Meditation Questions: Q1: What to do about distractions, like noise?

March 30, 2011   |   2 Comments

I’ve really enjoyed making and sending these emails and videos about meditation. It is so inspiring to see and hear about people’s heart-opening experiences. No matter how many times I see the effects of meditation practice, I’m still so blown away by this truth: If we open our hearts, we can change the world.

Some of you have been good enough to send me questions via email, which I really appreciate. I don’t want you to feel alone with your practice out there! I’ve selected a few questions to answer via this newsletter.

Check out these videos. In the first one, I’m just basically saying hi and thanks for your various questions and in the second video, I answer the first question: “How do I cope with distractions (like noise) during my practice?

On Friday, question #2: How do I actually succeed in making meditation a regular habit? Some days I practice and some days I don’t and then I feel bad. What to do?

Next week, question #3: How do I deal with strong emotions that may arise during practice? Should I try to ignore them or make them go away? If so, how? This email will also contain a 15-minute guided meditation practice.

What’s your question?! Shoot me an email. I’ll try to answer it.

And if you know people who want to sign up for The Open Heart Project and receive regular emails about meditation, they can do so here!
