Intrusive Thoughts | Am I Meditating the Right Way?
Have you ever wondered what to do when meditation does not work? Or have you asked yourself: can I still think while meditating? In this video, Maureen answers those questions and more.

It is widely believed that a great meditation practice is central to self improvement and spiritual growth. But when we are faced with persistent intrusive thoughts, it’s easy to get performance anxiety. We wonder “am I meditating the right way?” or “Why am I bad at meditating?” 

In this video, “A Course In Miracles” teacher Maureen Whitehouse delves into the common misconception that meditation is all about achieving a blank mind. On the contrary, she explains that meditation is actually about becoming the observer of those thoughts. 

By sitting comfortably and allowing yourself to relax, you can watch scattered thoughts passing through your mind, much like observing clouds in the sky. Maureen emphasizes the importance of slowing down your thoughts through deliberate breathing, creating space between them and enabling a pattern interrupt from anxiety or negative thoughts. Through this practice, you can stop worrying about how to stop intrusive thoughts and simply choose to focus on the ones that bring peace and happiness.

Maureen encourages us to relax into the process of meditation, letting go of the need for control. By adopting a stance of observation without judgment, you can connect with your Being – your True Self. Through this connection, you will gradually transform your inner world, leading to positive changes in your outer world too.
