Why Does the Mind Wander During Meditation?
“Who is the biggest obstacle in meditation?
The mind itself.”
It’s the same mind that draws us toward meditation, and it’s also the first to distract us.
Do You Experience This?
The moment you close your eyes, thoughts start racing?
Old fears or regrets suddenly appear?
You sit for 5 minutes and find 10 minutes of restlessness?
If yes, you’re not alone.
This is the common experience of every seeker who sincerely sits to go within.
Why Does the Mind Wander?
1. It’s the Nature of the Mind to Move
The energy of the mind constantly jumps from one thought to another – like a monkey swinging from tree to tree.
2. Hidden Thoughts Begin to Surface
As soon as we sit in silence, suppressed subconscious thoughts rise to the surface.
We try to push them away, but they are trying to leave.
It’s like washing your face – the dirt first becomes visible.
3. Unsteady Breath and Physical Discomfort
If your breath is irregular or your body is tense, the mind cannot calm down.
Breath and mind are deeply connected – like a river and its current.
What Does Science Say?
Yes, neuroscience supports this:
During meditation, the brain shifts from Beta waves (active thinking) to Alpha and eventually Theta waves (deep relaxation).
But when the mind is restless, this shift doesn’t happen.
True meditation begins when brain waves slow down and become gentle — that’s when peace arises.
So, What’s the Solution? Can We Stop the Mind?
❌ Truth #1:
Meditation is not about stopping the mind.
✅ Real solution:
Learn to watch the mind, not fight it.
1. Anchor Your Attention to the Breath
You can’t control the mind directly, but you can control your breath.
Gentle, deep breathing naturally brings stability to the mind.
2. Let Thoughts Come – Just Don’t Follow Them
Observe thoughts like trains passing a platform.
You’re the watcher on the platform – not the passenger on the train.
3. Use a Mantra or Inner Sound
A mantra or a soft inner sound helps the mind stay centered and reduces drift.
4. Start with Guided Meditation
For beginners, guided meditation is the most effective and effortless way to build inner focus.
From My Experience…
When I first tried meditating, I felt I was doing nothing “right.”
But over time, I simply stayed with the breath and stopped resisting thoughts.
Soon, a quiet clarity began to emerge.
Meditation is not a goal – it’s the art of letting go.

Final Thought:
Watching the mind – without fighting it – is the true beginning of meditation.
The mind may wander today – it may settle tomorrow –
and one day, it will become your companion.
All it takes is one courageous step… inward.
Meditation During Navratri

Here’s how to do it: Sit in a comfortable posture, close your eyes, take deep and long breaths, hold the breath in as long as you comfortably can, and then exhale slowly and deeply. This completes one cycle of Sanjeevani Pranayama. You should do at least 15 rounds of this.
3. After Sanjeevani Pranayama, chant the sound “Om” for 5 minutes.
4. Then, focus between your eyebrows and meditate for 10 minutes.
5. After the meditation, spend 5 minutes visualizing blue energy entering your body from above your head and filling every cell of your body. Feel this energy radiating throughout your being.
6. Finally, silently repeat the same prayer to the Divine that you had said before the meditation.
What will happen with this meditation?
Those who have practiced this method of meditation during Navratri have experienced incredible outcomes and positive results.

Why daily medication is good?
A human being of an instrument of three sub-instruments and these are:-
- A Body
- A mind
- A self or soul
It is quite surprising that when humans start seeing themselves just a body. Whereas in reality, a human being is the combination of three entities. This something that we all can experience.
We can experience we have a mind and the one who understands his own mind, is after all seperated from the mind itself, right?
The mind
We forget we have a mind and that’s why we are not worried about it. But in reality we are doing everything with the help of our mind.
What meditation do with the mind?
Meditation remove all negativities from the mind. Like our body our mind also becomes dirty with our daily activities. We take bath to clean our body but forget to give a bath to our mind. Meditation gives bath to our mind.
Daily Meditation
As daily bath is required to clean the body to keep it fit and healthy, daily meditation is also required to clean the mind and keep it healthy. If you really want to progress in your life, you must meditate daily to keep your mind fit.

ध्यान साधना में आने वाले विघ्न और उनके समाधान – Meditation Problem Solving
ध्यान, साधना में आते है यह 9 प्रकार के अवधान
योग साधना के मार्ग पर चलने वाले साधक के रास्ते में तरह तरह के विघ्न आते है जिससे कि अक्सर साधक अपने पथ से विचलित हो जाते है. कई बार यह विघ्न इतने तीव्र होते है कि साधक को पता ही नहीं चल पाता. योग साधना निरन्तर चलती रहे तभी साधना में अच्छे रिजल्ट्स मिलते है. एक बार साधक अगर पथ भ्रष्ट हो जाये तो जल्दी से वापिस आना भी मुश्किल हो जाता है.
9 प्रकार के अवधान है जो साधना मार्ग में हर साधक के आगे आते है. इन विघ्नों के बारे हर साधक को जानना आवश्यक है.
महर्षि पतंजलि ने पतंजलि योग सूत्र में सूत्र संख्या 30 में इसके बारे में बताया है.
यह 9 विघ्न इस प्रकार से है
- शरीरिक रोग या मन सम्बन्धी रोग
- अकर्मण्यता – कुछ भी न करने का मन करना
- संदेह – खुद पर और योग पर संदेह उत्पन्न हो जाना
- योग साधना में बेपरवाही बरतना
- शरीर में भारीपन के कारण आलस्य आना
- वैराग्य की भावना अचानक ख़त्म हो जाना
- मिथ्याज्ञान आ जाना – यानि रस्सी को सांप और सांप को रस्सी समझना
- चित की चंचलता बढ़ जाना
- समाधि की अप्राप्ति – यानि समाधि को छूते छूते रुक जाना
यह सारे के सारे विघ्न है जो साधना के मार्ग में हर साधक के सामने किसी न किसी रूप में आते है. अगर साधक सचेत है तो सही नहीं तो ये विघ्न साधक को उसके मार्ग से हटाने में कामयाब होते ही है.
यह वास्तव में चित की चंचलता की वजह से होते है. इन विघ्नों को योग के अन्तराए भी कहते है.
इसका समाधान क्या है?
पहला तरीका एक अच्छे गुरु का होना जो आपको हरदम एक उचित दिशा देता रहे.
दूसरा तरीका है ॐ का उच्चारण. ॐ, प्रणव, इक ओंकार एक ही है. अगर आप हिन्दू धर्म से नहीं है या फिर किसी कारणवश ॐ का उच्चारण नहीं करना चाहते है तो इसकी जगह भ्रामरी प्राणायाम भी कर सकते है.
तीसरा तरीका है मन ही मन ॐ का जप
चोथा तरीका है शाश्त्र अध्यन करना. अपने धर्मानुसार किसी भी शाश्त्र का आप अधयन्न कर सकते है.
सबसे जरुरी है निरंतर प्रयास. चाहे कुछ भी मन में आये फिर भी निरंतर प्रयास करना अति आवश्यक है.
