For many of us, sometimes, meditation seems like a wrestling match with our thoughts. Who is in charge anyway? Do we control thoughts or do they control us? Is there any respite from the chattering mind? In this remarkable 'one take' conversation, John Butler addresses this question head on and, without violence, puts thoughts in their place with - the 'couldn't care less' attitude towards them.
