Why 'Blissing Out' Shouldn't Be The Goal Of Your Practice

The goal of mindfulness isn’t to ‘bliss out’. Whilst enjoyable, it is just another variation of consciousness, but something to be observed. There is a risk of striving for bliss. This may cause us to think of sessions as failures when we don’t attain them or else may make us less mindful. Simply observe it and let it go.

Great reminder to be mindful of what's so. Thank you.

I liked this one a lot! Thank you for the clarity! ❤️

Yes - setting expectations - such as “bliss”- is sabotage to a meditation practice and a mindful life - as it establishes predetermined conditional disappointments and infatuations, which are negative and positive judgements from the outset perpetuating the cycle of mindless judgementalism the practice offers freedom from.
Wiser to not set a goal to attain anything, but to set an intention of Self Awareness. This is not an objective but a subjective Way of Being that transcends judgement.
