Building that meditation practice is building that trust and relationship with yourself. ● If you’re a beginner to meditation, start with your breath; start with your body in the present moment. It doesn’t have to be deeply profound every time you do it. ● You’re not striving for the goal. You’re striving for the feeling that the goal will give you. ● Emotions are energy in motion.
