Question I have been meditating for approximately seven months now. What kind of
progress would you say that someone ho has been meditating for this long
should have made? You see I am doing it by myself and without a teacher or
with other people, so I want to know that I am doing it correctly, and I
thought a good way to see if I am doing it right is if I am making as much
progress as I should.
Answer Hi Howard,
There is no "standard" progress towards meditation. Different people will have different temperaments, and different results.
If you are a serious meditator, seven months is a long time. In order to comment, perhaps you should share the experiences that you have encountered, and also the method of meditation.
