I tried a top rated guide that has you listen to a voice the whole time. It felt like more noise in my head, not less. Why do most guides think constant talking helps people relax?
The city is redoing the playground two blocks from my place, and the drilling starts at 7 AM. My usual quiet morning meditation is now full of banging and engine sounds. I tried putting on white noise, but it just adds to the clutter in my head. Does anyone know of a meditation guide that specifically helps you tune out external noise? I need something with clear instructions to keep my mind from wandering to the construction. It's really messing with my stress levels for the day. I'd love any tips or links to guides that have worked for you in similar spots.
Our recent shift from physical manuals to audio guides has me wondering how the medium affects our mindfulness journey, and I'm eager to hear how others choose their guides.
