Meditation is similar to physical exercise in that we are practicing a skill. The more we practice the skill, the more capable we get at using it. For that reason, it’s best to meditate daily if you can. Unlike with exercise, you won’t feel sore afterward, so there is no need for days off. Having said that, if you’re not able to meditate daily it’s important to be gentle with yourself and not beat yourself up for having “inadequate discipline.” Explore more Yoga Retreats

 

Meditation works best when we commit to doing it regularly, whether that’s daily or less frequently. Again, like physical exercise, maintaining that regularity over long periods allows us to gain a more intimate familiarity with our mind than we could otherwise.
