Ajahn Brahm describes how our mind becomes peaceful during meditation, starting from the sense of your body disappearing, to delightful breath and to experiencing a bright light in your mind (Nimitta). Ajahn also reminds us that peace is not something we do but rather something that happens as we let go.

Our mind is like a powerful emperor fully concealed in 5 pieces of clothing, says Ajahn Brahm. Only way to find out who the emperor is, is by removing the clothing one by one. Similarly we can find out about our powerful mind through meditation, turning off our five senses one by one. Ajahn Brahm tells us about the nature of the mind, how powerful the mind can be, how it can bring happiness and health.
