Learning to meditate means accepting that our minds do not become silent the moment we sit and close our eyes. So if we can't clear the mind on demand, how can we ever relax? In this animation, Andy Puddicombe, co-founder of Headspace, compares the practice of meditation to sitting on the side of the road, with instructions to watch the traffic. How do we avoid getting caught up in the thoughts? It's a matter of perspective.
