If you meditate to feel better or feel good, you won’t meditate consistently. Why? Because there are stages called “dull sameness.” They come if you meditate, and go if you persist. Then they come again and go, here and there. Why? So that the meditation is not all about you. Meditation is partly so that you will selflessly be of use to others. So there needs to be stages in meditation where what your selfish self wants, it does not get. The selfless meditator does not care about the dull sameness times. This meditator persists through such times. They want to be of service because that is what keeps them on track to live a fuller life.

Love this! ❤️ I have also found that it also allows easier access to the pause button, which is always a good thing.
