Today, a teaching monk reminded everyone about the principles of meditation: relaxation and focus. When meditating, it’s essential to have both, as lacking one can lead to uncomfortable feelings.
If we lack focus, our minds will wander, thinking about many things, worrying about the future, or regretting the past. This prevents our minds from truly resting. On the other hand, if we lack relaxation, we may feel stressed, experience headaches, and perceive time as passing slowly.
Therefore, when meditating, if you encounter unpleasant feelings, don’t hesitate to restart. It’s better to move slowly forward than to move backward.
Practicing meditation correctly will soon lead you to inner peace.
