So hard to do. Has anyone had any luck on this or practiced this?
Yes, Sharla,

I have been working on meditating for years. I feel that I have not made progress. My experience is somewhat similar to yours.
I can do guided imagery with my tdoc or with a 15 minute recording.
I did guided imagery in a large group one time. It was o.k.

I did find that yoga was wonderful. I loved it.
