i have a hard time concentrating and emptying my mind. when i close my eyes and try to invision a large dumpter emypting my mind, songs pop in my head, or a lot of voices and its breaking my concentration to meditate. i tried not to listen to songs daily, but that still doesnt help. if only i could do that, then i would be fine
Watch the breath envision a light going up your spine as you inhale going out through the top (crown)going out to the energy of Love in the universe; and exhaling, bringing it down in a rain upon your Being. Count the breath, not so long as to make you feel out of breath - pause between inhale and exhale. (for healing you can send the energy to that which is being healed - but cleanse and wait till your thoughts are not taking you away - so practice practice practice first - then play your part within the orchestra of all). The thoughts (inner dialogue) - watch it - do not fight it, just watch it - no comment, no judgement, no comparison - as it ceases to get attention and interaction, it will disapate. And then the hardest part - Listen - just that again no judgement, no forcing; just letting go and listening - you need a mind pattern - count the breath and watch it - create your visualization - but eventually tune in to Listen - Be Still and Listen - Pay Attention and Act Namaste
