Have you guys always had these problems or would you say it's been getting worse over time?
Reason I ask is, I certainly hope it doesn't get harder. I would think it's not supposed to.
I think the important thing is this; What is the intent of the thread? So we could start another thread about the improvement over the years or our decline in meditation. This one is clearly about the challenges we have encountered and perhaps how to deal with them. Having said that I leave it to you spirit image to start another thread on progress to spiritual meditation. It is a topic in itself. This topic was not meant to discourage people but just to but rather, to work on solutions to challenges and recognize them.
