India, Sept. 24 -- A spiritual practice does not always feel peaceful or rewarding. Some days, meditation may feel effortless. On other days, you may sit quietly and wonder whether anything is changing at all. You may also compare your experiences with others or worry that you are not progressing fast enough.

Spiritual organisation, Aathman Awareness Centre, offers a different way to look at these moments. Its guidance for spiritual seekers focuses less on measuring progress and more on continuing the practice with discipline, patience and surrender.

You do not have to keep checking whether meditation is "working". According to the Aathman Awareness Centre, worrying about your progress can become another task on top of meditation.
