Thinking like Lao Tzu

I tried today to relax and empty my mind. But I couldn't do it. I tried to make my mind blank. But I just couldn't do it. It was so hard. Meditating is hard.

In my yoga class, there's a meditation period after the session. And I can usually come close to emptying my mind. Mostly because I'm so tired and the music is very soothing.

Maybe music helps. But then again, that's not really emptying your mind because your mind is responding to the notes of the music.

Emptiness is certainly hard to achieve. Perhaps even impossible.
