Let's just say meditation isn't my strong point. I find that it's easier to do so in rain, but of course, I can't rely on that to help all the time. I do listen to relaxing music sometimes, but the problem with that is it seems easier to meditate outside than inside. I have headphones, but then that blocks out nature's natural sounds...the whole point of being outside. I have no other portable music player.
I'm not allowed to light candles and have no incense. I usually just end up sitting in a plastic chair on my porch and almost falling asleep instead of actually meditating.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
