It's easy to sit and watch a movie or a football game for 45 minutes, but it's not quite the same when we're meditating. Ajahn Brahm teaches us how to stay in the present moment and have a powerful meditation. Ajahn explains how to keep our awareness in the "center of screen", and how to "open the lotus flower" with kindness.
