In the game Wii Fit they have a balance game called Lotus Focus where you stare at a candle in a dark room. It trys to make you "Find your inner peace through this ancient Zen practice." Im not easly scared ever, throw me a shrilling horror movie and ill watch it! So why does this make me so nervous???
Why does Lotus Focus freak me out so much?
You may not be able to relax yourself enough to enjoy the experience. Instead of tending to allow your mind to go blank or to focus on a tranquil scene or thought, you seem to be reverting to anxiety as your equilibrium point.
I suggest that you conjure up a tranquil scene such as lazy clouds floating overhead and treat the other images which may attempt to intrude on the scene as background noise which you can consciously choose to be aware of but not controlled by or obsessed with.
With practice, you can learn to clear your mind of superfluous thoughts. Just give the process time.
