<p>Our mind is like a snow globe. The more we shake it, the more the snow swirl around. But if we put it down and let it just be as it is, the snow falls to the ground. It's the same way with our thoughts. When we try to silence the mind we are shaking our mental snow globe which will just make the thoughts swirl even more. Instead, simply let the thoughts come and go and just watch them. It's not a problem. Let them take care of themselves, and come back to the breath.</p>
