The "Clear Your Mind Syndrome" Part II

  The Question of "Time". One of the challenges that I mentioned earlier in the blog was the "I Don't Have Time" dilemma.  And, I had alluded to the idea that ultimately "time is irrelevant" when meditation is concerned.  Also, I had promised to show you how to start meditating during your regular day, if sitting down formally (and closing your eyes) to meditate was not an option for you. I would like to navigate you, how to overcome this situation and enhance your inner strength.  And, finally, I advised that if you didn't have time to meditate because your life is too busy, cluttered, or chaotic, then you absolutely had to start meditation.  So... let's discuss this further.

The truly unfortunate part is, even most of the long-time meditation practitioners out there - who have been practising for a decade or two - are still trying to "clear their mind"...without much success. (This includes many of the instructors, too!) Most people, including many instructors and teachers, end up turning the mind into an enemy that they have to fight against, resist, or try to shut down. That is the exact opposite of
