How do you know meditation is working?
Judge by looking at how your life is changing.
Changing how?
Well, what is the greatest vision for who you are?
Meditation moves you toward that.
Effortlessly.
And with joy!
The meditation process transforms you in ways that your mind can not imagine right now.
Looking at your life’s transformation is the only reliable way to know that “meditation is working”.
On the other hand, if we look into the actual sit-down-and-meditate experience, then we’ll be too harsh on our self and conclude “it’s not working”.
You’ll be tempted to say...
“Oh, I had too many thoughts,” or “Oh, my mind wouldn’t calm down,” or “Oh, I felt like I wanted to get up and move,” ...
...and then be lulled to forget that these are all signs of... what? Just stress burning off, that’s it.
So, once again, how do I know meditation is working?
It’s simple. You look at your life—not at the meditating process itself.
Yes, yes, you will definitely have times when meditating feels fantastic, but that’s never the goal. The pleasurable feeling of lightness is unpredictable as there’s something much deeper going on, even when meditation feels choppy.
