This accurately describes my experience with meditation thus far:

The first thing to note about meditation is that it does not just describe one feeling. People sometimes refer to the “meditative state”. However, as any meditator will tell you, that state is by far not what the majority of meditation sessions look like. When you see people meditating, they are sitting still, sometimes expressionlessly.

Inside however, there might well be a whirlwind of feelings happening. In one meditation session, you could experience calm, frustration, happiness, excitement, restlessness, desire, wistfulness and rage, all in the space of a few minutes or hours.

Then, there is calm. Although not every meditator will experience calm during their sessions, it is one of the most well-known meditation feelings, and a favorite among many (yes, it’s okay to have favorites). In fact, many claim that the feeling of calm which they experience while meditating is what keeps them coming back to their practice (even when frustration becomes prevalent). The calm that comes from meditating is a deep and peaceful sort of calm. It is a feeling of time slowing down.
