Thread: I need some suggestions

mind if i jump on this post cus im having the same problem. when u guys say clear your mind, do you mean clear it like an empty white room?
thanks.

(when i try counting i always fall a sleep lol)

I know what Rahim is talking about, and I think I can help explain a little. This is just a method you should consider if you can't master meditation, or, like myself, don't have the time to.

When you are attempting your WILD don't try to actively erase all thoughts from your mind. Just be a passive observer. Let your thoughts flow freely, but keep yourself from taking part in them.

If you take an active role in your thought process it's much more difficult to fall asleep in general, let alone WILD.

Anywho, keep at it. I'm sure you two will have your first WILD eventually. It's just a matter of practice, seeing what works for you, and figuring out what doesn't.

I think i understand. So it's like let your thoughts pop up in your head but don't notice or take part in elaborating those thoughts. My mind would sometimes jump subjects and think a lot. So what i should do is just be aware of those thoughts but don't pay attention to them right?

ooo i see thanks. some times id find my self thinking about water drops or something crazy and id be like howed id get there

Yes, that's the basic idea.

I would suggest simple but powerful meditiation technique. This will train your mind and you will hopefully notice that your problem fades out. Do it 20min every evening before bed.
- Sit comfortably - preferably in half lotos ( you put a small pillow under one of your bottom cheek to make it easier ) as this position enables better concentration. Keep stable straight posiotion but at the same time be relaxed with no tension.
- Close your eyes and focus on where you are at that time. Anything else from the past or future is not important. Be grounded and pay attention to your lower body how you sit. Sense it.
- The main task is to notice your thoughts at the very beginning and kill them immediately. When you realise that your mind has gone astray come back to previous point. Try to keep your mind perfectly clear as long as you can.

Hope this will help.
