Thank you for the responses!! Unfortunately for me it's rare that i have a time in my house when i know the silence will last long enough for any type of significant meditation.Emperor_Warlocks wrote:astrallychallenged77 wrote:I do get that some folks have issues with the BB, headaches and such. They have never really bothered me in that way and usually are the easiest way for me to get in the right frame of mind when meditating. I have done some in silence, even then i still have to put in headphones as my dogs are rarely quiet and still. Plus my house isn't the ideal place as it's generally busy with the wife and kid running around. Neither of which share my interest in these sort of things.
Indeed again In your case with family, beats do make a grate way form of meditating whenever you think silence can't be achieved for whatever simple reason. Tust me whenever I have my cousins or other family over for visit I already know my silence meditation will not come into play. So all I do is put those earbuds in and I can already feel myself going through different dimensions while not even in my meditating position yet, lol I do prefer like I said the silence method as I reach my higher state but I can never go wrong with these beats.
The main "quiet" times of course are weekdays during work/school hours. However, as i too must work these are the times when i am not able to be at the house. I can actually tell my daughter not to bother me because i am going to meditate and she will GENERALLY leave me alone. Not always as in her 12 year old world "emergencies" pop up often without warning and she will come in and do exactly that......interrupt me.
I have reached deep states (for me, probably not what a seasoned person would call deep) in meditation with the BB, nature sounds etc. I just wonder if perhaps the really deep in yourself type of experience is something that can only come from silence? We'll see!! Have great rest of your day/night!!
