LOL!

Ah there is only one answer - change the record. Something soothing or meditative to start with, then perhaps a nice Hemi-Sync beat, becoming the heartbeat ...

hehe..yeah it sucks.

I think you will learn how to overcome it in time however. Discipline of the mind usually comes with training and you can teach yourself to stop it from happening or at least reduce it.

It does get annoying though!

Good luck

The same exact thing happens to me when I try grounding, or something that involves Ki. I just can't seem to get it out of my head. I was at my friends house last week grounding and I just couldn't seem to get the music out of my head. This happens all the time to me. When I do get it out it just comes back again, or changes to another song. I suggest just letting it be a part of your training. Use it as background music to your training. If it's a song that gets you pumped up, this might help you gather energy for what your doing, or are going to do. When your with other people around, I suggest just telling them your going to sleep and would like some peace and quiet for how ever much time you think you will need to train, and close the door to the room your in and lock it. Have some earplugs in handy incase they don't listen to you. That's what I suggest doing about these problems.

Good Luck!

I've no suggestions about your time problem,
but perhaps I can help with the music problem.
I think that the more you try to control the music or shut it down
the more it'll come up again. So just ignore it without putting
any effort in this ignoring process.
This is just a suggestion, I got it when i was reading
something on "Training Autogeno" (sorry, I don't know the English
translation of this but it shouldn't sound much different, it basicly
a relaxation technique), and the thing to ignore were the thoughts
that surface when you try to make your mind blank.

Hope it helps.

That would be autogenic training. Tedious, hard, with dubious results. Recommended for the ascetics and those who enjoy beating themselves with nettles.

It is so very much easier to think of something else which produces the required result than to try and think of nothing.

The orgasmic cries of a beautiful lady will soon drown out any form of music ...

YES!

For Christmas my mom got me a fountain. I finally have something to listen to while I'm KI'ing. Also, i got a lava lamp. This is much better

I thought I'd give a little update on my training. Be4 i left (23rd) I tried really hard following a link to a site that auraseer had up. I made 2 KI Balls and a successful KI Flame for the first time. I was happy.

Anyhoo, i hope you all had a nice vacation. I actually learned that during this trip, it IS possible to make KI Balls while you sit in a car... Yea, no joke. That was fun. I also made it in 3 seconds.

Well, I was training again last night, and I moved on to some other techniques. I tried the KI Shield and I'm pretty sure I got that to work. I also tried to make that into the sponge shield and got that one too. I stopped shortly after that, but I made 3 KI balls last night. I'm proud

Ok umm, i dunno if this is a problem with anybody else, but no matter how hard i try, i cannot stop my mind from playing songs. I have over 100 hours worth in there....And so its god when i want to use it but when i dont i cant "shut it off". I was just wondering if anybody else ahs these issues or if anyone else can help me resolve them.

Now, concerning time. How can you find the time to do this stuff? I find myself trying to cram it in before I go to bed at 11. But when i go to my cuzins house for xmas...i will prolly be unable to train at all! So my main qwestion about time is when should i do it to avoid a knock on my door from parents and how can i train without anybody knowing in my cuzins house shich will have about 15 people in it?
