Why is meditation so difficult?

[flofrog]

It was the prompting of the Conferdation that catalyzed me into establishing a daily meditational practice! I just thought, why am I not doing this right now? Something so easy and simple? And ever since then I’ve been meditating daily.

What do you think meditation is? Maybe your preconceived ideas about meditation are holding you back???

It doesn’t have to be difficult at all. Take it slow. You are doing work below the level of conscious awareness in meditation. (THAT inspired me greatly.)

What you need to do is to designate a time of day to meditate. I prefer the mornings. And then all you need to do is to sit, breath, and be silent in body and mind. That’s all there is to it. You can do it for 5-10 minutes. Do what feels right for you! Make this time special; make it your own. Continue to do this every day for a week. You will begin to make a habit of it. And then meditation will become apart of your daily life.

I understand the difficulty in trying to establish this practice. You can move past it, I assure you! Persevere and believe in yourself, my friend

I really loved what you said Nau7ik last year.. I am glad to tell you so now !! lol
