Tip For Those Struggling With "Do-Nothing" Meditation

[kieranperez]

One of my initial struggling points in the do nothing meditation was dropping my intention/need to control my thoughts which Leo talks about in his video where he introduces this meditation. 

For those who struggle with (this) meditation in that you have a hard time dropping your need to control your thoughts and your mind I think it might be helpful to share a tip that I learned that has really helped me with my meditation practice:
 

I remind myself of how I never had control over my mind, thoughts, or my life in the first place... 

Basically I'm reminding myself of how there is no free will. Now, maybe this is something you need to experience and become aware of in order for that tip to help you but I feel like this could really help relax this neurotic need to control which is to realize you never had any control to begin with. For me, this keeps me open and actually curious to experience and learn the mechanics behind this matter of there being no free will.

Hope this helps!
