I've been having problems meditating, the 1st two times I did it I felt amazing, now I don't get nearly as stimulated, I've gotten discouraged and I'm on my way outside to go smoke a ciggarette, can someone help me out and give me some pointers?
 
Sometimes trying too hard, or even trying to recapture a particular feeling or sensation experienced during meditation can be distracting to a point where instead of Meditating with a free and clear mind one is consumed by prior thoughts and feelings. A lack of a particular sensation does not necessarily mean it is not working the same, only that it is a separate experience and therefore is accompanied by a separate sensation. There are many factors that can cause these fluctuations in consistency.

All of us experience distraction, and our surroundings are perhaps the most obvious. I have lost count of how many times the phone has rang, someone has knocked on the front door, the dog has barked, a plane flew low over the house etc, etc, etc. These are random and uncontrollable distractions and they happen to us all. The discouragement you are experiencing is perhaps a more controllable distraction, one of your own making born from expectation.

The most important thing with Meditation is to have Intention not Expectation, couple that with a Clear mind free from distraction and you will start again to feel the rewarding benefits.

The first couple of times you meditated you didn't know what to Expect correct?

hello,
I've come into contact with spiritual stanism about a year ago, when i started i did have a burnout and was depressed i still kinda am but its not nearly as bad as it was. anyway i have problems to keep meditating, everytime when i get into the rhythm of it something inside of me just tells me to stop and it is really hard for me to keep going at that point.
this happend a couple of times and every time it happens i almost completely stop doing meditations, yoga and almost anything to do with satanism. a little while ago i started doing meditations again and yoga and it felt right to do it but still after about a week or so something just told me to stop and i dont know what to do. because of this i barely made any progress in the last year and even tough i want to get further into satanism i just cant get myself to do it.
maybe its because ive always been alone and content in my life? tough i have changed a lot in the last 2 years, or maybe it is because of my burnout/depression even tough im doing way better than a year ago, or maybe its just something completely different.
Anyway i dont know what to do do you guys maybe have some tips for me? like is it a good idea do to my best to come into contact with my guardian demon(ess)?
Thank you for your time and helpHail satan
