Two factors play a part in the way the mind operates – attention and intention. Both are conditioned, and both carry energy. Attention limits the span of awareness, intention defines the quality of it. A lot of the problems in meditation can be resolved through attention, intention and bringing the right kind of energy to them.

To meditate refers to placing the mind on a conducive object. There are functions that support meditation: vitakka –applied thoughtfulness/consideration; and, vicara – reflective evaluating, taking in the effects of what we apply ourselves to. Various applications of vitakka-vicara are reviewed, from the 5 indriya to mindfulness of body and breathing.
