Meditation is A Process

August 14, 2023 by Alka Dhillon Leave a Comment

meditation is a processOne thing that Technalink always encourages in everyone is a healthy desire for self-improvement. Meditation is one of the ways to achieve this, especially from a mental and spiritual point of view. However, one thing it is crucial for people to understand, especially perfectionists, is that meditation is a process and a discipline that will take time.

A Learned Response

In many ways, meditation as a form of self-improvement is not that different from athletic disciplines, such as taking up tennis for the first time or creative ventures, like deciding to learn to play a musical instrument. This means it is crucially important to be gentle and patient with yourself as you learn to meditate. Self-improvement of any kind is a challenging accomplishment. It takes time, familiarity, and repetition.

So don’t think, “This isn’t for me,” if, after an attempt or two, you feel you haven’t mastered meditation. It often takes repeated attempts for many people to finally achieve a state of mindfulness, appreciate the calming effect of controlled breathing, or even learn to stop being lost in a string of thoughts and anxieties and finally focus on the meditation itself.

Instead, think of meditation like any other craft, with a little bit more improvement every time you do it. There’s an old saying that it takes 10000 hours to master an art. While most people thinking about meditating do not have become a meditation guru as their life’s goal, it’s still important to remember that there is a level of skill and mastery to shoot for, and there is no embarrassment or shame in not hitting that level of mastery on your first try.

Instead, enjoy the journey and make the most of it, just as people who are learning to incorporate more spirituality into their workplace and reading The Om Factor: A Women’s Spiritual Guide To Leadership are learning as well in print, digital, and audiobook formats.
