Is it just me or is meditating something that is darn near next to impossible. Meditation experts say that it is important to pay attention to your breathing. When I do so, I find that suddenly, I don't know how to breathe very well...let's see inhale--pause--did I pause long enough?--OK I'm getting lightheaded, time to exhale--exhale--oh geez how do you know when you have exhaled long enough--wait I need air NOW--inhale down to my stomach, wow that's not very comfortable is it?--pause, ummm OK that's long enough--exhale--crap, do I exhale through my nose or my mouth--nose it is, I don't like exhaling through my mouth even though it might be wrong--I should look that up---ummm pause then inhale or is that inhale and then pause---ARRGH.
Despite my difficulties, I will continue my meditation moments daily (I have lots of time on my hands) and hopefully will become more comfortable with it. I want to listen to that "silence within" that Wayne Dyer is so fond of speaking about. My question is, however, "If you listen to the silence, is it really silent" .
Think about it. But not too hard.
