The mind that goes a hundred miles per minute

I often hear about people struggling in their meditation because of their “never ending thoughts” or “mind that won’t stop racing”. In my many years of experience with meditating and few of being a facilitator, this is normal and a crucial step in the breakthrough of your practice. Our major goal is to not stop yourself from thinking, but it’s to become an observer of those thoughts or images and all of that comes with it. To separate from the attachment that you hold in regards to your physical body, thoughts, and etc. and allowing yourself to surrender to the greater experience. If you find yourself having a lot of fogginess or thoughts going, resistance or blockages you may want to focus on clearing your channel and third-eye with my simple “going home meditation” — a simple meditation technique that allows you to retreat home within yourself. In that space of observing and breathing, you create space so you can just be, you can observe, and let come forward what needs to come forward, process what needs to be processed without adding any extra journeying. If you want to journey and have deeper and greater experiences, you have to work on becoming a clearer channel so that you can surrender to the experience and reach cosmic consciousness. Therefore, before being able to surrender and reach cosmic consciousness, to be in the eternal now or to travel to the upper world or lower world and have those different types of in and out of the body experiences, you have to practice on becoming a clear channel and that is done only by creating space and making space for yourself. As a whole. Including your shadow. Then the more you make and create space for yourself to be, the less your ego, thoughts, emotions, and old unseen wounds try to come out in different distorted ways. 

Have compassion for yourself and remind yourself that meditation is a practice and to my strong belief the best investment you can make in yourself.
