Silence or music

When I sit down to meditate usually my mind is very restless and telling me I should do at least one more thing before I let it rest.

Obviously, if I do it, it will surely find a few more interesting and pressing things to attend to, so usually I just sit down.

It’s much easier for me to quiet down the mind if I listen to meditation music or do a guided meditation. In the last year, it’s been often what I pick.

Yet I feel that the meditations that really stick with me and I can remember for years to come are those where I was just in the quiet and it often took me a lot of effort to reach the space of a clear mind, freedom to be now and true love.
