It's impossible for me to say, of course. Find a meditation style that you like and look forward to doing -- that will most likely take care of the focus and motivation issues.

I have been trying to meditate each morning for 6 months or so and have been struggling a great deal of late to maintain focus and motivation - the meditation i have been trying is a combination of mindfulness of breathing and bodyscan...i suffer from anxiety and low-self esteem - also bouts of depression - i am determined to become a life long meditator to help with this (i am tired of all of this and don't want it to be my life) - do you think it will help? Do you have any tips for which particular meditations to use? I am going on a retreat soon in UK so this should be a chance to deepen my practice. Finally thanks for sharing the podcasts, it is very kind :) Hi Mary…i have just found your website and really like what i see so far.

Try some of the meditations in the podcast -- Simply Being, Breath Awareness, Letting Go, Relief from Stress and Pressure are ones you can try. Or try the ones you're drawn to and see which works best for you. Steve, yes meditation can help lower blood pressure due to its relaxing effect — this has been researched.

Also, having gratitude for what we already have can create an energy which brings more into our lives. You might try the Gratitude Meditation on the Listen to Our Podcast page.
