Sharon Salzberg
The idea behind mindfulness seems simple—the practice takes patience. Indeed, renowned meditation teacher <anchor>Sharon Salzberg</anchor> recounts that her first experience with meditation showed her how quickly the mind gets caught up in other tasks. “I thought, okay, what will it be, like, 800 breaths before my mind starts to wander? And to my absolute amazement, it was one breath, and I’d be gone,” says Salzberg.
