Empty your mind意思

"Empty your mind" is a phrase often used in meditation and mindfulness practices. It means to clear your thoughts, let go of all the mental chatter, and simply be present in the moment without any judgment or attachment to past or future. The goal is to achieve a state of calmness and clarity by focusing on your breath or a particular object of meditation, such as a candle flame or a koan (a paradoxical statement or story) in Zen Buddhism. This practice is believed to help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and improve overall well-being.
