Shamatha Focused on the Mind | Guided meditation

This shamatha practice-a meditation for attentional training-uses the mind itself as the object of concentration. Frequently used in the Mahamudra and Dzogchen systems of practice, it brings multiple benefits, including giving us a deeper understanding of what the "mind" actually is, helping us cultivate control over the mind, and skillfully using random thoughts (which would normally serve as a distraction) as the object of focus itself.
