[narrator] This is the traditional form
of "mindfulness meditation," one step on the eightfold path

to the divine or to empty your mind, it’s to pay attention. [Saranapala] "Sati" means "attention."
"Upa" means "inside." And "thana" means "to keep." Satipatthana simply means "to keep your attention inside." [Davidson] Most of the time, most people actually don't know
what their minds are doing
