I once thought that I would need to have a strong and consistent meditation practice to be taken seriously in recovery. If you are a person who has that, much respect for you and your recovery.
I'm still figuring it out. I have taken more than a few meditation courses, including a very expensive one.
I have a bookcase filled with books on meditation, and I own two meditation cushions. Despite these things, I should accept that I may never be a model meditator and instead embrace who I am when it comes to meditation.
Just like being in recovery, there is no one way to meditate. I love to meditate and feel the benefits of meditating every time I do it.
I like to meditate in all sorts of different ways, including walking meditation. I do sitting meditation, but more often in my recliner than on either of my cool meditation cushions.
