Many people feel they cannot meditate when greeted by the initial cacophony of thoughts and feelings. This “noise” inside can be, for some, too much to bear.
Do not flee. Neither push away nor grab hold of these thoughts and feelings.
Continue to practice your meditation technique of choice–watching your breath, maybe using a mantra or an image….
Let your mind find the chinks in the activity–the soothing rhythm of the breath… the space between the inhales and exhales… the mind slowing…
This is the road to stillness we all traverse.
