I am not very good at visualizing. In fact, I have never been able to do it, which frustrates me a lot! With the breathing and the relaxing, no problem. And, I am not good at guiding myself while trying to meditate. I love doing it, though,  because I really feel so relaxed.<br \/>\n     I have been a loner most of my life, I suppose that is why I prefer to do it alone. Sorry, that I can&#39;t help you much. I hope you are happy with The Fabulous. I love it! I never feel alone and the habits we do with each journey helps me to feel better about myself. I find myself doing things for ME! I am blessed with a wonderful and very funny man, with whom I am married 60 years. We have 3 sons who married and divorced their 1st wives. They all remarried very different women and they are very happy. We  have 6 women they have brought into our lives, along with 9 grandchildren, one of whom just married a very sweet young lady! I refuse to let go of the 1st wives, so they and their gentlemen are a great part of our family. The grandkids are close to us, as well as their parents.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Stefano J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have social anxiety, so mediating with a group feels a bit awkward and makes me very uncomfortable. Even with a partner that I trust. I don\u2019t know, I feel like doing it alone is more relaxing and personal. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lilly F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Always alone that is my me time so it\u2019s just me and my thoughts <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Burkhardt Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Personally, I like to meditate alone because I don&#39;t have time to devote to a group setting or being with a partner and I am in control of which sessions I choose and when. I also find being alone is nice because you aren&#39;t worries about your immediate surroundings quite as much.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Naz Rio Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">i prefer to meditate alone because it gives me some time for myself to relax but that may be because i am introverted and prefer to have time to myself as i meditate <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brittany O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Definitely Alone. I have a people person job. I deal with lots of people everyday. So meditation is my chance to get some alone time and process my thoughts<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Pauline W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I&#39;ve always done it alone, but I can easily picture me in a group. I think I&#39;d like that! For the partner&#8230; it depends who it is. I know my friends too much, we&#39;re not quiet together ^^&#39;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bernice C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have participated in group meditations. It is a unique and rewarding experience each time. Periodically, I think it is good to practice meditation in a group so that you continue to learn from others. Currently though, I have been trying to practice meditation alone. I found that if I practice meditation in a group, the. I begin to rely on the group and have trouble maintaining a meditation routine on my own for more than a few days or perhaps a 10 days at most. However, if I only practice meditation alone, I do find that I get lazy, develop bad habits, or drop off my routine, so periodically it is good to meditate in a group. I think this may be a behavior pattern that applies to many activities in life- exercise, studying, maybe even completing tasks at work, cooking, eating meals?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alyssia C.
