For most of us it is hard to quiet our minds during our busy days, let alone during meditation. How do you stop the constant stream of thoughts? Try listening like you do when you are alone in your house and hear an odd noise. Stop. Listen. Keep Listening. Even if you hear sounds, notice them without judgement and keep listening intently. That’s the quiet you were looking for. That’s the opening you were looking for. Try this as a quick meditation practice at least once a day and enjoy this new quiet open space you have created in your life.
