearly about your feelings. The issues on your mind unfold clearly, as if they were in slow motion. This clarity is called "mindfulness”. Being mindful means that you are aware of what you are thinking without becoming caught up in your thoughts. It takes practice, but with time, that big test will not scare you anymore. You will realize through meditation that fear is just a product of not being mindful.
冥想并不是逃避问题或什么都不想。相反的，掌握呼吸的技巧能帮助你平静下来，让你更清楚地思考自己的感觉。你的心结就像是慢动作似的在你的面前清晰地展开。这种清晰就叫领悟。领悟的意思是你知道你心里所想但不为杂念缠绕。冥想需要练习，不过随着时间的推移，你就不会再畏惧考试了。学会了冥想，你会了解恐惧只是没有集中精神的结果。
