Why Is It So Hard To Meditate | Some Of The Common Reasons
Why is it so hard to meditate? What is the best way to meditate easily?
Hello and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and today would like to share with you why some people find it hard to meditate and I will also offer some scientific support as to the power of meditation. We will also discuss some of the common reasons why we find it hard to meditate.
Meditation is an ancient tradition that is practiced in cultures all over the world to create a sense of calm and inner harmony. Although the practice has ties to many different religious teachings, meditation is less about faith and more about altering consciousness, finding awareness, and achieving peace.
Meditation can certainly be challenging, and even more so if we are uncertain as to why we are doing it. It can seem very odd to sit there just listening to the incessant chatter in our head, and we easily get bored if we do nothing for too long, even if it’s only 10 minutes.
Every facet, every department of your mind, is to be programmed by you. And unless you assume your rightful responsibility, and begin to program your own mind, the world will program it for you. This applies to any form of meditation, no matter what the purpose or method.
After years of hearing a plethora of reasons why people find it hard to meditate, here some common reasons:
I work for 10 hours in a high pressure job barring the time lost in traffic and it is difficult to find the time to meditate.
Sitting still in one place with eyes closed for 10 minutes are you kidding me?
If i sit and meditate, I’ll be looked at as somebody from another planet. My friends would ask what's wrong with you.
My family thinks that if I meditate, i will become a recluse. I don't want to upset them
Once i close my eyes what am i supposed to do next what will happen in meditation
It’s always too noisy at home
When society is facing numerous challenges poverty conflict unemployment and corruption at this time you expect me to sit and meditate, when so much needs to be done.
Listen to the podcast till end to learn all the reasons in details and beside that I also offer some simple solutions to these apparently difficult situations. Over time, regular meditation will help change a lot of things; you might notice good things happening around you because you meditate!
