You know, it’s funny when it comes to meditation, if you carry all these outside expectations, trying to!hit some goal or “achieve” something, it totally blocks your natural flow! And hey, your unique way of connecting with the universe might not look like sitting cross legged on a cushion maybe it’s through singing your heart out, doodling in a sketchbook, wandering along a trail, or whatever just brings you that quiet joy, you know?
You’ll know you’ve been meditating when suddenly you “come to” and realize time just… slipped by, and you weren’t even watching the clock! So honestly, maybe start by finding that one passionate hobby you love, the thing that makes you lose track of everything, and just lean into that. If you’re super caught up on getting the “standard” results everyone else talks about, try sitting in a dark room with two fans set them at different speeds, so your brain has these two different frequencies to focus on, and then gently try to bring those two sounds together into one fan’s hum. And seriously, remember to relax don’t force it, just let it happen, like a soft breeze!
Oh, and other folks have mentioned some books that could help guide you along the way. There’s one called Who Am I, I Am Who it’s helped a bunch of people uncover those sneaky blockages and find a neutral, peaceful space inside so it’s easier to connect with your passions and slip into meditation without a struggle. It’s really made a difference for so many!
