Trouble focusing during meditation

Well Chris, see what has to say about this. One thought is

that this sounds a lot like the Hypnagogic/pompic state. The

Hypnagogic occurs as we are going to sleep and can include visual,

auditory and physical manifestations. I experience this state a

great deal and I hear " psychic chatter " , sometimes my name being

called. I have experiened this during meditation if I get deep

enought that I am near sleep or in the car when dozing lightly.

 

I don't know if this is what you are experiencing but it sounds like

it could be related.

Thanks for the reply . It could be that which you explained in your

reply . It's very annoying for sure . I feel like I'm getting

fragments of a message or something . It's never really directed at me

though .

 

Here are a few fragments " speaking of " , " why should I " , " next

time " . lol

 

I was like please just shut up or finish the sentence . hehe

I've been researching this on the internet . It seems the more I focus

the worst the chatter becomes .

That's usually what it's like. You hear fragments, but not enough to

follow what is happening. This usually happens when you are in a

relaxed state, not while you are thinking.

 

Have you tried using a mantra? Sometimes if I can't quiet the mind I

say " I am " on the inhale and " at peace " on the exhale.

 

Curious to see what thinks.

I get this to and it is very annoying. I get the whole sentences most

of the time now and sometimes the reply. I try not to pay attention. I

was thinking maybe it had to do with the third eye opening more.

Sometimes now I hear this stuff up running around doing things. Just

depends on how close attention I am paying. A few times I have replied

back just to see if I would get a reply. Hehe! I think it is just

words spoken that are just out there in the air and we pick up on them.

Don't know for sure, but what it seems like to me.
