Are you struggling during meditation? Trying to calm your mind and it just isn’t working? Feel like the harder you try the less it works?

This is super frustrating! And pretty normal… I’ve been experiencing this with this in my own practice lately.

The trick with this one is to start with your intention firmly in place, “I intend to quiet my mind.” and then once you start meditating to drop your expectation and just to notice what is happening… notice what ever you mind is doing as you meditate.

Remember that if you’re busy thinking that you want to stop thinking… that you’re actually creating more thought! And what ever your intention is, the magic happens when you take the time to notice whatever is happening and just accept it with out trying to change it. If you let it, it will change on it’s own.

Try it and see how it goes. Feel free to comment below with your experiences or questions.
