Spirituality is meant for every Gentile - it is our blueprint to advance and evolve through spiritual means.
Feeling discouraged with meditation is entirely normal, and it’s actually a common experience. Your mind, body and spirit undergo specific changes that your mind may struggle to interpret, as it’s accustomed to a state of "stagnancy." When you start nurturing your body, mind, and spirit, your mind responds to these positive changes, often with initial resistance or confusion.
Meditation is often portrayed as a journey with a constant flow of progress, but the reality is that it's typically subtle, with progress that can feel imperceptible, especially when your mind expects tangible results or major transformations in an instant.
Meditation is ultimately a long-term practice that trains the mind, body, and spirit, and like physical fitness, the benefits grow slowly and gradually. Many practitioners only notice and realize these positive changes when they look back after a long period of time, or during challenging moments.
If longer sessions feel discouraging or dull, consider brief sessions at a time such as 5–10 minute sessions. Focusing on consistency is way more important than the length of meditation. Even a few minutes a day can make a difference over time. The most important thing is to not stop meditating.
If you slack a few days where you do not meditate, then just swing on back and meditate again. It takes more or less time to build a habit, depending on the individual.
HAIL ZEUS!
