There are thousands of types of meditation and even more individualized rituals each of us has employed on our journey to one-ness. Regardless of your specific practice of meditation, there are five basic myths that we all come across at some point in our attempts to develop a daily practice ritual. At some point, embracing these myths helped us to rationalize meditation OUT of our lives. If you can embrace these myths as just that – MYTHS – and then release them from your belief system, you will more easily give yourself permission to begin or re-engage your practice. So let’s explore together:
Myth #1
The first thing you need to do is to clear the thoughts from your mind or at least stop the thoughts.
Myth #2
Something special or transcendent is supposed to happen during meditation.
Myth #3
I’m not doing it right.
Myth #4
If I meditate long enough I will achieve enlightenment.
Myth #5
If I meditate, I am a superior human being because I am spiritual.
