How to stop the music?

My mind does not want to shut up. I never really noticed it before I tried to quiet my mind, but there’s always music playing in the back of my mind. All. The. Time.
It never stops for a moment. And now I’m aware of it and I can’t stop being aware of it. Eesh.

Also, when I try to meditate, I get flashes of light through my eyelids. It’s startled me a couple of times, and I had to check to make sure no one got home and for some reason decided to flick the lights on and off, but there was no one there.

This is very tricky.

Did you try

guided meditations? Means that someone is taking you through the meditation which helps focus. There are guided meditation podcasts available for free, for example by Meditation Oasis but there are others as well. Maybe this will help you start?

Good luck!

Thank you.

I’ll have to try that. I’m very very new to meditation, obviously, lol.

Guided Meditation rocks.

The music is still going strong, but it blends in with the mediation rather than breaking me out of it. Wonderful! Thanks so much for the guidance.

That's lovely.

Thanks for getting my mind back in the now. You’re especially spot on about the cicadas. They are about my favorite sound in the world. Focusing on them really helps.
