Treating meditation as exercise

musicmusic
edited August 2012 in Buddhism Basics
We do weight training or cardio for long term benefit. We don't expect results in a few days. Likewise, should meditation be approached with the same attitude - day by day we train the mind and one shouldn't expect results any time soon?

    Both have short, medium and long term results - some of them are not always perceived contemporaneously.

    Expectation is a path to disappointment.

    Doing inevitably leads to results.

    If that is the approach you are attracted towards then go for it.

    The best form of meditation is the one you will actually practice and do.

    Good luck!
