#07. Reasons Behind Hard Meditation
want to know mistakes every beginner meditator makes?
Trying different practices at one time. practicing a different kind of exercise is a life doing different work every time without exactly knowing or mastering single technique
And think what happened: blaming, criticizing, or even judging yourself like is it worth or not to do? And exactly this is happening with your mindfulness practice

I want to know how to shut the brain off?
Then you’ve stopped controlling your mind, letting the emotions flow within y
ou effortlessly. feel all the painful experiences you are going through in life.

#02. Biased mindfulness practice
Why is mindfulness not as we’ll think?
Gautam Buddha said: believe nothing, it does not matter if someone said it or you have read it somewhere, even I had said that unless it agrees with your yourself and your common sense.
The most common problem every beginner makes, not listening to herself and practicing what’s working for others. Practicing mindfulness without caring for yourself and one day you’ll quiet it.
No matter how much people say you practice this, practice that, if your body does not feel comfortable you never gotta master that technique. But remember I am not saying you don’t have to choose uncomfortable exercises.
Your body is the best teacher. listen to your body and it will easily differentiate the best meditation according to your body. if anything goes wrong it provides a noticeable signal that you are doing something wrong.
Listening to the body is not as difficult as you think. You need to avoid early notice yourself when you are practicing mindfulness every day.

Why are thoughts painful?

Thoughts are never defined as positive or negative. It’s us, who differentiate good feelings as positive and bad as negative.
Overall in 50000 thoughts, only 5% are positive. It’s looking almost nothing, right! (But this is the fact). and because our mind could not able to identify valuable thoughts or useless ones, it tries to connect you with everyone; no matter, its imagination or past experiences
our mind takes every thought as a real and connects our emotions, let’s say you are sitting on your studying chair, reading books. Suddenly your mind wanders: someone has put a gun on your forehead and shoots…
Now you realize, it’s your imagination because you are reading your book
