Approach to Meditation

Many people struggle with meditation, feeling that they can't do it or that it doesn't work for them. However, it's not the technique itself that matters, but rather our approach to meditation. The focus and breath technique, for example, is simple and allows distractions and thoughts to naturally come and go. Our mindset and attitude during meditation greatly influence our experience. If we expect to stop all thoughts or harshly judge ourselves, it can lead to frustration and unpleasantness. Instead, we should focus on refining our approach, being aware of how we work with our minds, and embracing the changes in our moods and thoughts each day. By shifting our attention to our mindset and approach, meditation becomes easier and more fulfilling.
