The world is in dare need of meditation at this particular point in time. The world is filled with noise and not really paying attention to things that matters.
This is the best time for the world to have a quiet time and meditate on issues that will further the betterment of human race.
why is it so hard to meditate?
Noise is one of those things that makes meditation hard. Meditation need a quiet and serene place void of distraction. The horns from cars, the chatting from people around and sometimes the melody from music. At some point I wanted to have a quiet time and meditate in my room, whenever I was about to get deep in meditation , I hear the song I love so much playing from a radio from a distance and I get distracted and abandon the meditation to join in the singing.
At some other times, what makes it difficult for me to meditate is the fear of reawakening the feeling of anger, irritation during the meditation. There are feelings that we have buried, but during meditation those negative feeling may resurface. This feelings could be past mistake or some failures in the past that someone may choose not to really want to meditate on them, because of that, one may choose not to meditate to avoid bringing back those unpleasant feelings.
It even becomes harder to meditate when you are still. The mind begins to jump from one thought to another and busy bringing up thought that do not matter and get me distracted.
Sometimes the noise that get me distracted, is the noise inside of me, not necessarily the outward audible noise. These noises could be financially challenges am facing at that time. Some other time it could be the noise from the family crisis. When I try to meditate, all these crisis and challenges begins to pop into my head, and it becomes difficult for me to meditate.
The above are some of the reason why it's hard for me to meditate.
