What to do with thoughts that disturb us during our meditation?
It is quite natural for our minds to flit away due to thoughts.
When we start practicing heartfulness meditation,
This is a transitory stage of meditation.
With practice,
We realize that we get better at finding inner tranquility.
One way to deal with thoughts is to treat them as if they are someone else's thoughts and thus create a distance between ourselves and these thoughts.
Haven't we all experienced a time when someone kept bothering us no matter how much we asked them to leave us alone?
We may have even tried telling them to stop doing so and notice that they would react and argue.
Our only find further reason to bother us even more.
And then we perhaps discovered that ignoring them was the best manner to deal with them.
They soon got the message,
Finally gave up and left us alone.
Well that works with thoughts as well.
If we pay any attention to them,
We get involved with them and cannot get rid of them.
The trick is to gently detach our mind,
Ignore the thoughts and bring back the focus to the original idea we began our meditation with,
That of light within the heart.
God bless.
