When meditation seems impossible

You might feel that meditation seems impossible as you sit down to meditate. After a little while thoughts come up and they seem to disturb your effort. You call it a failure.

Popular myths about meditation have taught us that meditating well means sitting in silence with a quiet mind blank of thoughts as if they are switched off.

Truth is: The mind wanders, and it is supposed to do so. When you notice it wandering, you return.
The noticing part is the meditation.

After some practice meditation or relaxation feels a lot easier and enjoyable.

You are invited to give yourself permission to stop fighting with your thoughts
