We start to meditate because we want to achieve something.
That is good. We want more peace, lower blood pressure, become more awake, be more aware of our inner thoughts, or enhance our mental power. These are all good goals. Past practice has taught meditators that these goals are indeed possible. Actually for the regular meditator, it becomes the new normal.
For beginners all that is needed is to get a practice – and begin. In the beginning the progress may only seem to be little by little. But when “flowering” in meditation is allowed to be natural – and not forced, even small events can be very beautiful – and empowering. Past mistakes have a way of dissolving when the simple fragrance of positive effort begin to waft outwards.
