Sometimes it can be contrary to the goal to attempt too hard to suppress thoughts. If you try too hard, it can be just as bad as thinking in the first place!<BR/><BR/>I do believe that one can become addicted to sounds and music during meditation, as it has already happened to me. I rely on them so much that I would find it difficult to meditate without them. The outside noises would just distract me too much.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I try to stare at the middle of my forehead, too, but find that it puts a lot of strain on my eyes. Also, more and more I am focusing on my breath.<BR/><BR/>How long have you been meditating for?Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988429133719659700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069115106901769901.post-12706840646305385712007-04-01T16:21:00.000-04:002007-04-01T16:21:00.000-04:00I tried Brain-Sync technology.

I have the feeling you shouldn't use it too much or regularly. You may become addicted.<BR/>I don't really meditate. I just stare at the middle of my forehead, or at the tip of my nose from time to time, to relax my eyes. And sometimes I concentrate on my breath to get rid of the tension.<BR/>Some of these meditation music can be very powerful. One time it felt like my body wasn't there anymore, like it became very transparent or empty. <BR/>I also don't do any thought stopping or thought suppression. I just don't let thoughts bother me. I let them come and go without really grasping them. Unless I want to express or write something. Then I try to think clearly and deeply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069115106901769901.post-15169077616420469892007-03-31T15:12:00.000-04:002007-03-31T15:12:00.000-04:00Hi Kingsley, I'm still waiting on the CDs.

It's difficult to be patient. :)<BR/><BR/>If you come back and read this, will you let me know if Monroe gives AP methods in his books?<BR/><BR/>I am very much into sounds, especially for use in meditation. I use them because if I meditate without them, I hear dogs barking, the television in the other room, the phone ringing, airplanes in the sky, police and ambulances, etc. I live in the suburbs so outside noises are very common.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988429133719659700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069115106901769901.post-4666131835862740992007-03-31T14:32:00.000-04:002007-03-31T14:32:00.000-04:00Hi Mark, check your email!
