After that\u2019s the only thing that I\u2019m focusing on, I focus on my breathing, I start with deep breaths and then it turns into my regular breaths<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kartik F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Somedays it&#39;s a breeze and sometimes it&#39;s a chore.stop focusing on the result,just be present and still.all you have to do is nothing I mean just sit still n that&#39;s it.focus on your breath and the key is just showing up for the practice everyday it will graduate into a better feeling every next day.meditation isn&#39;t a goal orientated task.it is a process oriented task,the harder you try to get the feeling the more hard it becomes to achieve so just let loose n try meditating with relaxed mind.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Fatima W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I kind of let myself drift away for a while, and then as soon as I think I\u2019ve gone too far I\u2019ll open my eyes to reset. I\u2019ll think about what I\u2019m listening to as I meditate, it helps somehow.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Aubree E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Your focus will keep drifting away; it\u2019s a constant recognition of the mind\u2019s activity, so if you\u2019re struggling to focus be aware of that and that still counts. In most meditation practices you settle your attention on your body, such as by observing your breathing, so no disconnection needed!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Corey N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Keep practicing! Meditation isn\u2019t about having perfect peace or perfectly quieting your thoughts. It\u2019s about being super gentle with yourself and gently redirecting your thoughts to your breathing when you get distracted. Really there\u2019s no wrong way to do it, so just remind yourself of that and don\u2019t get down on yourself. Quieting your thoughts does get easier with practice, though!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jenika J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Guided meditations on YouTube really help, the guided hypnosis are great too if you&#39;re looking for out of body experiences<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jennifer P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You should be trying to feel into your body, not disconnect from it. That should never happen. Repetition and practice is what will give you the benefits of meditation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Micaela T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I either stop and take a moment and try again. Other times I would stop and try again the next day. It does get frustrating but I sometimes keep practicing until I\u2019m able to fully disconnect and meditate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anne Z. Breathe.
