Are you expecting mind-blowing things from your meditation practice and it’s not delivering?
I wrote this article for Elephant Journal about a few tips I wish I’d known sooner when I started meditating. This is one that I believe is really important, something I read in a book by davidji, Secrets of Meditation:
Blissful, calming, and entertaining experiences can occur during meditation, but that is not a requirement and not our goal. Special moments don’t have to happen for the experience to have its emotional, physical, or spiritual benefits.
In fact, those “special” experiences can be kind of distracting. He talks about how this can get us so caught up in evaluating our experience that we actually move away from stillness and back to thinking!
Distracted, again.
So what is the point of our meditation sessions then?
