Dear Wisdom:

It is the hardest state in meditating, to quiet the thinking brain. The idea behind meditating is to focus on a sense: focusing on the sounds you hear, or a sight you see, or the feel of something you touch… or a taste or a smell, any of the five senses. In guided meditation, mostly the first two or three. While you focus on sounds, for example, for a short time while you focus, you stop thinking. But soon enough you will think again and when that happens (and it will surely happen), you gently bring your focus, your attention back to the sounds. This way you give the part of your brain that thinks and feels a break, a rest. What a welcome rest it often is!

Did you ever listen to guided meditation, focusing on sounds? There may be something online…

Till later, very good corresponding with you today!
