Undoubtedly groups meditations are better, a group being defined by more than 1 person.
I've tried my best to plan to be able to meditate with someone else (wife and son) within the family but my plans have been culled. My wife started to 'hear voices' and was scared, my son is autistic and cannot grasp mental abstractions.
Going on stubbornly on my own.
I wonder how close u live to a large city in Italy? Aren't there meditation groups of some sort anywhere around?
I have been meditating so many decades now that it just comes natural without meditating with others. Although I still enjoy the different experiences i have with others I meet and it is especially beneficial for me during long meditations.
Were the voices your wife heard of an unkind nature? They could b spiritual guides. i remember falling asleep once during meditation. A soft kind voice said "Steve" I woke up and had no inclination to fall back asleep after that !!! Hoping to hear more voices! ♡♡♡
We hear a lot things while meditating. Just as we hear voices when in our daily routine we will also hear a lot of things in our interior life as well. If they r not significant it is just best to come back to our practice. No big deal and just something we get used to. It seems nice that your wife is in tune to 'realm' others may not be.... just not to get overwhelmed by it all.
