One of the tricky things about meditation, can be taming the monkey mind, or constant chatter. Even regularly meditators can experience this from time to time. It can be an unrealistic assumption to have no thoughts during meditation, but with practice you can extend the gaps of silence in your mind during meditation. Guided Meditation, on the other hand is a bit different, in that your mind is kept active and focused on the guide's instructions throughout the meditation. There are also usually gaps of silence during the guided meditation for reflection and insight.
