Meditation is not isolation, it is not just for hermits or for people who choose to withdraw from society. On the contrary, it is much more useful and brings greater benefits to those who live in society every day, surrounded by tensions and stresses of all kinds.
It is not taking itself seriously. It is a serious matter thanks to the benefits it gives us, but it is not a rigid or dogmatic thing, which follows a certain type of scheme.
No, it's not like that ... In fact, the moment you sit down the thoughts do not disappear but they all gather at the same time in your head, apparently, preventing you from meditating.
Do you want to know the secret instead? All of this is normal part of meditation!
All this happens only because you are usually always distracted and you never listen to yourself. And so when you finally sit down 15 .. 30 minutes in silence and start listening to yourself, all the thoughts stick together in your head like the water in the neck of a bottle backhanded.
It is a very normal thing and it is a sign that you are taking the first steps in meditation.
Meditation is consciousness, meditation is awareness. Meditation is not detaching, the opposite. It is to get in touch with our being, it is to connect to the present and to watch everything around you, without making you emotionally influenced. Apparently, nothing happens and maybe it also irritates you. But only apparently because in your mind you are actually already starting to build the path of a good habit full of benefits, and of this, if you are connected to a machine that detects brainwaves you will immediately notice, just after you have taken 30 minutes for yourself, to meditate. If like most of us, you do not have such a device at hand, you will see the benefits later when the path is firmer. But you will see them.
