How do you meditate if your mind cant relax for an instant?!
Question:
How do you meditate if your mind cant relax for an instant?
When I try to meditate my mind cannot relax and keeps thinking, I cannot just relax for a second. Any suggestions?
Answers:
Try focusing on something specific. The Hindus have a word, or utterance, called the Om. They chant it and think about it and focus on it. It's the breath and the heartbeat of everything. Siddartha by Hesse is a good explaination of this kind of thought. Its short and a good read. Give it a try.
