It should really say “Meditation gets easier the more you do it”. Definitely can be difficult if you are out of practice, or just starting.
Accurate
There are all sorts of meditations, so there are probably types of meditation where you pay attention to the voice in your head.
However, the most common types of meditation are specifically to ignore and let go of your inner voice by focusing on something else. So, if you’re paying attention to the voice in your head, you have most likely misunderstood the assignment.
In case anyone is interrested in this, I highly recommend the book Mind Illuminated.
It’s what sold me on the whole meditation idea even through I was mostly sceptical, by clearly explaining it, and givng reasonable arguments about why it works. It also has a pretty good guide in general, with clear steps to follow and pay attention to.
I’ve been told by a lot of people that meditation is good and you should do it, with vague reasons why, and this book explained it to me clearly enough to finally get me to give it a try.
Can I get a summary? I don’t need to be convinced because meditation did help me already I’m just curious about their justification.
Wait you guys have just the single voice?
Yes, that seems weird to me as well. For me there are several and often they even have discussions with each other. It is like a whole group with different voices that have different relationships to each other. I thought that was normal.
I do have CPTSD though from trauma very early in my youth. So, something might have gone wrong in my development with regards to this. Never thought this was not normal.

FLOSTONNNNN PARADISE!
Most forms of meditation specially teach you NOT to hear the voice in your head, because that is the entire point.
the joke here is the voice is loud and obnoxious and impossible to ignore, especially dressed like that
Sure but the set up to said joke is fundamentally wrong. It’s like the punch line was written and a joke was constructed to get you there… that’s backwards
yeah I hear you but that’s usually how it works with memes and shitposts
I think that op is referencing the style that’s about observing the thoughts dispassionately and allowing them to flow away. The goal is to empty the mind, but the observing is used as an alternative to interacting or engaging.
There are infinite ways to meditate.
Wait, sit and observe the voice in your head!? That’s just a part of the joke, right? Because that voice is you?
I mean, the voice is you, but you can still observe it. To me it seems that I consist of several parts that chat, often also with each other (and often they are fighting). I am all of them, but I do not continually consciously choose what they say, so I can observe them.
I think that is what is meant here. Or maybe I am just really weird.
yeah, i have a soundtrack that is constantly playing if i am not hearing music. Right now i am obsessed with the new album that i missed the tour of because Fuck Ticketmaster. It is repeating in my head. Which is really weird because I don’t know all the lyrics so my brain is kind of Watermeloning through it until it gets to the parts where it knows the lyrics. (when you don’t know the words and you are on stage and you are supposed to be singing, if you know the tune you hum through your nose (it kind of bounces the voice off the sinuses and soft palate but you block it from coming out your mouth, some tone in harmony gets out and when you mouth watermelon it looks like you know the words. gets you out of a tough spot in choral singing. not so much if you’re the only one on that part) ) ))) some extras I forget how many tangents I went on.

The voice in my head regular stops from falling asleep…
ZzZZZZzzzzZzZZz!
Mine is often accompanied by a sound track.
Every time I’m driving in a multi level parking garage with a trail of cars behind me … the music starts
🎵 Started from the bottom now we here.
🎶 Started from the bottom now the whole gangs. Here.Repeat.
My girly thought process is actually quite similar:
