00:00Welcome to the Stories Desk channel.
00:02In a small village nestled between mountains, there lived a wise woman named Lena.
00:08She was known for her tranquility and clarity of mind,
00:12which she had cultivated over many years of meditation and reflection.
00:17One day, a young man named Theo came to her,
00:21troubled by the constant flood of thoughts that consumed him.
00:24I can't find peace, he said.
00:27My mind is always racing.
00:30Lena smiled and asked Theo to follow her to a nearby stream.
00:34As they stood by, the water,
00:36Lena dipped her hands into the stream and stirred the water violently.
00:41Look, she said.
00:43The water is murky.
00:45You can barely see the bottom.
00:47Then she waited for the water to settle.
00:49Slowly, it became clear again.
00:52This is how our minds work, she explained.
00:55When we let our thoughts run wild, they cloud our judgment and peace.
01:00Then Lena gave another example.
01:02Imagine you are trying to catch a butterfly.
01:05If you run after it forcefully, what will happen?
01:08The butterfly will fly away even faster, and you won't be able to catch it.
01:14Our thoughts are exactly like butterflies.
01:17If we chase after them, trying to stop them, they will run even faster.
01:21She continued.
01:23The way to still them is to sit in a quiet place.
01:27Close your eyes.
01:29Now focus on your breath.
01:31Feel the air as you breathe in and as you breathe out.
01:35In the beginning, many thoughts will come into your mind.
01:39It's just like many butterflies flying around you, but you don't have to try to catch them.
01:45Just watch them.
01:46When a thought comes, let it come.
01:49Don't grab it.
01:50Don't think about it.
01:51Just watch it come and go.
01:54Just like you watch a butterfly fly in and then fly away.
01:58Gradually, as you do this repeatedly, the thoughts in your mind will decrease.
02:03It's just like the butterflies slowly going away, and you are sitting in a peaceful place.
02:10Lina concluded.
02:12Controlling our thoughts is not about suppressing them, but about guiding them.
02:17Just as the water clears when it is still, our minds can find clarity when we choose focus over chaos.
02:24And just as a butterfly comes on its own when you stand still, by practicing, you will learn to still your thoughts.
02:32You will realize that you can quiet your mind whenever you want.
02:37The key to a balanced life is not to fight your thoughts, but to tame them.
02:42Theo understood them.
02:44He realized that by consciously directing his thoughts, he could gain control over his mind, creating space for peace and wisdom.
02:53In time, he learned to recognize the power of stillness, knowing that peace came not from the absence of thought, but from mastering them.
03:02And so, Theo found his inner peace, just as Lina had.
03:06Now, let's go to increase the vocabulary.
03:11Meditation.
03:12Meditation is a mental practice where an individual focuses their mind to achieve a state of deep peace, awareness, or relaxation.
03:22It often involves controlled breathing, mindfulness, or visualization techniques to calm thoughts and reduce stress.
03:32Example.
03:34Every morning, she practiced meditation to clear her mind before starting the day.
03:40Tranquility.
03:42Tranquility refers to a state of peacefulness, stillness, and freedom from disturbance.
03:47It describes environments or moods that are calm, quiet, and soothing.
03:54Example.
03:55The forest at dawn exuded tranquility, with only the sound of rustling leaves breaking the silence.
04:02Murky.
04:03Murky describes something that is dark, cloudy, or unclear, often due to dirt, fog, or sediment.
04:10It can refer to literal obscurity, like muddy water, or metaphorical ambiguity, like unclear motives.
04:20Example.
04:21The river turned murky, after the heavy rain, making it impossible to see the bottom.
04:27Stirred.
04:28Stirred means to cause movement, agitation, or emotion.
04:33It can describe physical motion, like stirring a liquid, or emotional reactions, like being stirred by a speech.
04:42Example.
04:44The sudden gust of wind stirred the fallen leaves into a swirling whirlwind.
