These Distracting Thoughts Could Derail a Successful Meditation Practice

February 15, 2019 //  by Geoff

 

Some people find it difficult to meditate because they quickly get distracted. The key is to identify what things distract you so that you can let go of them and focus on meditation. These are among the common meditation distractions you need to acknowledge to help you improve your meditation skills.

Recent thoughts

Before you enter the meditation room, you might have listened to a song or watched a YouTube clip. It sticks in your brain until you start meditation. The mind needs a few minutes to let go of this thought before you can jump to another. Before you enter the room, you need to rest for a while and prepare yourself to meditate.

You quickly follow random thoughts

As you start to meditate, a thought pops into your mind. Before you know it, you cannot stop thinking about that thought and move away from meditation. The good thing is you can take part in guided meditation. You will have a teacher telling you what to think about as you meditate. Listen to the voice of your teacher and focus on every word.

Itchy parts of your body

Do you wonder why each time you are alone or in a quiet place, your body starts to itch? You do not feel them while you are doing anything else. Learn how to ignore the itch and not dare scratch it. Eventually, it will go away, and you can continue meditation.

Physical pain

You feel pain for various reasons. It could be due to your session at the gym. You also practised for a sporting event before you began to meditate. Since you are alone and in a quiet environment, you will start feeling physical pain. Do not fight it. Instead, you need to feel the pain and be aware that it exists. Focus on your breathing, and you will eventually realise that your pain starts going away. It does not mean that you are well, but sometimes, you can fight the pain off by focusing your attention on other things.

Sexual fantasies

You usually think about these naughty thoughts when you are alone. When you meditate, even if you are with other people in the room, you will only mind your own business. Therefore, it is easy to feel tempted to divert your attention to sexual fantasies. Learn how to fight the urge to think about these things. Again, you need to be aware of your breathing and listen attentively to what your teacher is saying.

Dozing off

The reason why several people fall asleep when meditating is that they allow themselves to feel unconscious. Meditation is the complete opposite of napping. When you want to sleep, you forget all your thoughts and relax. When you meditate, you become aware of everything around you, including your body. There is a conscious effort to draw a picture in your mind, and it helps to avoid falling asleep.

You will eventually learn how to stop yourself from sleeping. You can even be a meditation teacher someday by sharing your meditation techniques with those who wish to learn. You can study the best meditation business ideas and open a meditation class too.
