Shamatha

Shamatha is a meditation practice focused on calming and stabilizing the mind by developing deep concentration. It involves calmly bringing attention to a single object, such as the breath, a sensation, or a visual aid, and gently guiding the mind back whenever it wanders. The goal is to cultivate pure, unwavering awareness, reducing mental distractions and emotional turmoil. Over time, Shamatha enhances mental clarity, patience, and peace, creating a smooth foundation for more advanced meditation practices and deeper understanding of the mind.
