Hello everyone. I am fairly new to Yoga practices but have trying diligently for the past few weeks to do my two sessions daily. Finding quiet in the midst of a busy urban and family life was found to be the biggest difficulty. As a child I believe I suffered from what is now diagnosed as ADHD and probably still struggle with a milder form of this. My mind can be very easily distracted by external stimuli and I have difficulty staying focused and getting it quieted down at the best of times. I have found that using soft sponge ear plugs (the type used in industry around loud machinery) has been very helpful in allowing me to do the practices rather successfully with a minimum of distraction, regardless of where I happen to be. I have found the practices to be a huge help in quieting and focussing my thoughts, something I have always had great difficulty in doing. Blessings to all,
Paul

Hello, everyone. I very much enjoy reading the postings here,
and learning who else has discovered Yogani's excellent method.
As for noise, I don't think it's 'cheating' to wear earphones and
listen to soothing sounds. I use a cassette of surf and seagulls
with embedded hemi-sync put out by the Monroe Institute.
The Mind Food Hemi Sync cassette or CD titled "Surf"
is available from
www.monroeinstitute.org/programs/hemi-sync.html(I have no connection with them.)
I also tried others from another group, but found them much less
soothing. in fact quite the oppostie. The surf cassette I have probably
listened to hundreds of times. Excellent!
May you all achieve your highest aspirations!
Ramon
