When I started with meditation it seemed relatively easy and I had a lot of initial successes and blissful states.
Now after some time it seems like my practice is getting harder, getting into a meditative state seems to require more effort and blissful experiences are fewer.
Does this mean that I am going in the wrong direction or could also this mean that I am just really getting started now, realizing and noting distracting states and thoughts earlier and more often (while in the beginning I might not have even noticed them as such), therefore making the sessions even more difficult.
