Meditation is Not Difficult

Meditation is not difficult. Getting beyond the ego's resistance to meditation -- that can be difficult. For this, nothing but commitment realized through daily practice will suffice.
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian

The joyous self-discipline of daily meditation over time enables us to enjoy the many benefits of meditation: enhanced health, an increased ability to focus, and improved relationships among many others. The initial difficulty of sticking to a daily practice has the added benefit of teaching us about the ego. We slowly learn to recognize when it is giving us bad advice and wait for the inspired guidance of our true self. Then the world responds in support of all our useful endeavors.
