One piece of advice that I do have, based on my experience, is that it helps alot to have a specific goal or reason for meditating. That way it will give you energy and motivation when you meditate. It can make meditating more fun, interesting, and have you looking forward to it everyday. |
I agree with you nightdiamond. Some people say that meditation shouldn't have a goal, but I think it is necessary to entice the mind to take up the practice. At least that has been my experience.
We were talking about enlightenment somewhere else and it occurred to me at some point that 'enlightenment' was just a carrot to get the student to take up meditation. The monkey just won't sit down unless you have a banana for him.
