So I encourage you to meditate everyday first thing in the morning if you can would be best and just start with one and a half to three minutes and see if you can spend up to 5, or up to 10 or 15 minutes in the morning before you start your day. Remember goal meditation it is to not think, not plan and it is not daydreaming. When we daydream, we leave our bodies and our mind is tripped off to fantasy. When we are seated in a meditation we really want to be present, we really want to be awake to present moment to reality of what is going on. The reality is you are either breathing in or breathing out. It is really difficult. Part of meditation is disciplining the mind. Our mind has a really difficult time. You will find this when you sit in meditation, that the mind has a really difficult time just being still, just being here now. Your mind wants to be anywhere, but here right now. It wants to make plans for future, it wants to daydream, fantasize, reminisce, harp on things that happened in the past so when we sit in meditation we want to put things, thoughts about the future side, we want to put thoughts and thinking about the past aside and just be here at the present moment. Don’t get frustrated with yourself. And if you do have a thought that comes into your mind that is particularly enticing ask it to set aside itself for a moment I promise, I guarantee it will come back later in your day. Now when you sit to meditation we are just learning to discipline, train the mind this day present, discipline, to train the mind and just stayed focused on one thing which is simply the breath. And the more you meditate the easier it will become. You are never going to completely to stop your mind from thinking, but we just want to slow down the number of thoughts that we have and one of the most beneficial things you can find in meditation is when you quiet down that part of your mind is always thinking and always planning, always reminiscing about the past, it is always churning and moving but you can quiet that part of your mind. You can listen to the deeper more settle aspects of your mind. These aspects of your mind are quiet and are soft. They are not often heard. They are not heard unless you are quiet that part of your mind is always turning and moving and talking loudly and tends to say the same thing. It tends also to be focussed on fear, negativity and criticism. And we want to quiet that aspect of our mind so the other more settle, more positive aspects of our mind can begin to be heard a little more loudly.
