What should I think about while meditating?
One common misconception about meditating is that it's supposed to clear your mind of any thoughts. Meditation is really all about seeing your mind, viewing your mind, and observing your thoughts. So you don't necessarily have to clear your mind right away. Obviously, the goal is to have fewer thoughts and find a space between the thoughts. When you're just starting out, you just have to observe your thoughts as if you're watching a movie.
