This tip is from an ex-colleague of mine who opened up her own meditation practice.
I thought I'd post this here if people might find it useful, but also as a self-reminder, given intruding thoughts are a constant for me when meditating.
Quoting
In meditation we practise the concept of allowing instead of forcing a specific outcome or situation to happen. Whatever arises we allow it to be without judgement.
This concept also applies to thoughts that arise during meditation. Trying to battle thoughts away only gives them more energy and strength.
Instead, allow the thought to arise, identify its presence by acknowledging it momentarily, and then gently (but persistently) bring your attention back to the object of meditation. If you follow this process, you will find that your thoughts gradually disappear with more ease than when you try to push them away. As with many things, a light touch is more effective than force.
With practise you will find yourself more at ease with your mind even when you are not meditating!

I found this good free app for meditation.
It has a handy timer, you can find friend in your area and there is guided meditation (didn't try that yet)
Just wanted to share that on this thread

yes...
daily, on average 2 x 20 mins,

what did you make of the Chakra meditation?
it is curious, the TM teacher didn't seem to attribute strong value to the colors
when i meditate i see the colors,
depends on my mood and state
often green (hearth) and violet and blue
for me this is amazing...
i think the experience is different for everybody
the value of meditation is not limited to trading
but for me it expresses itself immediately in tangible results

Do you have an update on how TM is going for you?
Yes, I do it daily, twice a day
here are my stats :
It helps me to be focused, zen, inner calm
Probably other meditation can bring you the same merit, not
sure you need to 'focus' on transcendental, they still regularly
invite me, but i do my own thing
