Inner Cave Of Peace (Tolerating Distraction)

This track is a guided meditation which intentionally includes background noise for distraction so that you can practice focus and redirecting your attention. I, also, make some noise in the meditation such as clearing my throat to produce distraction. The goal is to redirect your attention back to my voice and the imagery of an inner cave of peace. Distraction is everywhere in life and redirecting attention and building focus are skills that sometimes do require practice to maintain. Sometimes we are unable to get away from noise and distraction and this meditation is also about using an inner cave of peace inside you to help you tolerate it.
