If I can get over the snoring of my hubby anything can be possible!

I say stick with it and you will succeed without the earplugs.  Funny how this topic is so very popular tonight..hmmmm..interesting indeed. []

Nay

I just had to add.. after writing out the post I went back to proof read, I had put "children" in the place of "hubby".. without my knowledge..LOL. I so was thinking hubby...so where in the world did that come from?..*shakes head*

The only ones that do me any good are the silicone ones like this:

Chanting drowns out kids and dogs.  So does meditating in the bathtub []  Early in the morning, very late at night.  Ahhhh, for the stillness of Winter!!!

Hello Naiad780,

Perhaps you should try some relazing meditation music...either that or buy one of those machines that plays ambient sounds...don't know what they're called, but they play something like a cross between oceans sounds and white noise.

Good luck,

Actually, Robert Bruce recommends not using music because it can be distracting since most of us have emotional reactions to music, and that can interfere with meditation.  However, I did discover the perfect neutral white noise generator:  my fan turned on high  Cheap and effective.

...earplugs.  I think every child living in this apartment complex was carefully selected for noise capacity and the ability to produce ear-shattering shrieks.  This is not boding well for my meditation and projection attempts!  I keep telling myself that I need to learn to meditate even under less-than-perfect circumstances, but I think this is a bit much for beginner status.

I wonder what kind I should get and where?  I have some latex earplugs from years ago but they aren't very comfortable.  

Ah, kids.  You can't yell at them for having fun, so you have to work around it somehow
