My mind too! Whenever I try meditation all I can think about is how I’m not feeling at all like those images of people meditating look ![]()
I’ve found walking meditation is helpful. The physical movement gives me something to attend to, and helps me stay in my body (where I can feel grounded, even if it’s off and on) as opposed to sitting meditation, which is all in my head (and therefore like herding cats).
Is there a problem with me? I don’t think so. I have to believe it’s possible to be mindful and meditative while having a “roomful of cats” brain. Millions of people do, around the world, and it has to be possible for them, so it must be possible for me, right?
I use Insight Timer & I’ve found the meditations helpful:
