"My intention here and now is to persevere and to successfully be able to meditate without the conversation going on inside my head that it’s so hard to do. Along with that I intend to discover resistance I am holding that is in the way of me acheiving my desires and to then eradicate that resistance."

When it comes to acheiving your desires, especially when they are big desires like a change of lifestyle, making a living by doing what brings you the most joy etc… I feel it is imperative to look inside yourself to find where you may have resistance to actually manifesting these desires.

It is your core beliefs that hinder or help in your journey to fulfilment and success, so from that I deduce that it is necessary to come from a place of feeling and being rather than from a place of thinking and doing. The best way it seems to acheive this and thus turning down the volume of your minds voice, which may be telling you all sorts of limiting untruths about yourself, is to meditate.

I have real trouble meditating. I just can’t switch off random and habitual thoughts. It’s as if my mind is fighting tooth and nail not to be silenced. In fact I’m sure that it is. In fact, what happens often is that as soon as I attempt to meditate I can’t stop yawning, or itching or I’ll sneeze.
