Distractedness
When we are distracted, our mind wanders and we lack awareness and insight. With the techniques of meditation, we can change that.
Modes of Meditation
There are three types of meditation: Focused attention – concentrating on a word or activity such as breathing. Open Monitoring – Observing our thoughts without judging. Self – Transcendence – experiencing pure consciousness.
Mindfulness
To overcome distractedness, we can realize mindfulness. Mindfulness is moment-to-moment awareness without judgement.
