It\u2019s okay if you have thoughts during meditation you should take the time to acknowledge them, but then refocus your attention on breathing to recenter. It\u2019s also perfectly normal to go into some meditations wanting to focus on something and take some distraction free time to think or reflect. I think as long as you are focusing on yourself you can\u2019t really do meditation wrong, as long as you do what feels good for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Natty N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me, it is more about not focusing on something specific, but more of focusing on being present in the current moment.
