Frustrating Thoughts During Meditation Time




QUESTION: I try to meditate but I cannot seem to stop thoughts popping into my head and it is so frustrating! How can I clear my mind please? Can anyone tell me how to meditate properly pLease? Xx

HTRYV ANSWER: It will take PRACTICE in order to finally get to a place of stillness in your thoughts. At first don't fight them....just let them be there. The ego puts up a big fuss in the beginning because it knows if you keep meditating you will start to tap into your inner/soul wisdom that has been distorted due to ego interference....when you tap into the knowingness of your soul, you will stop listening to the egos demands. Give yourself about 30 days of continued practice. Just 10-15 minutes a day everyday. Some days the mind chatter will be more active than others, don't judge it, just accept it as part of the process that is being brought into balance. Also do slow deep breathing for 5 minutes at the beginning of the meditation and perhaps even get earphones and a potable cd player and listen to spiritual music for meditation (hemi sync or brainwave cd's are great!) or even a guided cd (Ribbon Breath Meditation) to help you get started. Good for you for even attempting meditation....many people don't even get that far....if it were easy we would all be meditating and following the inner guidance of our soul, but the ego is powerful, and will require effort to refine and bring under control.

Monkey Mind










The best time to hear guidance from your God Self is when the mind is silent. With practice in meditation you will eventually reach a place where you hear clear unadulterated guidance from SPIRIT. Please be patient with yourself while you are training your mind to be still ~ it will require patience, faith and perseverance to reach this place.

Right before you wake up in the morning and right before you go to bed at night is another wonderful time for you to pay attention to the subtle messages you receive. Your brainwaves are slower at this time creating less mind chatter. Pay attention! SPIRIT is always speaking to us, we just need to listen ~ in our quite moments ~ without the pollution and interference of the egoic monkey mind.
