Creating a Meditation Habit.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
I am truly enjoying the mediation with my family. Thanks. My question is what are the steps needed to make positive changes in my life? My mind wanders very easily when mediating. So I usually give up trying after the second week. Are there people like me that are not able to quiet their minds? I have so much turmoil in my life mostly my mind I really want to make positive changes by mediation. Thanks
Response:
Research has shown that for a positive new habit to take root requires 3 weeks of daily practice. Don’t let self-judgment get you off track. It is natural for the mind to wander during meditation. That indicates that an inward phase of meditation is complete, and the mind is on the active, surface level. Now it is ready to return one’s attention back to the breath or mantra. Even if the mind begins to wander again, or even if it does so for minutes at a time, that is still fine. This is what your consciousness needs right now to clear the path for deeper experience later. Whenever you notice your attention has drifted away from the practice, bring it back gently.
Love,
Deepak
