my experience has always been that it is effortless. The only time it wasn't was sometime in the first few years when I was all hung up on getting a particular experience from it, and then I'd use innappropriate effort and get headaches.
For about the last twenty, though, it has been like, oh time to meditate, and I meditate. I don't look for bliss or absence of thought or clarity or effortlessness or heart full of love or any of those things. I've had some wonderful experiences = so what?, but I truthfully can't say I experience any effort during meditation. Except as Peter has stated that there is always some subtle effort. Perhaps about the same as breathing. I sometimes forget to breathe when I meditate. --- In [email protected], Rick Archer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I find it keeps getting more and more effortless.
