Hi, my name is Lisa and I'm from Austria. I've been trying to meditate for some time now, but somehow it's always really hard to get my mind to quiet down. I can't think of nothing, it doesn't work and the harder I try the more frustrating it gets.

So this time around I thought I'd try a different method. Haven't really decided on one though. I've tried breathing meditation before but after a few minutes I always get the feeling that I'm suffocating and not breathing properly/not getting enough air.
Maybe I should just try to sit quietly at first and watch my thoughts drift by like clouds? That could work I think =)

I'm happy to take part in this challenge and looking forward to reading other peoples experience with it

Hi Lisa,
I love it that people from all over the world are joining this challenge. I look forward to participating in the challenge with you. And I agree, not every method is right for everyone. But when you find the right method, you know it!

Hi Lisa,
Glad you joined us. I am new to all of this stuff but I did try the Silva Life System recently. Its more verbal so, I didn't have to think... I just listened to what she was saying. They do have a free one to try out. See what you think. Good Luck
