Alison Cohen and Michael Gonchar write "that there’s a common misconception that mindfulness meditation is meant to be relaxing. When this is not the case, people often believe they are doing it wrong or are “bad” meditators. Practicing mindfulness meditation regularly, no matter how it may feel in the moment, supports nervous system regulation and increases awareness. The question is not whether you experience bliss throughout the meditation session but instead, as the meditation teacher Norman Fischer explains, 'The test of meditation isn’t meditation. It’s your life.'"
