Yeah, I know. I tried doing it without my MP3 player, but since I'm ADHD I can't concentrate on anything. With the music I found that I could concentrate on one part of the music. Like the violins or something like that. It really helped me out to be able to concentrate. Also, after using the music for about 3 months I am starting to try and not use them as much, but there are different CD's for different effects. One can be for deep meditation and another can be for deep sleep or even awakening your mind to learning. I like the variety that the CD's give me.

I would suggest that you investigate mantras then. Just a simple fixed chant that you repeat over and over and over, get yourself a string of beads 108 to be precise and with each chant move along a bead so that you know when you have done the 108 and come to the end of the beads, these two combined will help calm your mind and your body and than before long you will be able to find peace in your mantas.

So many confuse meditation with visualisation, the two are very different, meditation is stilling the mind and thinking quite literally of nothingness, visualistaion helps us to visit situations, meet guides and sort problems or empower our lives with manifestations.

I take a candle and light it then close my eyes and relax each part of my body, when I am completly relaxed I open my eyes and concentrate on the flame, letting thoughts drift through my mind I have not been doing this for very long but it seems to work for me,each time I find myself relaxing deeper.

With reference to not having to be alone or with closed eyes in order to meditate. I use a meditation screen saver at work to meditate during lunch and tea break,it refreshes the mind and soul.

Anybody who would like it can ask.

What are the names of the cd's that help with meditation. So far I have taken a class, read some books, held crystals in my hands while breathing counting my breaths and still can't get to where I need to be. Thanks for any suggestions that worked for you.

HELLO SWETHA,

MEDITATION CAN BE EASY OR COMPLEX. ALL DEPENDS ON US AND OUR PSYCHE.
THE MOST EASIEST IS TO SIT OR LIE DOWN IN A DARK QUIET ROOM AND BREATHE COMFORTABLY, TAKING SLOW BUT DEEP AND COMFORTABLE BREATHS, FEELING THE COOL AIR GOING DEEP INTO YOUR BELLY AS YOU INHALE AND WARM USED AIR LEAVING YOUR BODY AS YOU EXHALE. THOUGHTS MAY COME IN A BIG WAY. BUT TRY CONCENTRATING ON YOUR OWN COOL DEEP AND COMFORTABLE BREATH.
SLOWLY LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF YOUR OWN BREATH. THE SOUND OF "SO" AS YOU INHALE AND "HAAM" AS YOU EXHALE.
FEEL THE BREATH CARRYING THE LIFE GIVING PRAANA ENTERING EACH AND EVERY CELL OF YOUR BODY AS YOU INHALE. FEEL THE NEGATIVITIES LEAVING YOUR BODY WITH EACH EXHALATION.
PLEASE PRACTICE EVERY DAY FOR A PERIOD OF ATLEAST 10 MINUTES. SLOWLY WHEN YOU FIND, OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, YOUR MIND STILLING YOU CAN GO FOR OTHER COMPLEX METHODS OF MEDITATION.
THE ABOVE TECHINIQUE IS ONE OF THE BEST BECAUSE IT IS VERY SIMPLE FOR ANY ONE TO PRACTICE FOR LIFE.
BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THAT MEDITATION, LIKE FOOD, HAS TO BE INDULGED IN, EVERYDAY, FOR BEST RESULTS.
