“If the doctor wants to help a human being, he must be able to accept him as he is. And he can do this in reality only when he has already seen and accepted himself as he is.” Carl Jung
Learning to meditate in a group is wonderful. You see and hear that your difficulties and struggles are not unique, but universal. Everyone finds it challenging to sit still for even 5 minutes at first. Everyone automatically scratches an itch and moves their feet - only then remembering the instruction about stillness. And these mistakes occur more than once. Even highly-educated mature accomplished people have difficulty following simple meditation instructions for 5 minutes! We're all in the same boat.
"The road to wisdom? Well, it's plain and simple to express:
Err and err and err again, but less and less and less." Piet Hein
