Thanks I appreciate the helpHere's what I used to do (and still do when this happens):
Some people advise just ignoring the extraneous, intruding "mind-chatter" but I found that doesn't work (for me anyway), because they just keep "yelling for attention" so to speak. So I address them as if they were "sentient" and tell them "You can see I'm busy now so I'll deal with you later," and continue with my meditation. It's not an instant "cure" but it helped me.
You will find it happens less and less often as you progress in your meditations over time but they can still crop up from time to time.

Thanks I'll try that outGetting into a yoga position and doing abdominal, rythymic breathing helps me a lot to keep the extraneous thoughts out during meditation. This is because of glandular and chakra stimulation and quieting happening during yoga. Even in a small room with little space, one can get into poses like standing position and folded leaf.

Hi Warrior!
I understand what you mean and where you're coming from.
First of all, majority has his/her own difficulties in meditations initially, it is normal Mike.
Emotionless mechanical repetition is fatal in any aspects in life, be it romance,career or spiritually.
The truth is,nobody is patient,we do not need to practice patience to know that everything takes time.
It is the law of nature that growth requires time.
All achievement is through the accumulation of progresses.Never say you haven't enough progress.
Frankly, you do not know a good reason why do you want to meditate.
All you truly need is the "WHY".
A burning desire to bring forth joy and passion in your Spiritual endeavor.
Ask yourself the reasons WHY you meditate for.
You can't be stagnant unless you will yourself to.
The answers are within yourself Mike,you just have to dig them.
Write in a piece of paper if you will.
When your desires surpassed your perceived difficulties,
that is the moment when you are clear enough.
Spiritual advancement is not only a practice, but a way of life for all of us Spiritual Satanists.
Happy New Year of the Dragon 2012 in advance!

Hail Warriors!
As the subject say: I'm having some difficulties with meditations. Let me explain. Basically I feel as if I'm not making enough progress. Now I do understand that these things take time and patience, and a lot of these, but still, it's not getting any easier. It's over a few months now after I started to meditate again, including almost two months of Power Meditations and a month of sticking to the Spiritual Warfare Training Program. As stated, I haven't opened my chakras yet but I highly doubt I'll be able to do so as I possess virtually no concentration/focus abilities and even less visualization powers.
I'm not saying I'm going to give up, no friggin' way. The problem is, I'm afraid, that I'll start treating meditations as another work, a labour that needs to be done. With no joy coming out of it. Just an emotionless, without a devotion, mechanical repetition. I did read in one of the books about Yoga that this is actually the worst thing that can happen during the whole practice. Falling into a lethargy. And I don't really know how to change that if it happens, how to motivate myself. I've written before that I'm quite an impatient person by nature and learning patience isn't an easy thing. Hopefully, the stagnation won't get me before I'll be able to learn it.
Any tips/insights on how to overcome such an issue form You, veteran Satanists?
Many thanks for all the advices.

Subject: [JoyofSatan666] Re: Difficulties
Thanks a ton for Your words of encouragement Brian.
Yes, You are right, nothing worthwhile comes with a snap of the fingers. Even when it seems hard, or I'm getting my lazy day(s), I still know I must not give up and just push forward. Nothing bad or wrong may come out of it (hopefully).
I'm writing this just after my daily meditation. Actually I meditate twice a day (really thrice, last time right before laying to sleep, in my bed, but this is just basically a few breathing exercises and and aura cleaning thing). In the morning, before going to work I do Foundation Meditation, Breathing Exercises, Aura cleaning and a Void Meditation, all to the best of my tiny abilities; these take from 30 to 40 minutes. In the evening (starting 9 pm, after my physical workout, shower and a proper supper) I go by the Spiritual Warfare Training (doing concentration and visualization exercises right now - damn these are hard...) That takes also from 30 to 40 minutes. All these done every day. It feels exhausting at times but deep inside I know that this is what and how I should be doing. Hopefully not overdoing things.
While talking about baby steps progress, I just noticed it is a bit easier for me to relax, and to go into a deeper relaxation state, then to focus and concentrate, I'm able to visualize a bit better/longer... It's not much of an improvement but still, better than nothing. And it can only get better. I also have a feeling that I was only a step away from feeling my chakras... that should come in time. Felt some kind of a slight, warm feeling inside, along my spine that expanded into my whole body. But maybe I'm just imagining things here, as it was really faint. The problem is what I have written about before: that goddamn temples pressure. Actually this time it got worse: it felt as if I had an iron band attached to them, going all around my forehead and applying an unpleasant pressure and tingling. Brief, sharp pain in the ears could also be felt, this however was really short but happened a few times. Now I'll be feeling that pressure in the temples and around the head for an hour or more. At least it's more muffled now but still annoying. I did have the same kind of problems before, the first time I started any meditation program, back when I was still in my early teens, the one I did abandon after some time. This time all of that is happening again. Hope I'll be able to work it out somehow.
And one more strange thing... Dunno why, just on it's own it would seem, I was talking to Father in my mind. Of course it was only a monologue but I hope he did hear me. Now, I don't normally do that kind of thing as I feel silly for doing it. But nonetheless I asked Father not to be offended/angry with me, as I have not dedicated yet and promised that I will when I really feel I'm ready to join the family and take on the responsibility. Told Him that hopefully it will happen soon. Pledged my full support and devotion to the cause of cleansing this world, asked for guidance and promised to help with everything once I'm actually able to do it. It did feel like an oath or something... I must admit that I was a bit scared when I realized what I have done but seems that fear, even though a brief one, was a remaining of the jewish programming. Looks like it went deeper and had a lot more effect upon my life than I have ever known or could admit to myself. Seems this is the hardest part, getting totally rid of all the destructive, programmed reactions and emotions. Heh, I have a lot of work to do.
