The Healthy Minds Program aims to help individuals make friends with their mind, not fight against it, and not push away thoughts, even if they are restless.

“I think that that is possible uh and and the approach that we are taking in the healthy minds program for example is we're trying to do that. So there is a bit of discipline involved but it's kind of um really at at the most minimal. It's inviting people to uh to be where they are not and not and to really um make friends with their mind uh and not to fight against it. It's not about pushing away thoughts. It's not about um you know sitting down to meditate. If if you're restless and can't sit, that's fine. Do it”
