Medition classes are triggers for me, any alternative available?

[Britt.f7]

I have never been able to meditate, or listen to relaxation tapes, or anything close to them. I just can't relax. Let's correct that, I think I am relaxed and then I'm told to relax, so I end up a little baffled. But that is with other people. On my own I relax just fine. Well as fine as I can and I am alright with this.

I've tried yoga and tai chi and I still can't get my mind to shut up.

I wish you better luck then I've had! Wish I could be more help.

Thank you, Britt. Strangely, listening to dark and depressing Goth music helps me, to relax, at times. And writing out my thoughts, in free verse, can help, at times, too.
