Q. How do I quiet my mind? I also have opened up and want to know how you quiet your mind. Do you get migraines? PS: I really have enjoyed your book.—A
A. Hi A! In quieting the mind, I find sleep is just a miracle. If I have a big session, say a big workshop and then a break where I have to do something else later, I just head back to the hotel room (or wherever) and crawl in the covers and take a power nap. Nothing else works as well. ALSO! It is surprising, but silly comedies or movies also help when I have had a lot of intensive readings in one day. I don't get migraines myself. But I think this kind of distraction (sleep, entertainment) could help.
Now, if you are having trouble quieting the mind DURING meditation, simply ASK for help from the Divine. Say: "Hello brain, I love your thoughts, but I'd like a break from thoughts right now" and you will quickly notice that your mind quiets. Don't worry one WHIT if you are "doing it right" or "my mind is too busy." Just go in, breathe, do whatever meditation you can, and the Divine will work the miracles for you.
Finally, it is COMMON to have a bit of a headache if you are doing a lot of psychic work. For this, you need to get grounded: eat something, such as a full meal. Sleep. Go for a walk. Do something completely "non brain" and connected, such as give the dog a bath or take a bath yourself (I don't suggest taking a bath with your dog!), get the groceries, get a coffee!!!! or have a glass of wine. Just change the chemicals up and you should be feeling better. —SARA
