trouble meditating

[supreme13]

I started meditating about a month and a half ago. My meditation had been going great and for the last few days I noticed I have not been able to relax for some reason. I was able to focus on my breath without having to force it but now i am having trouble with that and I am to force it again. Now I feel as if I am starting my meditation all over again from day 1! Please Help!

Hi supreme13 and welcome to the community

here's a link to some excellent information that has helped many people here:-

Principles of Meditation & Entrainment

It is rather lengthy but well worth reading. Hope this helps and wish you much peace and joy

Dont worry, meditation isnt always the same. If you feel you have to start from day 1, just accept it. I feel this way several times a year... lol

You may also want to consider downloading the free Discover Meditation cd's from this site, and practice using mantra based meditation instead of breathing meditation.

I just head one of those discoverys, where i might start from scratch... LOL

I was used to repeat my mantra in my breathing in and breathing out. I switched now to OM only on my breathing out, and it changed my meditation completly, as im breathing more slow and the mantra is way longer. Fits perfect to this topic
