I do like to meditate – but often doze off!

In reply to Samuel. Yes, that feeling has stopped me so many times! But allowing it to stop yourself is only a mistake. Keep trying, Samuel!

I definitely got to try this again. I have been trying to meditate for a while but I always give up because I start to think that I am not doing this right, just as you had said.

In reply to JimBowman1022. Thanks for your kind words, Jim. I think that finally understanding meditation was SIMPLE was the big reason I became motivated to do it every day.

In reply to Michaela Ghersi. Interesting that you're a journalist. Journalism tends to focus on conflicts and problems. I can see why meditating would be very helpful for you. Wish I'd done it back when I worked in daily newspapers...

Daphne. Greetings from Mexico City.
I have practiced meditation on and off almost 17 years. I really find very helpful to use a mantra to focus on. I learnt to acknowledge the fact that I am paying attention to my thoughts and, as soon as I realize they are there I repeat to myself: “there is a thought”, and focus again on the mantra.
