When you practice meditation, you learn how to go into the stillness of the mind. 
It will take an effort at the beginning because you will for sure hear your mind in action, your monkey mind telling you to stop but soon, you will become the observer of your thoughts and learn to experience stillness.

More you meditate, more you will become aware of your relationship, of your body, mind, emotions, the universe, it leads you to the awareness of awareness as said Deepak Chopra.

Ask these questions before entering meditation.

Who am I?

What do I want?

How can I help?

What I am grateful for?
