    I would like to practice meditation but i find it difficult cause perhaps i get distracted very easily. How do people meditate? What do they think of when you close your eyes and “free” the mind? Also for how long?

    I have a hard time with this myself. Finding myself very easily distracted. As I’m just starting myself I downloaded a couple of guided meditation apps that literally walk you through the entire process, telling you what to focus on and basically preventing you from becoming distracted. I’m pretty sure it just takes time if you’ve never done it. 🙂 I’m finding that just a few minutes on the apps once a day is beneficial so I’m excited to see the long term benefits once I’m used to focusing!

    I hope that helps!

    Thanks Tami. I downloaded a meditation app “Breathe”. Did the first 8 minutes of beginner meditation.

    Dear janssen:

    Guided meditations are the way to start on your own. Over time, you can learn Mindfulness, which is about paying attention to what is around you and what is inside you as you sit, stand, walk, work and do everything you do..

    I am learning, through my practice, that it is normal to be distracted during meditation and that being aware of this is part of the process.
