if you really make it to the top of the mountain and sort out your trauma then you would probably have less of a need to go to the top again

- eric_cc 7y agoMeditation can be like dieting+exercise in a sense. There are people that let themselves go: eat unhealthy and gain weight, exercise too little and lose muscle and cardio, etc. Then when one day they look in the mirror, realize what they've become, and it motivates them to eat healthy for a period of time, hit the gym etc. In other words, they wait until they have an issue then solve it. They are re-active, not pro-active. Alternatively, you can maintain your physical health by always being mindful of what you eat and making sure to get adequate exercise, etc. Meditation is the same deal: don't wait until the day you have serious trauma to deal with in order to start a practice of mindfulness. Do not be reactive about it. Like physical health, it is far better to Maintain and be Proactive than to let it go then React. So if you reach the top of the mountain: do you just roll back down to the bottom and then have to start all over again? Or do you actively maintain your position?
