These days when I
meditate, a lot of the time I’ll listen to something…like rain, or a train, or
wind chimes…I use an app that lets you pick what you want to listen to…it could
be sounds of a city, or the wind blowing…whatever you find relaxing…I find it
can help you to get into a more relaxed state…faster than just sitting in
silence for most folks…and sometimes I’ll lay down in bed while doing so…and if
I fall asleep so be it…that’s just my body telling me I need to rest…the
important thing is to calm the mind.
