Wonderful reminder quote from Stephan Bodian’s “Wake Up Now”, pg. 85:

“Instead of focusing the light of your awareness like a laser on a particular object or activity, you open it like the sky, welcoming the experiences that arise just as the sky welcomes the clouds, neither ignoring or indulging them. Instead of concentrating, you relax and let go, allowing everything to be just as it is, without any attempt to control on your part. …Any effort is an indication that your mind has intervened.”
