Calming meditation, or samatha, is practiced by focusing one’s attention on an object with the goal of quieting the mind. One of the most common forms of calming meditation is the practice of mindful awareness of one’s breath. Samatha, which translates from Sanskrit as “tranquility of the mind,” is practiced in many Buddhist and yoga traditions.

Make peace with silence, and remind yourself that it is in this space that you’ll come to remember your spirit. When you’re able to transcend an aversion to silence, you’ll also transcend many other miseries. And it is in this silence that the remembrance of God will be activated.1
