Meditation is the doorway to understanding of self and inner peace. Unfortunately, as you note, it takes cultivation. Too many of the more popular new age authors portray every form of meditation as something that can be mastered quickly, with very little effort. Perhaps they have a gift for meditation. But for most of us, it is not easy. There may well be a good bit of discomfort. This is especially true if we are overwhelmed by negative life experiences and our own destructive habits. The key for such individuals is just to start and then find the help and support to continue. It is in persevering that the real benefits of meditation are found.
Hey Brice,
I’m with ya – meditation rocks!
But yep, persistence is key.
Blessings,
