NightingalesFlame,
You have a Bible verse at the bottom of your posts, if you follow the Christian faith,
it would seem like Jesus Christ, or the Bible, would be your best answer. I do meditation
and know how to quiet my mind. When I quiet my mind nothing is a distraction.
This is what I do and I don't know where you put your faith, but I depend on my deeper
being to guide me, and it has guided me true all my life. It has guided me even when I
was unaware of its' guidance. In my opinion, every experience that we have is for us to
learn about ourselves. I wish you well in your journey.
