Guided Meditation

While many people meditate on public transportation, or in their offices at lunchtime, and in public parks, it’s helpful to find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Using the same place each time triggers your association of that place with the potential to settle into your meditation. With all of that said, feel free to experiment with what works best for you and come to your own decision on an optimal meditation location.

This is a very common experience in the meditative process, and there is no need to get rid of thoughts; this is not the purpose of meditation. Instead, we are learning to recognize when thinking is happening, so we don't get lost in the trance of believing that those thoughts are our actual reality. A couple of techniques to steady your attention is to respond to thoughts with friendliness and acceptance, and remembering that by after being physically still for a while, your mind will gradually calm down.
