Hello Sir,
I’ve started using your free guided meditation with Oprah.
I am leaning to meditate.And I can Silence my mind for 5 to 10 mins. easily now.I do silent meditations and dont use any mantra.but when I do Your guided meditation and start to chant mantra in my mind,all those random subconscious voices also gets activated in the background and I am more likely to be unconscious in those thoughts.
I want to understand what’s going on.Is it normal in the beginning when we start to use mantra?How can we stop those voices?What should I do now?
