How to Meditate with a Busy Mind
Manage episode 428752507 series 3586149
"I Just Can't Meditate" - Every New Meditator
Have you ever said âI just canât meditate, my mind wonât stopâ?
Donât worry Iâve got your back, so many of my clients have said this to me, when I set them homework of meditating every day. The look of fear on their face is priceless, like I have asked them to give me their first born child. Donât worry I will never ask for your first born child, I have two teenagers and my hands are already full, with as much teenage attitude as I can take. You lay down, close your eyes and all of a sudden your mind is racing with thoughts like:
- I havenât done the washingâŚ
- the ironing piling up on the back of the couch,
- Hang on a second, did I leave the stove on, oh no itâs okay I havenât cooked dinner yetâŚ
- Oh man I really should be cooking dinner, instead of lying here trying to meditate,
- Geez I am so bad at this meditating thing, I canât even stop thinking.
