The hustles of life keep one busy and not having a calm mind to meditate. The same thing goes for me when trying to have an intentional meditation.
As for me, the best way I meditate, to connect my soul is when I play the guitar. That way, it's easy for me to connect.
I find it though to just sit and close my eyes without feeling uncomfortable. But when I pick my guitar, it gets to a point that I enter that rhema.
