Beginning a Meditation Practice


You may think meditation is good, even helpful, for others but not you.

That thought has been proven wrong by everyone who has seriously undertaken the practice of meditation.

When you start it is dull and painful, painful some times beyond words.

Many arguments can be used for not starting or for giving up after a few tries.

Don't listen to the arguments.

Start small. Very small.

Pick a time of day and a place.

Be faithful to that time of day and that place.

Start with only three minutes.

Once the routine is there and you are faithful to it, then expand. Add a few minutes. Not too much.

One of the biggest stumbling blocks for beginners is 'biting off more than they can chew'. Small steps.

Let it grow slowly like a tree not fast like a weed.
