Hi Jancydat

I wouldn’t meditate with anyone else because I would feel too self concious. However, that’s my personal preference. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with meditating with others. In fact, many years ago I learnt transcendental meditation in a class of 12 or so.

With regard to your “noise” problem that’s normal. When you notice your mind is chattering just slowly return to what you should be focussing on eg breathing, visualization or mantra.

Don’t concern yourself with how many times you notice the noise during a meditation session. It doesn’t matter. Just slowly and gently bring your focus back.

Apart from feeling relaxed, meditation brings long term rather than short term changes. If you keep meditating for at least 20 minutes a day over time you will notice changes. Things that concern you now will have lost their hold over you or perhaps you’ll notice you are more patient.

Anyway, hope that helps.

Sharon

Hello Shazsays! I love your name. I feel your affirmations. I would like to get some input re. meditations. I cannot seem to settle down and meditate. I ALWAYS have noise on. Maybe that’s my problem. Also, can you meditate with someone or is that a conflict?
