Practice Makes Purpose
At the close of nearly every meditation that I guide, at least one person claims to be “bad” at meditating. It’s a belief that amuses me. One that I once held myself. It is as universally common as it is deeply inaccurate.
Mediation can not be good or bad. It is not done correctly or incorrectly. There is only experience. If you sit in two or twenty minutes of silence (or movement) and experience even a flicker of connectedness, a brief moment of feeling grounded, or a quiet notice of your internal state you have crushed it. No practice is meant to lead to perfection, meditation least of all. The purpose is to make progress toward building a calmer, more steady, relationship with yourself.

These principles don’t belong exclusively to meditation. They apply to writing, healing, parenting, movement, creativity, and personal growth. They can be used for any practice that unfolds over time. There is no perfection. We practice for progress and purpose, neither of which comes from force. They come from showing up, again and again, with a little more kindness and a little less demand.
