Having Trouble Meditating:
How about YouTube and other videos available on the internet?

I approach videos like all “spiritual” material. If I like it, I watch it. If I like it, I will continue watching and listening. I don’t have to watch the whole thing. If it doesn’t feel right, I move on to another video suggested or explore other material.

The point is, that there are many useful videos on you tube and other sites. Yes, there is stuff that may not be appropriate to your journey. Trust yourself and spirit to guide you.

What I like about videos is the convenience of opening my laptop at any time, and I can begin to meditate. I know how long it will be, the topic, and can read the reviews, all of which I really don’t do until after listening. I can add wonderful music and meditations to my favorites list. If you are having trouble meditating or fitting it into your life, this may be of help to you. It does get you to meditate more often.

In many meditations and other breathing related exercises, I find it better to put the laptop beside me and close my eyes. I find the audio to be more important than the video itself. Sometimes the video is integrated and both are useful. Some exercises are more for the eyes than the ears and contain geometric shapes, and symbols or are instructional in nature.

As well, videos are a rich source for channeled information, and other related knowledge. Use your intuition, your “gut” to discern the appropriateness of the knowledge. If it is something new, I will go to the home site to research the source. Ask the universe to guide you to the “right” information and trust and allow the universe to work her magic.  

Note: I have listened to these videos and they are useful. I cannot vouch for the appropriateness of the associated people, sites and links. I really don’t have the time to do the research necessary. I leave this for your discernment and intuition.

Here is a a meditation about empaths. This seems to be a very practical and down to earth explanation of what an empath is, from an honest source
