I don&#39;t think it&#39;s an issue. Meditation is a process first and foremost, and that process can take time and it&#39;s part of the experience. Not going deep enough shouldn&#39;t be a reason to drop you habit. Just go with it, through it, and continue your journey. It&#39;s not a failure, it&#39;s a step towards success.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rene Q. Meditation for me is never the same.
