When we begin to meditate, the thoughts that arise are signs of activity within the mind. They don't come from anywhere other than the mind.

The object is to calm the mind to the point where thoughts no longer arise.

During a meditation session we need to be mindful of distractions -even the thoughts which seem important to us - and return to the breath again.

Always return to the breath and recognise the activity of the mind as distraction.
