They're generic mindfulness guides, so they should be broadly applicable.
They helped me in that they made it clear not to try and "force" anything, but to just gently experience and not treat it as an exercise.
Granted, I haven't been able to do much more than sometimes achieve the focus on a single thought or experience, but that helps a little. It's some temporary relief from all the fretting that I also do. |
Sorry to be so slow to reply, @CepheidVariable . Those videos might be helpful. I was trying to meditate a few years ago by staring at a candle, but that only lasted a month or so.
I find certain music also helps me relax. That is probably true for everybody I suppose. There is a "Traditional Music Channel" on youtube that has a lot of folk music such as American Indian, Mongolian, etc. That stuff is soothing to me.
