❌5 common mistake for new meditators to avoid
1️⃣ Assuming There’s Only One Way to Do It
There is no one-size-fits-all version of meditation.
It can make all the difference in the world to find the right meditation techniques for you
2️⃣ Expecting an Idealized Experience
Often there is an expectation for what should be happening for us when you meditate, based on other people's experience.
But meditation is a journey. It is a skill that’s developed over time, not a single-point destination.
3️⃣ Giving Up Too Soon
Often a new meditator gives up too soon.
Beginning meditators can benefit greatly from adding some discipline to their practice.
Use a meditation timer to help you keep your commitment to practice for a set amount of time.
4️⃣ DOn't IgnorE Your Body
There are things you can do to properly prepare our bodies for meditation.
Some light stretching can benefit the body and the mind for meditation.
5️⃣ Chasing the Bliss
Chasing a single blissful event limits what you can experience in meditation.
Meditation can shine a light on our mental tendencies. It’s not always comfortable, but it can be quite powerful. Be open to experience whatever arise in your practice.
