Everyone is different, and few activities make this more apparent than with meditation. Some people experience immediate and intense benefits from mindfulness meditation practice.

Others experience minor benefits that increase over time. And others have a hard time with the practice, feeling like it’s helping but having such a hard time while they’re sitting that they really don’t know if it’s helping or not.

With that said, it’s important to talk with a professional if you have any form of mental illness, as sometimes anxiety and other conditions can worsen with meditation.

However, that aside, it takes time to see the most significant benefits of mindfulness meditation.

You have to be willing to dive deep into your mind and rest there for long periods of time over months or even years to touch those parts of yourself that you may have hid away from due to the intensity of the pain or trauma associated with it.

So enjoy the practice as an effective tool for managing stress and difficult emotions now, but be patient and see it as a long-term practice to get the most from it.
