A solid framework for your meditation session is critical because, in many ways, when you lay the groundwork for your practice, your brain will begin to work toward making it a reality.
If you plan to purchase a new meditation pad, for example, your mind will be reminded (or you will remember) that you did so, and you will want to experience the sensation of sitting on the mat and practicing.
- You can not be consistent unless you have a solid base.
- It won't be long until everything you're doing crumbles and falls because it's not supported by anything. That's just one way of expressing how important it is to start developing a sound meditation practice as soon as possible.
- It aids in the formation of a habit.
- However, despite the fact that meditation is beneficial to everyone, not everyone is currently doing it. Some people do not engage in any kind of meditation at all. What is the reason for this? Since it isn't a regular occurrence. Many of us lead very busy lives, and our plates can often seem to be too full to take on something else. There will always be a reason to put something off, which is why it is up to you to schedule time for it.
- The aim of creating a meditation practice is to make meditation a habit, a part of your everyday routine, and something you are able to do every day without hesitation or resistance because you are short on time.
- It makes the practice rooted in your life, almost second nature. Meditating can become as natural as brushing your teeth or showering, cooking a meal, or even driving to work on a regular basis. Those patterns are so deeply rooted in you that you perform them without exerting any effort or giving them much thought.
That's what starting a meditation practice will do for you right now, and it's what you'll need to do as a basis if you want to keep your practice consistent.
