What is the purpose of meditation?
First let me start my saying that I am not qualified to answer any questions about meditation other than my own direct experience.
I have been practicing meditation for the last three years under the guidance of some incredibly knowledgeable individuals, and yet meditation is prehistoric. It literally has been around longer than we have recorded history! (So cool) I feel like I'm still on the first or second step of a very long journey, so anything that comes next is from personal experience and not expertise.
Why am I not further along on my journey?
Having spent the last few years with top performers from all over the country, there is one question that comes up over and over again that can cause so much pain and anxiety:
"Why am I not further along on my journey?"
Are we getting to the good part?
I had a thought this morning about "getting to the good part."
