Guided meditation is when someone helps you meditate. They are usually counting breathes for you or saying soothing things. Many people use guided meditation to quiet their mind, find some zen, and calm their anxiety. But some people hate guided meditation. They think the people narrating sound pushy and pretentious. Even the narrator’s tone of voice annoys them.

I think that Dominique is right when she refuses to follow Andy`s advice, maybe she has a lot of things to do and it`s not  for her the right moment to empty her mind of countless thoughts that would disturb her meditation.


I try to meditate, prayer is also a meditation.

Omg.. how proper the topic is.


Writing, and writing , and writing , and writing the moment I was angry , what I was thinking , how did I think, and so on ceaselessly  till I was calm down.

 So ,I have many diaries.


 Recently , I was menaced by a prostitute because of work.  She made numerous harassing calls and threatening sms messages to me.  At last I called the polices.  You know, the polices were no way to such things which didn’t cause significant bodily harm.
