story time - meditation

i been trying to meditate for years now and my brain wants to continue to remember. i read you have to still an image and bring it back each time you lose sight of it. i tried that and failed. it is very difficult for me to quite my mind.

i normally meditate an hour before i sleep or so

even during the day i find my brain being "busy"

in other words, the brain is very distracted and can not focus on the task at hand. it is preoccupied.

how i manage to record my trances is when my spirit compelled me. the feeling of i "need" to do this

then my brain focuses on the task at hand

i never understood the feeling of i "need" to do this.. i simply do and not question it but looking back i do wonder about it

~feel free to share your experiences
