" Some say the point of meditation is to get an empty mind and to not think about anything. I'd say that is pretty much impossible and sounds like an attempt to replace the escapism of not being present with another one: getting rid of thinking and feeling. For me, personally, meditation has been a powerful training in not escaping from the present moment. "
