Meditation Myths Answered [Myth 23]

I don’t know if I’m doing it right!

This is where a teacher comes in. Depending on your level it depends on the teacher. If you’re a beginner though you can learn through books, videos, online and get a very basic idea of how to begin. When you get to the higher levels of meditation is critical to have a teacher to instruct you on how to do it. Fortunately, the saying “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear” is extremely true and you will find a teacher to meet your level/aspiration will appear when you are ready. It’s also very likely that you experienced deep meditative states many times in life but didn’t know you were doing it. It may have been while you were cleaning the dishes, having a shower, doing your nails, almost anything and chances are you went into a deep meditative state without realizing. This is for a teacher to bring to your awareness.

Now, I must say that for a lower level of meditation, you can use technology to monitor your vital signs, such as heart rate variability, and they can tell you when you’re ‘in the zone’. The highest levels of meditation the experience becomes purely subjective and objective measurements are no longer useful.
